Decentralized high-strength wastewater treatment using a compact aerobic baffled bioreactor.

Decentralized wastewater treatment is a potential solution to the economic and sustainability issues associated with current wastewater infrastructure requirements for rural and expanding urban settings. However, wastewater produced from small-scale operations (domestic, industrial, agricultural, defense, etc.) are often found to have higher pollution concentrations than municipal wastewater and is referred to as "blackwater" in the study.
