aerobic treatment

Aerobic treatment refers to a process that uses oxygen to break down organic matter in wastewater or sludge. In this method, aerobic microorganisms, such as bacteria, consume the organic pollutants, converting them into simpler substances and less harmful byproducts. This process is commonly used in wastewater treatment plants to purify water before it’s released back into the environment. The presence of oxygen is crucial as it supports the growth of these microorganisms, enhancing their ability to digest waste efficiently and thereby improving water quality.
