aerobic digestion

Aerobic digestion is a biological process where microorganisms break down organic waste, like food scraps or sewage, using oxygen. These microorganisms consume the waste, transforming it into simpler substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and stable organic matter called compost or biosolids. This process reduces the volume of waste and neutralizes harmful pathogens, making the end product safe and useful as fertilizer or soil conditioner. It is commonly used in waste treatment facilities, benefiting the environment by recycling waste efficiently through natural biological activity.
