Abstract:The anaerobic single-stage reactor was evaluated to treat vinasse and to evaluate its stability. This bench reactor was filled with dolomitic limestone with a horizontal plug flow to simulate a drainage channel. The experiment lasted 129 days while the reactor was submitted to different applied organic concentrations (chronologically applied: 3.0; 5.0; 12.0; 9.0 and 7.5 g L -1 as COD, chemical oxygen demand). COD removals were 50% and 9% with 3.0 and 7.5 g L -1 , respectively. With 12.0 g L -1 , reactor effici… Show more
