Up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process was one of the most widely used technology forsewage treatment in developing countries particularly in India. The reason for its wide publicity and implementation isits zero energy requirements and production of biogas as a valuable energy ‘resource’. Despite their popularity, past onedecade has witnessed decline in the UASB implementation. There has been criticism from various sections on theperformance of UASB Reactors. The main focus of present study was to assess performance of these sewage treatmentplants based on UASB + facultative pond technology. The performance of 40 MLD STPs at Karnal city was evaluated.Wastewater samples were analysed for pH, BOD, COD, TSS at inlet or raw sewage, at outlet of UASB reactor and outletof facultative ponds unit and from which it is ready for final discharge. The results indicated consistently goodperformance. The treated effluents from all the three plants meet the discharge standards with reference to compulsoryparameters pH, BOD, COD and TSS. Treated effluent is finally agriculture purposes and it meets guideline for reuse.Sludge generated is sold to farmers, which are used as fertilizers.
