In the last 40 years, anaerobic sludge bed reactor technology evolved from localized lab-
scale trials to worldwide successful implementations at a variety of industries. High-rate …

Anaerobic reactors have acquired a new relevance in recent years due to their ability to
generate methane from biodegradable wastewaters—thereby producing clean energy …

Industrial wastewaters are becoming increasingly associated with extreme conditions such
as the presence of refractory compounds and high salinity that adversely affect biomass …

For the anaerobic biological treatment of saline wastewater, Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is
currently a possibility, even though elevated salt concentrations can be a major obstacle …

Bacterial surface properties fundamentally affect the stability and aggregation of anammox
granular sludge. The variation in the surface properties of the granular sludge at different …

Anaerobic biological treatment of high-salinity wastewater has attracted much attention due
to its environmental and economic benefits. However, the granulation can be significantly …

Considering the importance of stable and well-functioning granular sludge in anaerobic high-
rate reactors, a series of experiments were conducted to determine the production and …

As a solution of the sludge loss in the treatment of saline wastewater, the granulation of
halophilic sludge was explored in this study. The inoculated estuarine sediment was …

It is commonly accepted that high salt concentrations negatively affect microbial activity in
biological wastewater treatment reactors such as upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) …

Although the influence of salinity on the aggregation of anaerobic ammonia oxidation
(anammox) granules has been investigated, the mechanism behind its effect remains poorly …
