उत्तर
Both biogas and sludge
Explanation:
The sewage is treated to destroy the germs and reduce the contaminants. In wastewater treatment, wastewater is passed through a sedimentation tank, in which organic materials settle down and are removed with a scraper. This is called sludge. In a separate tank, sludge is acted upon by anaerobic bacteria which produce methane, carbon dioxide and biogas by a process known as digestion. Therefore, both sludge and biogas are products of wastewater treatment.
