Anaerobic Biological Wastewater Treatment.

Biogas typically consists of 70% methane (CH4) and 30% carbon dioxide (CO2) with residual fractions of other gases (e.g. H2 and H2S). The methane can be used as an energy source. Anaerobic reactors can be implemented in a variety of ways. (The figure shows a contact reactor and an upflow reactor. The sludge is mixed with wastewater in the reactor, then separated in the sedimentation tank and returned to the reactor. | ||
In the anaerobic upflow reactor, the influent is introduced at the bottom of the vertical reactor. The primarily grain-shaped sludge forms a blanket in the reactor, with the most compact sludge grains at the bottom and the lighter grains and heavier sludge floccules above it. Light sludge floccules are released by the upward flow, but can potentially be collected in a sedimentation tank. Biogas is collected and disposed of at the top of the reactor, separately from the partially purified water and the sludge. | In the anaerobic upflow reactor, the influent is introduced at the bottom of the vertical reactor.
