UASB - Spring 2018

Zac Chen, Jennifer Jackson, Ian Cullings, and Ananya Gangadhar

Abstract:

Since Spring 2017, the AguaClara Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Team has been working on a detailed design of modified, pilot-scale UASB reactor originally proposed in an EPA P3 proposal. A UASB reactor treats wastewater anaerobically and produces biogas as a by-product. Working towards that goal, the team has created Python code to record the design process and calculations for this AguaClara UASB. This document serves as a master guide for the design process.
