STUDIES WITH ANAEROBIC MIGRATING BLANKET REACTOR
Largus T. Angenent
A Novel anaerobic treatment system, the anaerobic
migrating blanket reactor (AMBR) US Patent No.
5,885,460 was developed.

• AMBR treatment of low-strength wastewater at
  low temperature
• Characterization of microbial community
  structure in a compartmentalized anaerobic
  reactor
• Effect of an organic shock load on the
  stability of AMBR
• The Formulation of Granules and
  Methanosueta-Fibers in AMBR

HIGH RATE ANAEROBIC DIGESTER For Converting
Animal/Farm Wastes into Fuel and Chemicals
Animal waste and biomass by products constitute a
large source of affordable and renewable energy
while also threat to air, water and soil quality.
Therefore methods for their efficient treatment
and safe disposal are in great demand. Improve
biomass utilization via advancing the fundamental
understanding of hydrodynamics, digester design
and configuration, and performance modeling
through development of advanced diagnostic
techniques (e.g., Dual source tomography,
Multiparticles Tracking, Etc.)
