The invention discloses a separated anaerobic baffled reactor (an ABR (anaerobic baffled reactor) for short), which comprises a reactor body, a plurality of upper baffle plates and a plurality of lower baffle plates, wherein the upper baffle plates are arranged at the top of the reactor body, the lower baffle plates are arranged at the bottom of the reactor body, the upper baffle plates and the lower baffle plates respectively adopt the vertical installation, two ends of the reactor body are respectively provided with a water inlet
pipe and a water outlet
pipe, the reactor body are sequentially divided into six separation chambers in the
water flow direction by the upper baffle plates and the lower baffle plates, and
acid production and
methane production are respectively carried out in different separation chambers so that the
acid production and the
methane production are physically separated. The separated anaerobic baffled reactor has the advantages that the structure is simple, the manufacture cost is low, the volume
utilization rate is high, the blockage is avoided, no special requirements on the
settling property of organisms exist, the
sludge yield is low, the rest
sludge quantity is small, the
sludge age is high, the sludge growth on the carrier body is not needed, the operation of the mud and water
separation process by a subsequent
settling pool is not needed, the hydraulic detention time is short, the operation in the intermittent mode can be realized, the hydraulic resistance is realized, the organic
impact load capability is high, and the reactor can be operated for a long time without sludge discharging. The invention also discloses a work method of the reactor.
