Aerobic Digestion

What is Aerobic Digestion?

Aerobic digestion is a biological process in which microorganisms break down organic matter in the presence of oxygen. It is used to treat wastewater, reduce odors, and stabilize solid waste. The process typically involves four steps: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. During hydrolysis, complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones. In acidogenesis, the simpler molecules are further broken down into fatty acids and alcohols. During acetogenesis, fatty acids and alcohols are converted into acetic acid. Finally, in methanogenesis, acetic acid is converted into methane and carbon dioxide. The end product of the aerobic digestion process is a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, which can then be used as fuel.
