Question

Biological processes for the treatment of industrial wastes for the safe disposal, can be categorized into aerobic as well anaerobic process.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Microorganisms already present in wastewater treatment feed on the complex substances in the wastewater, converting them into simpler substances, improving treatment. Biological wastewater treatment is the use of bacteria to degrade and decompose organic materials during treatment. The microbial community is the heart of any wastewater treatment facility. If the treatment system is having a problem, it’s critical to target and fix the root cause: A microbial community that isn’t performing well.

Due to their growth, adaptability, and resilience, wastewater treatment systems rely on microorganisms to degrade organic material and produce clear effluent water. By harnessing the ability of microorganisms to tackle the source of larger issues—degrading odor-causing compounds, for example—biological wastewater treatment offers major advantages over alternative treatment strategies:

Lower operating costs compared to alternatives. Efficient degradation and removal of organic and inorganic compounds. Improved flexibility to handle a wide range of wastewater characteristics and flows.

However, the key to any biological treatment system is ensuring that the existing microbial community has the right conditions to grow.
