01. What is the primary operational advantage of the Microalgae-Bacteria Consortia (MBC) system over conventional activated sludge (CAS) systems?

A: They operate strictly in anaerobic conditions, eliminating the need for any air supply.

B: Microalgae generate oxygen through photooxygenation, which lowers the running cost of mechanical air circulation systems.

C: They require high doses of external chemical flocculants for efficient biomass separation.

D: They can only treat highly concentrated industrial wastewater, not domestic sewage.
