The GUNT Anaerobic Water Treatment Unit demonstrates biological anaerobic water treatment through two main units: a stirring tank with secondary clarifier and a UASB reactor. Both units can be used separately or combined for single or dual stage operation.
Product Features
- Stirring tank with secondary clarifier for acidification and biomass separation
- UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor for final anaerobic degradation and biogas production
- Dual stage operation: raw water pumped into stirring tank then to UASB reactor
- Microorganisms convert long-chain organics to short-chain compounds and then to biogas (methane and CO₂)
- Gas separation system at UASB reactor top for external discharge or collection
- Treated water collected after exiting UASB reactor
- Flow velocity in UASB reactor adjustable via treated water recirculation
- Temperature control in stirring tank and UASB reactor
- pH measurement in stirring tank and pH control in UASB reactor
- Software and webcam provided for data acquisition and visual inspection
- Requires anaerobic biomass and analytical equipment for experiments
- Recommended analytical parameters: chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen, phosphorus
Benefits
- Enables detailed study of anaerobic wastewater treatment in single and dual stage modes
- Demonstrates conversion of organic matter to biogas with practical control features
- Offers flexible operation with precise measurement and control
- Suitable for environmental engineering education and research
