AB Over the last 30–40 years, increasingly stringent environmental legislationrelating to freshwater conservation and pollution reduction has driventechnological development in the water sector. On the other hand, the risingconsideration of wastewater treatment as non-negligible greenhouse gas (GHG)sources, have become a highly important issue. This, along with variousgovernmental, institutional and organisational incentive, has encouraged problemholders to consider the application of more sophisticated technologies.Anaerobic wastewater treatment process is well over 100 years old. It is a naturalprocess in which a variety of different species from two entirely differentbiological kingdoms, the Bacteria and the Archaea, work together to convertorganic wastes through a variety of intermediates into methane gas, an excellentsource of energy. Apart from the significant reduction of organic matter content,pathogenic microorganisms are also eliminated. Additionally, the amount ofexcess sludge produced and nutrient requirements are far less than with aerobictreatment. However, although methane is a good renewable energy source, it isalso a powerful greenhouse gas, and special attention should be paid especially ifwastewater is treated at ambient temperatures.
