Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket in microalgae-based sewage treatment: co-digestion for improving biogas production

Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors are widely used to treat domestic sewage and frequently require post-treatment. Little is known about the use of high rate algal ponds (HRAP) for post-treating UASB reactors’ effluent. This study aimed to evaluate a UASB reactor followed by a HRAP in t...
