Anaerobic Granules to Booster UASB Reactors - Brochure

Problem: In anaerobic wastewater treatment, organic material is converted into biogas by the successive action of four major microbial consortia. Disturbance of the process equilibrium (eg overloading or intoxication of the biomass) greatly decreases the reactor performance. Another typical problem in anaerobic UASB reactors is the lack of granular sludge formation, depending on a broad range of parameters which cannot always be strictly controlled.
