Anaerobic Treatment Methods
Pressure from legislation on solid waste disposal in developed countries has increased the usage of anaerobic digestion. This process reduces waste volumes while generating valuable byproducts.
In anaerobic treatment processes, wastewater pollutants are turned into useful biogas or methane that can then return to the production cycle, be fired into a cogeneration system, or be sold to energy providers. These systems are an advanced method to speed up degradation processes for difficult effluents that may be too expensive to treat with aerobic technologies.
