WarraniumUASBR - Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor
WarraniumUASBR is an anaerobic method of treatment, organic pollutants in wastewater are degraded by microbes producing methane and carbon dioxide. The degradation process is effective compared to the more conventional aerobic processes and produces only 5-10% of sludge. This saves considerably on the cost associated with the sludge disposal. Among anaerobic technologies, the most popular ones are the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASBR). In the UASB rector process, the waste to be treated is introduced at the bottom of the reactor. The wastewater flows upward through activated sludge blanket composed of biologically formed granules or particles. Treatment occurs as the waste comes interacts with the granules. Among the main applications for UASB reactor are in the beverage, brewery, food, dairy, sugar mills and tannery industries.
