ABSTRACT:
A method for providing a uniform plug flow through an anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor includes distributing incoming wastewater generally evenly near the bottom of reactor and evenly collecting the wastewater near an upper level thereof so as to produce upward plug flow through the reactor during filling, recycle and decanting and minimize horizontal mixing. Such plug flow encourages growth of heavier biomass near the bottom of the reactor where substrate is greatest and discourages growth of light biomass near the top of the reactor where substrate is least. Wastewater is also preferably recycled from the top to the bottom of the reactor. Apparatus is provided to be used in conjunction with the method. The apparatus is also usable in conjunction with a subsequent aerobic sequencing batch reactor.
