What Does ATAD Stand For?

ATAD stands for Auto Thermal Aerobic Digestion

ATAD, or Auto Thermal Aerobic Digestion, is an advanced biological process used for the treatment of organic waste materials. This method leverages aerobic microorganisms to decompose organic matter in an oxygen-rich environment while maintaining elevated temperatures through self-generated heat. ATAD effectively reduces waste volume, minimizes odor, and produces a stabilized end product that can be utilized as a soil amendment. This sustainable approach contributes to improved waste management practices and resource recovery.
