The anaerobic clarigester is a form of
anaerobic digester. It is regarded as being the ancestor of the
upflow anaerobic sludge blanket digestion (UASB) anaerobic digester. A clarigester treats dilute biodegradable feedstocks and separates out solid and hydraulic (liquid) retention times. A diagram comparing the UASB, anaerobic clarigester and
anaerobic contact processes can be found on the FAO website.
