Design, construction, and starting-up of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was carried out.
The wastewater is treated by upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) digester for rapid production of biogas.
This research aims to develop a compact on-site anaerobic treatment of department store wastewater and biogas recovery by a two-step UASB EGSB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket – Expanded Granular Sludge Blanket) as an energy-saving system.
Experiments were carried out in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor inoculated with enriched acetogenic and methanogenic cultures.
The review presented in this paper focuses on applications of particulate biofilm reactors (e.g. Upflow Sludge Blanket, Biofilm Fluidized Bed, Expanded Granular Sludge Blanket, Biofilm Airlift Suspension, Internal Circulation reactors).
An upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) bioreactor was successfully used for the treatment of petroleum refinery effluent.
Sulfate reduction by carbon monoxide (CO) utilizing anaerobic biomass from a large scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was studied.
Lettinga invented the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket, a reactor that used microbes to digest pollutants in domestic sewage and industrial effluents and converted them into methane, which could then be used as a fuel.
Effluent of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was treated in a downflow rope-bed-biofilm-reactor (RBBR) to remove residual organic matter and nitrogen.
Therefore, the possibility of accelerating syntrophic metabolism of ethanol in up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors by incorporating conductive materials in reactor design was investigated.
The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor built, had a working volume of 22.3 m3and a hydraulic residence time of 22 days.
