In the production of ethanol from sugar cane molasses, large volumes of waste water containing very high concentrations of organics are generated. Both anaerobic and aerobic processes are available for treatment of this waste. Each process exhibits advantages and disadvantages. Anaerobic treatment has the advantage of low energy consumption and the production of biogas. The operation and performance of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor treating distillery waste under high loading rates is discussed.
