Anaerobic Reactors

Anaerobic Contact Process Anaerobic contact reactors employ an external clarifier or vessel to settle solids and subsequently recycle them back to the reactor tank Typical configurations include large tanks due to the low organic and hydraulic loading rates employed in their design

Anaerobic Treatment Systems

Anaerobic Treatment Systems Anaerobic treatment is a biological process ideally suited for the pretreatment of high strength wastewaters that are typical of many industrial facilities The anaerobic process utilizes naturally occurring bacteria to break down biodegradable material in an industrial wastestream
