Presently anaerobic wastewater treatment is becoming an accepted simple technology for the treatment of a variety of wastewaters. Of the different treatment systems that have been developed the UASB process (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) has found the widest application. Almost all of the more than 60 full scale UASB reactors in operation now, are running satisfactorily. The excellent sludge retention generally found in UASB-reactors is obtained by sludge granulation, which can be seen as a sludge immobilization process. The presently available insight into the sludge granulation process is briefly presented, together with the strategy to be applied for performing a proper first start-up and secondary start-up of UASB reactors, viz. using granular seed sludge. The effect of the presence of SS with regard to the loading potentials of anaerobic treatment systems will be discussed. The experiences obtained with some full scale applications of the UASB-process are presented.

Very few methods have been developed with such speed as anaerobic wastewater treatment. Universities, Government agencies, private enterprise and scientists all over the world are using millions of dollars in studies, pilot and full scale experiments trying to find the most practical anaerobic treatment systems for various wastewaters. The follow-up alone of all the information published in this field would require an institute of its own. Commercial interests are driving private enterprise to fast development of full scale treatment plants. In this paper the reasons for this interest in anaerobic treatment are focused on in the light of the recent developments in knowledge of the quality and quantity of forest industry wastewaters. Future wastewater characteristics and the possibility of anaerobic treatment to meet future demands are discussed. The need for co-operation between forest industry process engineers and wastewater treatment specialists is emphasized in order to optimize internal and external pollution control methods.

The use of an automatic on-line titration unit for monitoring the effluent quality of wastewater plants is presented. Buffer capacity curves of different effluent types were studied and validation results are presented for both domestic and industrial full-scale wastewater treatment plants. Ammonium and ortho-phosphate monitoring of the effluent were established by using a simple titration device, connected to a data-interpretation unit. The use of this sensor as the activator of an effluent quality proportional sampler is discussed.
