Lodomat is an innovative wastewater treatment technology developed at the University of Queensland, utilizing anaerobic digestion and free nitrous acid. It enhances volatile solids destruction, boosts biogas production, improves sludge dewaterability, and aids in nitrogen removal. Its components—AD, NP, NIT, and MD—work together to minimize biosolids disposal and recover energy as methane or biogas. Applications include sustainable sludge management and energy recovery in wastewater treatment facilities. This technology represents a significant advancement in environmental engineering.
