Wastewater treatment The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment. As solid material decays, it uses up oxygen, which is needed by the plants and animals living in the water.
The amount of the energy which are produced by the component during the oxidation process are measured in the number of the ATP molecules, which successively generated energy. As, the palmitic acid are generated most of its energy when it is oxidized it generated 131 ATP molecules approximately. Palmitic acid are saturated fatty acids.
