3. Energy production and wastewater treatment with bacterial cells
3.1 Wastewater treatment plants: treatment and energy
There are over 21,000 wastewater treatment plants in France, a large proportion of which are equipped with a biological treatment process. This process breaks down the organic carbon and nitrogen matter dissolved in wastewater, using bacteria contained in the treatment tanks. During biological treatment, the wastewater is aerated to ensure aerobic respiration of the bacteria. In this way, bacteria use organic matter as electron donors...
