Comparative study on anaerobic digestion
Anaerobic digestion is commonly used to extract sludge from primary and secondary treatment processes of a sewage treatment works (or water reclamation plant as it is now known in Singapore) in order to reduce sludge solids and ensure stabilisation. The anaerobic digestion process breaks down the or...
