A Review of Aerobic Technologies for the Treatment of Wastewater

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from Water Today !!!

We are working on the March 2020  issue and would like to invite you to contribute technical articles, case studies, research papers on “ A Review of Aerobic Technologies for the Treatment of Wastewater ” and facilitate a comprehensive perspective on the same. Please find below the theme note and do let us know if you could send us your article.

Treatment of sewage water from industries or domestic has become very crucial in present days. For concentrated industrial wastewater aerobic treatment is a substitute to the slower anaerobic treatment processes. Due to its low operation and maintenance costs, use of aerobic wastewater treatment as a reductive medium is getting increased attention. In addition, this is very easy-to-obtain, with well effectiveness and ability for degrading contaminants.

Aerobic wastewater treatment systems use oxygen-feeding bacteria, protozoa, and other specialty microbes to clean water as opposed to anaerobic systems that do not need oxygen. These systems optimize the naturally occurring process of microbial decomposition to break down industrial wastewater contaminants so they can be removed.

Depending on the chemical makeup of the wastewater in relation to the effluent requirements, a biological wastewater treatment system might be composed of several different processes and numerous types of microorganisms. They will also require specific operational procedures that will vary depending on the environment needed to keep biomass growth rates optimal for the specific microbial populations. Naturally occurring microorganisms are the workhorses of wastewater treatment. Secondary-treatment processes (found at municipal wastewater treatment plants) are highly engineered bioreactors. These bioreactors are designed to provide the microbes with the optimum conditions to assist in the renovation of domestic wastewater. With the mechanical addition of dissolved oxygen, aerobic and facultative microbes can rapidly oxidized soluble, bioavailable organic and nitrogenous compounds.

Overall, the objective of the March issue is to provide A Review of Aerobic Technologies for the Treatment of Wastewater to remove contaminants present, which represent the main pollutants in wastewater. The biochemical oxidation of soluble and colloidal organic compounds using aerobic microbial digestion, provide descriptions of various engineered systems that maintain high-rate digestion and provide an understanding of the operation and maintenance required to keep these system functional.

We would like to invite you to share your expertise in the form of articles, technical papers and case studies with our readers. Please inform us of your intent to contribute at the earliest, so that we can evaluate the articles for publication.

You can also send in details about new product launches and press releases for inclusion in the magazine to editor@watertoday.org.
