- Title
The Aerobic Granules Process for Wastewater Treatment: From Theory to Engineering.
- Authors

- Abstract
Aerobic granules are small, dense aggregates of microbial cells that form naturally in aerobic wastewater treatment systems. They are characterized by their spherical shape, strong structural integrity, and ability to rapidly settle. These granules are formed through a self-immobilization process where different microbial species coalesce to degrade organic and inorganic compounds in wastewater. This study summarizes the development of aerobic granulation technology in wastewater treatment and the mechanism of aerobic granules' formation, analyzes the characteristics and the factors affecting the aerobic granules' formation, and presents practical engineering examples of its application from pilot-scale to full-scale operation.
