Biological treatment of organic waste comprises two types: aerobic composting and anaerobic digestion, depending on the type of microorganism that converts the organic mass. Worldwide, composting is more frequently applied than digestion. Both processes replicate the natural degradation of biodegradable materials. The situation regarding biological treatment is significantly different between Europe and Asia in terms of substrates and technologies. The terms used for describing the biological treatment options are not always consistent between European and Asian professionals either.
The situation regarding biological treatment is significantly different between Europe and Asia regarding goals, substrates and technologies. Factors which have an impact on the establishment of a biological treatment technology were compiled and compared for European and Asian situations. Beside driving forces and the availability of suitable substrates, further impacts on the selection of a treatment system become discussed. They include treatment capacity, location and climate. Furthermore following case studies become presented: Decentralized composting in boxes in Cloppenburg-Stapelfeld, Germany; Decentralized composting in Dhaka, Bangladesh; Commercial large scale composting in India; Case study of vermicomposting in Thailand; Co-digestion facility, Gröden, Germany; Rayong waste to energy and fertilizer project, Rayong, Thailand.
