The impact of trivalent aluminium (Al3+) ion, added to the feed of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, was assessed on the granulation of the reactor sludge. This study aimed to evaluate both the granulation effects and the reactor efficiency in treating chemical oxygen demand (COD) while generating biogas. The methodology involved testing three different concentrations of Al3+ (100, 200, and 300 mg/L) during the operation of the UASB reactor. Results indicated that at all concentrations, the addition of Al3+ facilitated the formation of larger-sized granules in greater proportions compared to the control reactor, with the most significant effect observed at a concentration of 300 mg/L. However, it was noted that metal fortification with Al3+ did not influence the reactor efficiency in terms of COD removal. Thus, while Al3+ positively affected granulation, it did not impair the reactor's overall treatment performance.
