Abstract

Anaerobic technology cannot directly replace current wastewater treatment processes exclusively. The UASB reactor configuration removes slightly less organic carbon by comparison as the process relies on lamella separation for passive clarification rather than using fine pores like anMBR. By contrast, whilst anMBR can operate as a single unit process for organic carbon removal, the membrane surface has to be cleaned using gas sparging to limit surface deposition, which requires extra energy. One can demonstrate the significance of nitrogen removal on total energy demand using the UASB-ASP flowsheet as an example. Lower temperatures increase the solubility of dissolved gases, in accordance with Henry's law. Novel secondary technologies increase both the environmental and economic horizon by realizing energy positive wastewater treatment and the potential to generate new product streams.
