Organic loading rate (OLR), Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) and up flow velocity are important parameters significantly affecting microbial ecology and characteristics of anaerobic reactors. In this study, Performance of an anaerobic hybrid reactor (UASB/Filter) at mesophilic condition was evaluated in a 15.4 L reactor receiving petrochemical wastewater. The temperature of influent was adjusted by an inline heat exchanger at around 35 uC. The reactor was seeded with flocculent sludge from a UASB plant treating dairy wastewater. The sludge was acclimatized to petrochemical wastewater in two- stage operation. After 39 weeks, a COD reduction of 70.3% was obtained at OLR=2.0 kg m -3 d -1 and HRT=18 h. Under steady state conditions, experiments were conducted at OLRs of between 0.5 and 24 kg TCOD m -3 d -1 , hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 4-48 h and up flow velocities 0.021-0.25 m h -1 . Removal efficiencies in the range of 42-86% were achieved at feed TCOD concentrations of 1000- 4000 mg L -1 . The biogas production data used for determination of biogas production kinetics. The values of Gmax and GB estimated as 11.173 LL -1 d -1 and 85.83 g L -1 d -1 , respectively.
