title: Granulation in thermophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors.
abstract: The state of the art for thermophilic UASB reactors is discussed focusing on the start-up of UASB reactors, the influence of the waste water composition and temperature on the development and maintenance of thermophilic granules, and the microbial composition and structure of thermophilic granules.
