Q3.17. In a plant like the one on the right, wastewater first decomposes aerobically in large pools before moving to an anaerobic digester. Which of the following would be an advantage of the initial aerobic decomposition? O Aerobic decomposition breaks down the wastewater more quickly and more completely. O. Aerobic decomposition adds oxygen to the atmosphere, which improves air quality for nearby inhabitants. Aerobic decomposition needs less oxygen and thus requires less energy to aerate the wastewater. Aerobic decomposition produces more methane and other gases, which could be used to produce energy.
