โฆ Synopsis
An Upflow Anaerobic Filter (UAF) treating cheese whey showed a non-homogeneous biomass distribution and COD degradation along the reactor. Higher biomass concentration with a higher methanogenic activity was present in the lower than in the upper part of the filter. In order to increase the methanogenic capacity of the filter, a double-feed system was tested. The UAF with the double feeding presented higher methane production and completely homogeneous characteristics regarding biomass distribution and activity as well as COD removal along the reactor.

Attempts at validation of models of the anaerobic degradation process in high-rate reactors have generally been inconclusive as a result of the lack of sufficiently comprehensive sets of reported experimental data. In most cases, the data have not been self-verifying, as a result of insufficient ana
## Abstract The direct treatment of whey wastewater at various sludge ages (10โ75 days) and high biomass concentration (above 50 g mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) dm^โ3^) in a submerged membrane bioreactor (sMBR) is described. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of raw whey varied in the range of
