Description An anaerobic fixed film reactor was operated at temperatures between 49 and 55-degrees-C, as a thermophilic reactor using actual pharmaceutical wastewater, to observe the effects of temperature and cobalt addition on the performance of the reactor. The reactor was operated with a COD of 2500 mg L-1 at HRT of 4.7 days. COD, TVA, SS, VSS, NH4-N, PO4-P and SO4 were measured. The temperature of 54-degrees-C was found to be the optimum operating temperature with respect to the removal efficiency. Cobalt addition did not affect COD removal and increased gas production but decreased methane percentage.
