This study demonstrates the successful implementation of a UASB (Anaerobic upflow sludge blanket) as a pre-treatment for black- and domestic wastewaters at pilot (400L) and full scale. Organic pollutants were removed quite efficiently due to biological and physical processes (sedimentation and microbial degradation), facilitating a natural post- treatment (waste stabilization ponds).
