1. Biological methods for wastewater treatment

In aerobic biological treatment, microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) break down organic pollutants in the presence of oxygen. This process is commonly used for wastewater treatment, as the bacteria consume organic matter, converting it into carbon dioxide, water, and other non-harmful substances. The microorganisms use oxygen to metabolize the organic waste, leading to the degradation of contaminants. Aerobic systems typically require an aeration process (supplying oxygen) to maintain the microbial activity. Common in municipal wastewater treatment plants where organic waste is treated.
