In the secondary treatment or biological treatment of sewage water, the primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks where it is constantly agitated mechanically and the air is pumped into it. This allows:
1. vigorous growth of useful aerobic microbes into flocs
2. the decrease in the number of aerobes in the water
3. rapid increase in the count of methanogens
4. a dramatic decrease in the anaerobic methanogens
