Performance Evaluation of Combined Process of Powdered Activated Carbon-Activated Sludge (PACT) in Textile Dye Removal

Introduction: The Powdered Activated Carbon Treatment (PACT) has been proposed as an alternative in wastewater treatment and wastewater biomass protection against toxic substances. This study aims to evaluate PACT performance in treating dyes, acid orange, and remazol brilliant reactive blue. Materials and Methods: This empirical- applied research was carried out in pilot scale in which differ...

The Microbiology of Activated Sludge Process

Nonlinear Observability of Activated Sludge Process Models

The main contribution of this paper is to present a non-linear observability analysis method of Activated Sludge Models (ASM), which are used in many control applications. The objective is to reduce the unobservable ASM1 model to an observable one that can be used to implement advanced estimation algorithms. Local observability is achieved under certain operating conditions but failed at some p...

Conditioning Process of Fresh Activated Sludge

The effect of polyelectrolytes; cationic and anionic charges and coagulants have been investigated for fresh activated sludge at different concentrations and pH values in a comparative fashion. The results from the experiments indicate that the cationic polyelectrolytes have a significant effluence on the sludge characteristic, degree of flocculation and water quality such as turbidity and SVI....

Software for Kinetic Process Simulation (RESEARCH NOTE)

The relationship between velocity of chemical reactions with activities or concentrations of their reactants, temperature and pressure and the mechanisms through which the reactions proceed are of interest to many scientists and engineers. The purpose of this article is to introduce a computer software that is developed for calculation, classification and collection of such data. The applicatio...
