The health of a treatment plant depends on the , which is the amount of incoming waste (food) relative to the amount of bacteria available to process it.
Thrive in oxygen-free environments, such as sludge digesters. They break down complex waste into biogas (methane), which can be harvested as an energy source. Wastewater Bacteria (Wastewater Microbiology)
Versatile organisms that can switch between aerobic and anaerobic survival depending on the environment. The "Food-to-Microorganism" (F/M) Balance The health of a treatment plant depends on
Require oxygen, which is often added mechanically in aeration tanks. They are highly efficient at breaking down organic pollutants into CO2cap C cap O sub 2 and water. Wastewater Bacteria (Wastewater Microbiology)
