Aerobic treatment

Biological treatment in the presence of oxygen is a precipitated way of water pollutants removal that occurs in nature. This method is used to remove not only the biodegradable but also organic pollutants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which have strong negative influence on the environment.

Aerobic treatment converts the organic pollutants (COD, BOD) in wastewater into clean water, excess sludge and carbon dioxide. In spite of the operating costs (of sludge treatment and aeration) the aerobic wastewater treatment is an effective method with >99% pollution reduction.

Aerobic technologies can also be used for sewage pretreatment as well as for polishing treatment complementary to anaerobic processes. They allow for the complete removal of phosphorus and nitrogen.
