Anaerobic digester types

Anaerobic digester types

The following is a partial list of different types of anaerobic digesters. These processes and systems harness anaerobic digestion for purposes such as sewage treatment and biogas generation.

Examples include:
*Anaerobic activated sludge process
*Anaerobic clarigester
*Anaerobic contact process
*Anaerobic expanded-bed reactor
*Anaerobic filter
*Anaerobic fluidised bed
*Anaerobic lagoon
*Anaerobic migrating blanket reactor
*Batch system anaerobic digester
*Continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR)
*Expanded granular sludge bed digestion (EGSB)
*Hybrid reactor
*Imhoff tank
*Internal circulation reactor (IC)
*One-stage anaerobic digester
*Submerged media anaerobic reactor
*Two-stage anaerobic digester
*Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket digestion (UASB)
*Upflow and down-flow anaerobic attached growth
