What Does AFBR Stand For?

AFBR stands for Anaerobic Fluidized Bed Reactor

The Anaerobic Fluidized Bed Reactor (AFBR) is a type of bioreactor designed for the treatment of wastewater and organic waste through anaerobic digestion. In this system, microorganisms break down organic materials in the absence of oxygen, converting them into biogas and digestate. The fluidized bed promotes efficient mixing and enhances contact between the biomass and the substrate, improving the overall rate of degradation. AFBRs are known for their compact design, high solids retention, and ability to handle varying flow rates, making them effective for various industrial and environmental applications.
