- Anaerobic Digestion. Although records in Western literature only date back to the seventeenth century AD (Abbasi, Tauseef, & Abbasi, 2012), the production and use of biogas can be traced back to the ancient Assyrians in the Tenth Century BC with the digesCo-digestion. With ongoing improvements in efficiencies of sludge-to-energy conversion processes in WWTPs, energy self-sufficiency can be achieved and maintained purely by digesting sewage. An example of this is the Strass WWTP in Austria, which achieved; Liquid Biofuel; Agricultural Use; Blended and Heat-Treated Products; Nutrient Recovery.
