by Erik Rumbaugh | Apr 3, 2025 | Anaerobic digester, Wastewater Troubleshooting

Sulfides are primarily produced through the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). These microorganisms use sulfate as an electron acceptor, generating hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) as a byproduct. While this process is natural, the accumulation of sulfides can have...
