Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Current wastewater treatment practices are dominated by aerobic treatment of wastewater, which requires substantial energy input. Anaerobic treatment has the potential to become a sustainable wastewater treatment process due to the lower energy requirements and its energy generation potential from the natural conversion of organics to methane. Recovered methane from the anaerobic wastewater treatment could be used to generate heat and power, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and electricity costs. No full-scale mainstream anaerobic wastewater treatment systems have been implemented and no comprehensive analyses have explored the scalability or adaptability of the process. Researchers at the Colorado School of Mines have explored coupled hybrid anaerobic reactors for the generation of energy (CHARGE) with the treatment of domestic wastewater at pilot scale. Data from two pilot-scale, multiple-compartment anaerobic reactors provide the basis for the development of a mobile treatment system and a computer based model for anaerobic combined primary and secondary treatment.
