What effect will Archaea have on COD?
We are the only product that completely eliminates COD. The other technologies use a lot of oxygen that converts the COD to smaller molecules and then oxidizes them. Consequently, you end up with small, oxidized molecules. Archaea converts COD to water, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. The portion that goes to methane does not require oxygen; therefore less total oxygen is needed. There is no residual COD in any of the molecules.
