Besides aerobic biological treatment and mechanical separation processes, anaerobic treatment becomes more and more important in the purification of liquid waste with high organic load. The search for an economic treatment procedure leads to a two-stage anaerobic-aerobic treatment concept. Aerobic secondary treatment is required because the purification capacity will not be sufficient with anaerobic treatment only. Comparing two different anaerobic procedures, suitability, advantages and disadvantages can be determined. These procedures are the anaerobic contact sludge procedure (digester) and the up-flow reactor (UASB). The following aerobic stages are identical, they consist of activated sludge tank and final sedimentation tank with separate return sludge flow. 4, record 1, English, - up%2Dflow%20reactor

La granulation a été examinée dans un réacteur anaérobie à flux ascendant avec une couverture de boue (UASB, Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket), à une température ambiante de 21,8° C. Des eaux d'égouts de brasseries, avec une demande chimique en oxygène (DOC) moyenne de 2030 mg/l et une demande en oxygène biochimique de 1150 mg/l, furent utilisées comme substrat et de la boue anaérobie digérée comme inoculum. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20ana%C3%A9robie%20%C3%A0%20flux%20ascendant

anaerobic filter system. A technology used in anaerobic digestion suited to liquid effluents with high levels of dissolved organic matter and relatively low levels of particulate solids. In an anaerobic filter, the biomass is retained by trapping or immobilizing on a fixed carrier which may be in the form of large plates, specially designed random plastic supports, or broken pieces of rock or similar material. The reactor may be run as a continuous process in either an upflow or a downflow mode. Retention of the cells on a support gives a high ratio of solids retention time to hydraulic retention time, permitting high rates of throughput. 2, record 5, English, - anaerobic%20filter%20reactor

Le filtre anaérobie. Les systèmes sont généralement du type filtre immergé «upflow». Le support utilisé pour la fixation des microorganismes est généralement un matériau naturel (type gravier) ou artificiel (type anneaux plastiques). La fixation des bactéries permet de travailler avec des temps de séjour très courts en conservant une grande stabilité de fonctionnement. L'activité des microorganismes est importante et permet d'obtenir des résultats intéressants sur tous les types d'effluents liquides, les taux de charge sont 3 à 10 fois plus importants qu'en procédé contact. 2, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20%C3%A0%20filtre%20ana%C3%A9robie
