Modified Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed (UASB) Process

Modified Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed (UASB) Process
Introduction

ITRI's up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) process is highly efficient in treating high strength organic wastewater. Organic pollutants are bio-degraded and transformed to biogas which is separated by a specially designed gas-liquid-solids separator and collected for energy use.

More Information

Applications

ITRI's UASB technology has been applied to industrial wastewater treatment including food processing, distillery, chemical processing, pulp and paper, petrochemical, and optoelectronics industries.

 

Features

• Low investment cost (land requirement and construction cost)
• Low operating cost (power, chemical requirement and sludge yield)
• Potential energy recovery (methane)
