Operating Study of Microwave Treatment System Using Design of Experiment Technique

Abstract

This paper presents the findings of an experimental investigation into the effects of irradiation power (PM), flow rate (FR), and treating number (NT) in anaerobic digestion of food industrial wastewater. A two-level factorial experiment has been used to accomplish the objective of the experimental study. The specific energy demand (SED) of microwave treatment was the response variable investigated. The experimental results indicate that the proposed mathematical models suggested could adequately describe the performance indicators within the limits of the factors that are being investigated.
