What is 'aerobic digestion' 🧑‍🔧

In this article I would like to talk about “What is 'aerobic digestion'”. Let’s understand what it is and answer a few common questions.

A quick answer is…

Digestion of matter suspended or dissolved in waste by microorganisms under favorable conditions of oxygenation.

’Aerobic digestion’ is a microbial process which occurs with the availability of oxygen.

Organic material is oxidized under aerobic conditions, and products like nitrate, phosphate, and carbon dioxide are produced as a result.

’Aerobic digestion’ is a process in sewage treatment designed to reduce the volume of sewage sludge and make it suitable for subsequent use.

More recently, technology has been developed that allows the treatment and reduction of other organic waste, such as food, cardboard and horticultural waste.

It is a bacterial process occurring in the presence of oxygen.

Bacteria rapidly consume organic matter and convert it into carbon dioxide, water and a range of lower molecular weight organic compounds.

Do you know what makes people curious? Here are a few questions and answers:

'aerobic digestion'

What is anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment...

Anaerobic digestion is commonly used to treat sludges in the first areas of a wastewater treatment plant. This process is popular because it is able to stabilize the water with little biomass production. Anaerobic treatment occurs in many different stages.

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic digester...

In both aerobic and anaerobic systems the growing and reproducing microorganisms within them require a source of elemental oxygen to survive. In an anaerobic system there is an absence of gaseous oxygen. In an anaerobic digester, gaseous oxygen is prevented from entering the system through physical containment in sealed tanks.

Thanks for reading up to this point and I hope you have great day.
