Difference between Anaerobic and Aerobic Reactors | Waste Treatment

Anaerobic reactors differ from aerobic reactors primarily because the former must be closed in order to exclude oxygen from the system, since this could interfere with anaerobic metabolism. A noticeable exception is constituted by anaerobic ponds and the bottom of facultative ponds, in which anaerobic conditions are established as a result of stratification and oxygen depletion in the lower part [...]

Sources of Wastes in Tannery Industry | Waste Management

Of the wet salted hide purchased by the tannery only 30-35% is potentially convertible into leather and of this amount, only some 30% is eventually converted into high quality leather with further 10% yielding lower grade material. The rest of the hide together with excess processing chemicals and the large volumes of water employed form the solid and liquid residues. [...]
