Anaerobic filter

Anaerobic filter

In sewage treatment systems, an anaerobic filter (AF) is a form of anaerobic digester. The digestion tank contains a filter medium where anaerobic bacterial populationsorganisms that live in the absence of aircan establish themselves. Such filters are commonly employed in the treatment of waste water. These reactors are gaining in popularity versus more established aerobic waste-water treatment systems because they produce a less solid residue [ [http://www.usc.es/biogrup/Anaerobic%20filter...Water%20Research.37%20(4099-4108).pdf AF Reactor Paper] Francisco, O., Garrido, J.
