Abstract

Municipal wastewater generated in all cities is not being treated, which cause environmental problems. A readily biodegradable organic matter is a carbohydrate such as lactose which provides a simple and easy mathematical modeling and numerical interpretation. The results were that the proposed model consists of 5 different ordinary equations and 4 algebraic equations. The removal efficiency obtained was 95% for a volumetric charge of organic material 4 g / l. The formation of methane and carbon dioxide has been very low by the inhibition of methanogenesis process due to a high concentration of hydrogen in the reactor.
