Description: The anaerobic buffer rector (ABR) and anaerobic filter (AF) systems as commercial
products are still limited since the design criteria and operation manual have been unspecified in
common scale and unknown for Cambodia case study. Thus, this research aims to optimize system
configuration, and operation condition of decentralized ABR and AF for treating of domestic
wastewater. Laboratory scale of ABR and AF consisting of 66 L and 52 L volume with 8 and 5
compartments were operated under hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24–48 hr. For ABR, inlet
and outlet between each compartment was varied between 3 and 9 cm height while foam and
ceramic filters were used in AF system as attached growth and filter medias. After longer operation,
pH of both reactors was in neutral condition (6.8–7.2). In case of treatment performance, the ABR
operating under HRT of 48 hr and 3 cm heigh was an optimum condition, yielding total suspended
solid (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 93% and 92%, which varied from 4% to 23%
higher compared to other conditions. Likewise, AF operating with HRT of 48 hr and foam medium
could remove TSS and COD of 92% and 91% while other conditions reached of only 82–89%.
Fluctuation of nitrogen removal in both reactors could identify the presence of nitritation bacteria.
Moreover, 6 compartments of ABR and 2 compartments of AF could treat domestic wastewater to
reach effluent standard of Cambodia.

Keywords: Domestic wastewater, anaerobic baffled reactor, anaerobic filter
