Anaerobic wastewater treatment is a very effective way of removing biodegradable organic compounds (COD/BOD). Most of the mineralised compounds like NH 4-N +, PO4 3- S2- will be left in the solution (some of it will be needed for bacterial growth).
Why anaerobic?
- High return on investment
- Up to 90% savings on discharge costs
- Low operational costs and low maintenance
- Conversion of wastewater into renewable energy
- No sludge discharge costs
- Reduction of CO2 footprint
- Good possibilities for water reuse in factories (towards closed loops)
- Quick start up
- Economically appealing at COD loads starting from 300 kg per day
