Low energy costs, reduced sludge production, proven reliability and moderate land requirements are some of the reasons why anaerobic treatment is becoming an increasingly popular choice for the treatment of industrial effluents. Supported by the Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) (formerly SERC), this book provides a definitive guide to the principles and practices of anaerobic wastewater treatment. Incorporating a comprehensive review of the UK SERC pilot plant research programme and including performance data from fully operational plants in the UK and Europe, the book is illustrated by useful real-life examples. Aimed at engineers, plant operators and consultants, this book offers a clear, step by step guide to all aspects of anaerobic treatment and will help readers to:

  • Assess the suitability of anaerobic treatment for particular effluents
  • Select appropriate processes
  • Design and cost treatment plant
  • Benchmark treatment plant performance
  • Identify design faults in operating plant
  • Anaerobic treatment in perspective
  • The principles of Anaerobic digestion
  • Classification of industrial effluents
  • Reactor design for industrial effluent treatment
  • Pilot-scale plant performance
  • Full scale plant performance
  • Step-by-Step design
  • The cost-effectiveness of Anaerobic treatment
