Distinguish between the roles of floes and anaerobic sludge digester in sewage treatment
Floes are masses of bacteria associated with fungal filaments to form mesh-like structures. These microbes digest a lot of organic matter, converting it into microbial biomass and releasing a lot of minerals. Anaerobic sludge digester is a large tank in which anaerobic microbes digest the anaerobic mass as well as aerobic microbes of sludge. Biogas is produced by methanogens. It is inflammable and a source of energy.
