- This paper characterises the operational system of a low-cost high-rate anaerobic wastewater treatment technology originally developed and pioneered by one of the authors (Joseph Akunna), the GRABBR technology. Most of the applications of the technology have concentrated on treatment of high strength wastewaters. However, this paper investigates its application in low strength – high flow wastewater, such as domestic sewage, at ambient tropical temperatures. The findings indicate that the technology presents a cheaper and more environmentally friendly option in domestic waste treatment particularly in tropical and development countries.
