Abstract
The organic volumetric loading rate is an important parameter for anae robic digester design. The effects of the organic volumetric loading r ate on the soluble COD (SCOD) removal from settled piggery waste, sett led beef cattle manure, screened dairy manure and torula yeast waste w ere studied Two models describing the response of the systems were com pare& a pseudo first-order and a second-order model.
