    FACT SHEET

    Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor

    The Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor is a form of anaerobic (oxygen-
    free) digester that is used in the treatment of wastewater.

    Benefits of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor

    • It is able to treat highly polluted water


    • Low energy requirement because aeration is not needed
    • Less operation and maintenance cost
    • Lower skill requirement for operation / supervision
    • Compact design
    • Less sludge production
    • Biogas produced by the process can be used for other purposes
    • Sludge can be used as fertilizers
