DESIGN OF UASB Given flow (Q) = 12m3/day  Depth of the reactor (assumed ) = 2m  Upflow velocity = 0.

5 m/s  Hydraulic retention time

 

= 4 hrs
 Area of the reactor (A) =
2

  

= 1m Shape of the reactor : Rectangular unit of net dimensions 1x1 m , free body to be provided can be 0.2 m Design of GLS  Inclination angle 450  Volume of the GLS = 5% of the total volume of the reactor  Effective volume of the reactor = area depth = 1m2 2.2 m = 2.2 m2  Volume of GLS = 5% 2.2 m3 =0.11 m3 (4 sides ) =0.44 m3 Depth to compensate volume of GLS
      

= 0.44 m3=
1 m2 Overall depth of the reactor

0.44m

= 2m + 0.2 m +0.4 m = 2.64 m
