Advancing Wastewater Biological Treatment: Key Components

Biological treatment of wastewater is a very sensitive method in wastewater treatment and management. Through the natural occurring microorganisms to degrade organic pollutants, this technique will provide cleaner effluent and appropriate environmental sustainability. The technology of wastewater biological treatment has become very popular in the wastewater plant as well as an industrial wastewater plant because of its eco-friendliness and effectiveness.

This is usually through aerobic and anaerobic biological systems. In aerobic treatment, supplies of oxygen are introduced to stimulate bacteria growth that feed on organic matter. The anaerobic systems, on the other hand, operate under a non-oxygen environment and are common in high strength industrial wastewater. The two processes are both necessary in minimizing the reduction of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and other contaminants in the
