Anaerobic Treatment
Anaerobic Treatment
Aerobic Treatment
Comparison between
Aerobic and Anaerobic Treatment
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Conditions
Preferably after pre-clarification
Best for wastewater with lower
concentration
Rather cold wastewater
Conditions
Also without pre-settling
Only for medium and high
concentrated wastewaters
Warm wastewater (>20C)
Process
Low effluent values can be
attained
Simultaneous N & P removal
possible
High excess sludge production
Process
Low effluent values only with
additional aerobic polishing
No significant N or P removal
Very small excess sludge
production
Comparison between
Aerobic and Anaerobic Treatment
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Byproducts
A lot of excess sludge
Byproducts
Valuable biogas
Operation
High:
Aeration (power)
Nutrients (N & P)
Sludge disposal
Operation
Low:
Low power consumption
No or little nutrients
No or little excess sludge

ADI-BVF Reactor
Low-rate sludge blanket process
Typical COD loading rates: 0.3-3.0 kg/m3.d
Ideal for a wide range of wastewaters
Typical HRTs: 7 to 14 days
Very stable operations
Range of operating temperatures: 20 to 40 C
Very long SRT reduced sludge disposal costs
COD removals can be >90%
Handles wastes with high TSS and FOG concentrations

ADI-AnMBR
Ideal for high-strength waste streams containing high influent COD and TSS
concentrations and FOG
Produces effluent with much lower BOD and TSS concentrations compared to
conventional anaerobic technologies
Does not require granular sludge which can de-granulate and is not always
readily available

ADI-Hybrid Reactor
Intermediate rate process
Typically used in petro-chemical industry
Combination of UASB and UFF reactors
Lower portion (UASB) is typically 30 to 70% of reactor volume, and
flocculent and/or granular sludge develops there
The type of sludge that develops is not important
Upper portion (UFF) is typically 30 to 70% of reactive volume; the media is
a mix of cross and vertical flow type and provides extensive surface area
Media is an effective gas-liquids-solids separator
