UASB [Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket] is a process used for the biological treatment of effluents. It is based on the principle of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket digester... Main advantages :-Sludge blanket improves contact between waste water and biomass, therefore efficiency of decomposition process-Improved product quality-Increased biomass concentration in reactor by formation of pellet sludge-Direct reuse of biogas calorific value is possible-No generation of secondary waste or concentrate streams. 2, record 2, English, - pellet
