Final Report

Fall '15
  • Can GSBRs be used effectively to further treat wastewater after a UASB process? (links with Aerobic GSBR team)

  • How effective are designs at capturing methane generated in UASB (minimizing losses in effluent and through leaks)

  • How robust are UASBs at handling rapid fluctuations in the strength of wastewater?

  • How well do the UASBs treat Nitrogen, phosphorus and, possibly, fecal indicator bacteria (harmless E.coli)?

  • How many households should be treated by a single UASB (ie. what is the ideal scale for the reactors - whole towns, small enclaves of ~10 homes, individual homes?)

  • How much energy can be produced per household reactor and how does this compare with cooking needs (cookstoves can use biogas directly)?

  • Methane co-generation (heat and electricity; will require generator)

  • How sensitive are cultures to Oxygen stress and/or acid stress?
