The objective of the project was to investigate the performance of the laboratory scale sequencing batch reactor(SBR) for combined removal of soluble organics and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from slaughter-house wastewater by varying D.O. and design parameters like dilution factor, filling time, cycle time, anoxic/anaerobic sequence and anoxic/anaerobic time phase. Good denitrification was obtained in all the runs performed. The SBR was found to perform well with respect to EBPR (enhanced biological phosphorus removal) for slaughter-house waste-water upon adding sodium acetate as an RBCOD, thus increasing the SCOD/TKN (soluble-COD/Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen) ratio.
