The objective of the project was to assess the applicability of anaerobic method for the treatment of organic solid waste from the leather processing plant and waste sludge from the plant’s WWTP. The following activities were carried out: (i) characterization of the waste and waste sludge and laboratory tests using the BMP (biochemi-cal methane potential) test, (ii) growth of anaerobic bacteria in an anaerobic reactor (pilot plant in reduced scale), (iii) adaptation of anaerobic bacteria to the waste and waste sludge from the plant, (iv) full scale pilot plant tests in the anaerobic reactor. The results suggest that the anaerobic process is (i) very sensitive due to long adaptation pe-riod of microorganisms as a result of modifications of conditions in the reactor, and (ii) inefficient (40-70% effi-ciency) due to low organic matter content in the waste streams.

A reduced scale pilot plant (36 l/min) was built (aeration, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, oxidation, filtration) and erected on site with the objective to carry out detailed investigations of the treatment efficiency of various unit processes. Based on extensive tests and results, a number of recommendations were provided with regard to design parameters for new pretreatment units and rehabilitation measures at the existing pressure filters that will bring the perfor-mance of the existing plant in line with the drinking water standards.
