AEROBIC GRANULATION PROCESS FOR WASTE TREATMENT
The development of new processes and technologies like aerobic granulation has increased the interest in recent years to cope with disadvantages observed in conventional activated sludge process for wastewater treatment. Due to the increased interest in this topic, the fundamentals and applications of aerobic granulation have been compiled. The main factors affecting granulation, the biological processes involved, and the application of aerobic granules for nutrient removal at laboratory and pilot scale were delineated.
