Anaerobic treatment units as part of an on-site decentralised or semi-decentralised wastewater treatment system are an alternative to centralised wastewater treatment systems due to their energy and soil conditioner production capacity, low-tech components and adaptability. It is also an excellent technology for organic sludge treatment, collected from septic tanks, holding tanks, dry toilets, settlers or from aerobic wastewater treatment systems.
