Dear Mahmud, biodegradable ...

Dear Mahmud, biodegradable pollutants? 

My first guess:
System A could be managed with anaerobic process, while process B with conventional activated sludge.
Temperature, Nitrogen (as TKN), layout availability limits at discharge (or reuse) are the main factors driving Your choice.
System A could be treated anaerobically then outflows sent to System B...in event of systems proximity.
Anaerobic process is stable and requires almost no energy and reduced footprint, while aerobic is more energy demanding and tanks/services demanding.
Should You need to design, just let me know, I will be glad to assist.
BR

PS it could be helpful to know the nature of the waste first.

Dear Tiziano 

first of all tank for your reply 

This is a symbolic question, and most of all, I mean, when the amount of organic load is one , does  the design process will be the same?

Dear Mahmud, my pleasure!.
I don't get it: "when the ​amount of ​organic load is ​one , does ​ the design ​process will be ​the same?" 
I would opt for AD in event of high COD and low flowrates simply because it's less layout consuming and high COD would result in bigger aeration tanks, more air, maybe higher HRT.
You may blend the two streams - unless advised against by the existing, more helpful segregation - injecting the concentrated stream into diluted to feed a conventional aerobic ETP. This is theory, since lot has to be known about contaminants, pollutants, inhibitory compounds etc. before we could choose and scale up a process.
