Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket digestion - Wikipedia
Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) technology, normally referred to as UASB reactor, is a form of anaerobic digester that is used for wastewater treatment. The UASB reactor is a methanogenic (methane-producing) digester that evolved from the anaerobic clarigester.
Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor - an overview ...
The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor is a suspended-growth reactor that maintains very high concentration of microbial biomass by promoting granulation (Fig. 10.5). The anaerobic granules are 1–3 mm in diameter and dense enough to settle down in the reactor.
Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Technology for Energy ...
Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor belongs to high-rate systems, able to perform anaerobic reaction at reduced hydraulic retention time, if compared to traditional digesters. In this review, the most recent advances in UASB reactor ...

Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor - ScienceDirect
UASB reactors can efficiently operate at high OLR (up to 20 kgCOD/m 3.d) producing methane yield levels as high as the theoretical one (350 mLCH 4 /kgCOD). UASB is also used in two-stage schemes to achieve improved performance levels (e.g. increase COD removal and/or enhance biogas production).
Applications of Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) and ...
UASB proved to effectively remove organic substances with variable yields in terms of methane production. Several applications of UASB in more complex treatment lines are reported in the literature.
Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor - Akvopedia
The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB) is a single tank process. Wastewater enters the reactor from the bottom, and flows upward. A suspended sludge blanket filters and treats the wastewater as the wastewater flows through it.
