Abstract
Biological processes are demonstrating tremendous advancements among developing technology. Biological elements are employed as degraders in these processes, which eliminate contaminants from raw waste. Biotechnological approaches are utilised in environmental engineering for the treatment of wastewater, gas, and solid waste. Producing renewable energy sources like biogas and hydrogen is another potential application of these processes. Environmental engineers frequently use waste treatment systems such as biotrickling filters, composting units, anaerobic treatment, oxidation ponds, and activated sludge processes to reduce pollution. This chapter aimed at assessing several treatment methodologies and analysed the influence of biotechnology on waste management.
