Advantages of Anaerobic Decomposition
Anaerobic digestion significantly reduces the organic load and pollutant load of the digested sludge. It has many other advantages like:
- Economic Advantages: Additional income, autonomy in heat in a situation of rising fossil energy costs, Diversification of crop distribution channels, Reduction in manure purchases due to the valorisation of digested sludge
- Agricultural advantages: Transformation of the liquid manure and the manure into a fertilizer that is more easily assimilated by the plants, with a reduction in the smells and disease-causing chemicals, Organic waste processing at competitive pricing, Insect Elimination at the Storage Pit, Odour suppression.
- Environmental advantages: Anaerobic digestion produces biogas, which is a renewable energy source because it replaces fossil fuels, Nitrogen stripping reduces pollution, Sustainable management of organic waste
Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic Digestion takes place in the absence of oxygen by the microorganisms. It is a natural recycling process. These microbes feed on biodegradable materials such as food waste or manure, breaking them into simpler molecules. This breakdown produces gases such as methane, which can be used as a fuel source. In this article, we will learn about anaerobic digestion, its process, wastewater treatment, digesters, etc.
