The textile industry wastewaters are known as one of the main sources of severe pollution problems worldwide. In particular, the release of highly colored effluents is undesirable, due to toxic and resistant effects to the environment. In this study, four stage anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) with a working volume of 19 L was fed with real textile effluent containing about chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 1000mg/L, color of 80.2 m-1(λ436), 89.9 m-1(λ525), 95.7 m-1(λ620), 3335 Pt-Co and assessed under varying operational conditions. Initially effect of glucose as external substrate on ABR performance was assessed. COD and color removal efficiencies of the ABR reached to 66.9% and 88% when influent COD was increased to 2000 mg/L by external substrate addition. Additionally. ozonation was applied followed by anaerobic treatment to investigate the removal of the residual color and COD. The overall COD and color (Pt-Co unit) removal efficiencies via post-ozonation were 41.7% and 68.5% respectively for ozonation time of 75min.
