In recent years, numerous designs have been developed for the high rate anaerobic treatment of wastewater (1-6). All these processes have their advantages and drawbacks, which have been discussed repeatedly (see, for instance, 7). Of these processes the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process is currently the most widely applied, at least in Western Europe. It is successfully applied in the treatment of wastewaters from maize and potato starch industries, and sugar beet and potato processing industries (8).Perhaps the main advantage of the UASB process is that no specific support material is required. However, this main advantage may sometimes be a serious drawback: the absence of support material necessitates the availability of a sludge with very good settling properties. Whenever such a sludge is obtained, or can be maintained, successful operation of the UASB process is readily achieved.
