 Anaerobic Indication
1. Biogas Production
• The biogas production approx 35% of COD load
• CO2 content about 20 – 35% (CH4 65 – 80%)
• Control ratio of CH4 for CO2
• The CO2 content tend to increase when overloading occurs.
2. “Real” Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) in effluent
• Max VFA 500 ppm in effluent anaerobic
• High VFA indicate the system overload
3. Suspended Solid in effluent
• Biomass growth about 2 – 4 % of COD load
• Biomass loss should be less then growth (check with ASS, Active SS)
• Imhoff cone 5 minutes check. COD 2000 ppm, max ASS 0,2 ml/l

 Anaerobic Indication
4. Biomass bed level and profile
• Sludge bed height should be in the range of 4 meter (total 12 meter)
• Bottom reactor high concentration granular biomass about 50-80 g / l
• In the bottom of the settler is a low concentration biomass about 10 g / l
• If bed level dropped could be caused by not sufficient of nutrient, abnormal
pH or temperature, over / under loading, toxic / inhibitory components,
deviation from design waste water.
5. COD reduction rate
• The expected total COD reduction is 70% or higher.
• VFA max 5 meq/l (500 ppm), preferable less than 2 meq/l

Anaerobic Process
1. Hydrolisa limbah organik dari komponen
komplek menjadi sederhana.
2. Acidifikasi: pengasaman dari limbah
organik sederhana menjadi VFA (volatile
fatty acid)
3. Acetogenesis: fermentasi asam menjadi
acetate, hydrogen dan karbondioksida.
4. Methanogenesis: merubah menjadi
methane gas.
