Abstract-An novel development in wastewater treatment technology, the pressured Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR) combines the principles of anaerobic digestion with pressured operation to improve treatment efficiency. In contrast to conventional anaerobic systems, PABRs function at higher pressures, which lengthens the biomass’s retention period and improves the breakdown of organic contaminants. The reactor is divided into several compartments by a series of baffle walls that are utilized by the PABR technology. Wastewater is subjected to a series of treatment procedures as it passes through various compartments, gradually lowering the amount of contaminants present. By increasing the solubility of gases like carbon dioxide and methane, pressurization raises the anaerobic digestion process’s general efficiency. This leads to increased production of biogas, which may be used as a sustainable energy source, and decreased
