Discussion Report on Reactor Design of Anaerobic Filters and Sludge Bed Reactors

The discussion report of the session dedicated to reactor design is focused on sludge bed reactors and on upflow and downflow anaerobic filters. The reactor hydrodynamics and their relationship with process efficiency and stability are particularly discussed. The discussion ends with the formulation of some suggestions of design parameters for project engineers.
