UASB / IC Anaerobic Reactor
High-rate anaerobic digestion converts organic pollutants into biogas, cutting sludge production and operating cost. UASB reactors use a single three-phase separator; IC reactors add a second stage for higher loading and better stability in a taller, compact footprint.

UASB configuration: water distribution system, three-phase separator, exhaust piping, outlet frame, manhole, ladder, platform with guardrail and water-seal tank. IC adds a second-stage three-phase separator. Pumps, piping and electrical are configured per project.

Contact Our Engineering TeamUASB and IC Anaerobic Reactors — High-Strength Wastewater
UASB and IC reactors treat high-strength organic wastewater by anaerobic digestion, converting organic pollutants into biogas while producing far less sludge than aerobic processes. They suit food, beverage, chemical, livestock and municipal sludge applications.
What is the difference between UASB and IC reactors?
UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) uses a single three-phase separator. IC (internal circulation) adds a second-stage three-phase separator for higher organic loading rates and better stability in a taller, more compact tower.
What wastewater is suitable?
High-strength biodegradable organic wastewater, typically with high COD, from food processing, beverage, chemical, livestock and similar industries.
Can biogas be recovered?
Yes. The anaerobic process produces biogas that can be recovered for energy use, reducing operating cost and greenhouse emissions.
What capacities are available?
Standard towers cover 5 to 60 t/d, with diameters from Φ2 m to Φ3 m and heights up to 13 m.
