Characterization of microbial granulation process in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors
Anaerobic sludge granulation is essentially a microbial selection process through dynamic selection pressures imposed on the sludge. As a result, bacteria which tend to develop aggregates, are preferentially promoted whereas dispersed free cells or loose floes are not. Granulation enables the reacto...

| Summary: | Anaerobic sludge granulation is essentially a microbial selection process through dynamic selection pressures imposed on the sludge. As a result, bacteria which tend to develop aggregates, are preferentially promoted whereas dispersed free cells or loose floes are not. Granulation enables the reactor to perform well due to high settleability and activity of granules. |
