After anaerobic treatment, the UF membrane unit separates the clean permeate from the biomass.
If required, several polishing techniques are available to further treat the suspended solids free effluent for reuse or recovery of nutrients, while the low COD permeate is often clean enough for direct discharge to sewer.
Biomass is returned to the bioreactor, while a small amount of biomass is removed from the system and discharged after dewatering.

Conclusion
Treatment of source separated streams is essential One or more anaerobic reactors: modular Memthane High loaded aerobic + low loaded aerobic polishing Only small remaining stream would be incinerated Enormous saving in operation cost

Conclusions
Conclusion
Anaerobic treatment is well established in chemical industry
Aerobic treatment can also have problems; next to high Capex en Opex
