Features: Anaerobic wastewater treatment technology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the field of wastewater treatment in recent years and is also an important technology for achieving "one control and two standards." It is an effective way to reduce organic pollutants and lower operating costs. In particular, the anaerobic upflow sludge bed (UASB) technology has developed into one of the mainstream anaerobic treatment technologies both domestically and internationally. Since China began to develop and introduce UASB treatment technology in the early 1980s, it has continued to make breakthroughs during the country's "Seventh Five-Year Plan," "Eighth Five-Year Plan," and "Ninth Five-Year Plan." This book provides a detailed introduction to the latest research achievements of researchers in the field of anaerobic technology both domestically and internationally. It focuses on the author's exploration and practice in the equipment and engineering application of UASB reactors and their supporting equipment during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" national key project. The book elaborates on the process technology, reactor structure, and application of supporting equipment types such as three-phase separators and distributors for UASB, providing readers with a wealth of comprehensive information on the engineering application of anaerobic technology. Additionally, it introduces the application issues of UASB technology in wastewater treatment across different industries and compares it with other anaerobic technologies. This book can serve as a reference for personnel engaged in wastewater treatment research, engineering design, teaching, and operational management.
