Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB)reactors were used to treat municipal wastewater attemperatures of 6, 11, 15, 20 and 32 C and athydraulic retention times (HRTs) ranging from 48 to 3 h overan operational period of approximately 860 days. The Monodmodel was used to evaluate substrate utilization. TheArrhenius model was used to calculate the activationenergies from which temperature coefficients weredetermined. It was found that the maximum specific substrateutilization rate constant (k) decreased from 0.387 d super(-1)(at 32 C) to 0.041 d super(-1) (at 6 C). Thedecay rate constant (k sub(d)), yield coefficient (Y sub(g)),half velocity constant (K sub(s)) and maximum specific growthrate (k sub(m) ) were also impacted by temperature in theUASB treatment of municipal wastewater.
