Aerobic digestion is a biological process that breaks down organic matter in the presence of oxygen. This method is commonly used in waste treatment facilities to convert waste materials, such as food scraps and sewage, into useful byproducts like compost and biogas. The process involves microorganisms that consume the organic material, producing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. During aerobic digestion, the microorganisms thrive in oxygen-rich environments, which helps speed up the decomposition process. This technique is efficient for reducing waste volume and minimizing environmental impact, making it a popular choice for sustainable waste management practices in various industries.
