Anaerobic Digestion Fundamentals
www.wef.orgAnaerobic digestion is a solids stabilization process commonly used at municipal and industrial water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). The primary objective of anaerobic digestion is to convert the microbiological cells and other solids generated during the treatment process to a stable end product.

sswm.infodigestion Unlike aerobic wastewater treatment systems, the loading rate of anaerobic reactors is not limited by the supply of a reagent, but by the processing capacity of the microorganisms. Therefore, it is important that a sufficiently large bacterial mass is retained in the reactor. For low rate systems the
Aerobic and Anaerobic Biodegradation - Polimernet
www.polimernet.comAerobic, unlike anaerobic digestion, does not produce the pungent gases. The aerobic process results in a more complete digestion of waste solids reducing buildup by more than 50% in most cases. The aerobic process also improves the environment of the workers and the animals and helps to keep pathogens in check.

Anaerobic lagoons are typically used for two major purposes: 1) Pretreatment of high strength industrial wastewaters. 2) Pretreatment of municipal wastewater to allow preliminary sedimentation of suspended solids as a pretreatment process. Anaerobic lagoons have been especially effective for

Use of concrete tanks may be preferable for larger sizes (Sloan, 1999). Extended aeration plants are usually started up using "seed sludge" from another sewage plant. It
