Anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewaters
The latest advances in anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewaters are described in this book. The technology of anaerobic digestion has developed significantly in recent years. It has gained increased credibility from successful applications in industry as well as other sectors. Anaerobic biological waste treatment offers advantages over aerobic systems in terms of lower energy requirements, less biological sludge production, and the potential for energy recovery in the form of methane gas. The development of innovative reactor designs, based on the optimization of growth and retention of aerobic microorganisms, has created an impetus to reevaluate the anaerobic treatability of many industrial waste streams. The most recent and significant advances in anaerobic digestion are related to the technology's ability to accommodate relatively high rates of organic loading. Companies are also interested in using anaerobic digestion for the biodestruction of organic materials that are not removed in conventional aerobic treatment.
