Aerobic granulation technology for wastewater treatment has been widely exploited in recent years. Currently, research on aerobic granulation is been intensively conducted in universities, institutes, private or public interest research organisations world-wide. This book provides the latest research outcomes on the fundamentals and applications of this technology for biological nutrient removal from wastewater. The book offers researchers and practitioners in wastewater treatment engineering up-to-date knowledge and understanding of this novel nutrient removal biotechnology.
