- Abstract
The anaerobic bioreactor applies the principles of biotechnology and microbiology, and nowadays it has been used widely in the wastewater treatment plants due to their high efficiency, lowenergy use, and green energy generation. Advantages and disadvantages of anaerobic processwere shown, and threemain characteristics of anaerobic bioreactor (AB), namely, inhomogeneous system, time instability, and space instabilitywere also discussed in thiswork. For high efficiency of wastewater treatment, the process parameters of anaerobic digestion, such as temperature, pH, Hydraulic retention time (HRT), Organic Loading Rate (OLR), and sludge retention time (SRT)were introduced to take into account the optimumconditions for living, growth, andmultiplication of bacteria. The inner components, which can improve SRT, and even enhance mass transfer, were also explained and have been divided into transverse inner components, longitudinal inner components, and biofilm-packing material. At last, the newly developed special inner components were discussed and found more efficient and productive.
