Anaerobic treatment is an energy-efficient process in which microbes transforms organic content of wastewater into biogas in the absence of oxygen.
The process is configured in a reactor with a gastight cover.
Products
Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB)
High-rate anaerobic treatment for organic-rich wastewater
Salient Features
Effective in treating high-strength organic wastewater
Generates a renewable energy source (biogas) that can be used for heating or electricity generation
Anaerobic digestion produces significantly less excess sludge compared to aerobic processes
No requirement for aeration, which is energy-intensive in aerobic treatment
Generally, less complex than some other advanced wastewater treatment systems
Can handle high loads in a relatively small reactor volume due to the high biomass concentration
Anerobic Filter
Sustainable wastewater treatment through anaerobic biofilms
Salient Features
Effective in treating soluble organic matter
High biomass retention leads to stable and efficient treatment
Can handle fluctuations in organic loading rates
Relatively low sludge production compared to aerobic processes
Relatively simple construction and operation
Anerobic MBR
Hybrid anaerobic-membrane systems for high-quality effluent
Salient Features
Produces high-quality treated water that is low in suspended solids, turbidity, and often bacteria and viruses, making it suitable for reuse applications
Combines the efficient degradation of organic matter by anaerobic digestion with the excellent solids retention of membrane filtration
The high biomass concentration and efficient separation allow for smaller reactor volumes compared to conventional anaerobic systems, followed by clarification
Solids Retention Time (SRT) from Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) allows for slow-growing microorganisms to thrive, leading to higher degradation of organic matter and better stability
Generates a renewable energy source (biogas)
Anaerobic digestion inherently produces less sludge compared to aerobic processes, and the high Solids Retention Time (SRT) in AnMBRs can further reduce sludge yield
Depending on the specific application, AnMBRs can be integrated with nutrient recovery processes
