Treatment of starch-processing wastewater in sequencing batch reactor
Starch processing industries have increased their production recently due to high demand in various food products. As a result, water consumption was increased and discharged without proper treatment which may cause pollution. Major problems caused by tapioca starch wastewater is water pollution due...

Starch processing industries have increased their production recently due to high demand in various food products. As a result, water consumption was increased and discharged without proper treatment which may cause pollution. Major problems caused by tapioca starch wastewater is water pollution due to high biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) concentrations causing low water quality. Untreated starch wastewater contained high BOD3, COD and SS concentrations at 2,532 mg/L, 14,966 mg/L and 4,869 mg/L with pH 6.33 and high colour range at 1770 ADMI, respectively. High water consumed had increased the production cost for treatment of starch processing wastewater. Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is a simple, compact and save spacing technology to treat wastewater due to simultaneous operation in one tank. SBR also had great potential to remove organic matter as desired with variables cycle time and operation. In this study, starch wastewater was treated at organic loading rate of 1.5 kg COD/m3d.
