Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the current management and treatments of various high strength wastewaters. The main constituents of wastewaters are from domestic, food industry, tannery, textile, pharmaceutical, medical, mining, and distillery wastewaters. High-strength wastewaters are treated anaerobically, it provides a potential for energy generation. Though anaerobic systems offer an attractive solution for wastewater treatment, it requires substantial capital investment and is prone to process upsets. To overcome these challenges, a new integrated anaerobic-aerobic technology is being used. Therefore, advanced combined integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatments are discussed in this chapter for their potential as effective treatment alternatives. The factors affecting these hybrid systems are highlighted. Integrated anaerobic and aerobic systems have been developed to afford a cost effective and efficient treatment for high-strength wastewater. The present review will serve as a useful piece of information to those industries that face difficulties in treating their high-strength wastewaters.
