	%X The aim of this study was to investigate the
effectiveness of anaerobic digestion for the treatment of wool
scouring wastes. The experiments design comprised three ratios of
waste (W) to seed(S) (W:S) of 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25, corresponding
to 1.9. 1.7 and 1.5g tCOD/g TS, respectively, with or without
chemicals addition. NH4Cl was added to the reactors as a source for
nitrogen to achieve C:N:P of 420:14:3. A cationic flocculent was
added at 0.5 and 0.75% to enhance flocculation of sludge. The results
showed that the reactors that received W:S at a ratio of 25:75
produced the largest volume of biogas. The final soluble COD
(sCOD) was below the limits for discharge to the sewer system.
