Michael, I appreciate your comment "...reducing [organic sludge] volume is commendable and environmentally responsible..." What we have done for years now is to eliminate all aspects of any anaerobic activity. We never let any suspended solids over 5 to 10 Microns ever leave our aerobic digester; then in our "finishing process" we are well below 1 Micron to remove any parasites (including PFAS); adsorb or absorb all hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, etc.; and then using UV or Nano-Technology we remove all bacteria and viruses; to give us potable quality water effluent. Now by recycling purer water than most water utilities from our WWT, we can solve so many of our pressing water problems in our country and around the world: agriculture, droughts, replenishing our fresh water supplies, etc., etc., etc.
