OVERVIEW OF MODERN ANAEROBIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT METHODS

Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3

Abstract

The paper presents an overview of modern anaerobic wastewater treatment technologies. Characterised reactors for anaerobic wastewater treatment include UASB, ABR, AMBR, ASBR, AnMBR and EGSB reactors. Comparison with aerobic methods shows that use of anaerobic reactors allows for at least three times reduction of the amount sludge. Analysing the disadvantages and advantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment reactors, it can be concluded that their use is beneficial in wastewater treatment plants with problems of high COD concentrations in incoming wastewater and problems of the amount of sewage sludge produced.
