Abstract

Anaerobic granular sludge technology is now perceived to be the most promising and favorable wastewater treatment process, as it fulfills the desired criteria for future technology in sustainable green development. Achieving an effective prevention and control of pollution requires an integrated management of emissions to air, water, and land, as well as the efficient use of energy and raw materials. This chapter explores the merits and limitations of anaerobic granulation. In comparison with aerobic processes, the chapter discusses the outstanding advantages of industrial wastewater treatment by anaerobic granular sludge systems. Energy production and assessment associated with anaerobic granulation are delineated in the perspective of the water-energy nexus. The chapter outlines the prospects of anaerobic granulation and anaerobic reactor systems integrating granular sludge for waste degradation. An emerging application of anaerobic granular systems is associated with certified emission reduction or carbon credit set under the Kyoto Protocol.
