Final Settler Performance as a Bio-reactor in Activated Sludge Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pilot plant study showed that there is a relationship between the HRT in aeration tank and the % removal of soluble COD in the final settler if DO is not a limiting function. It was found that the % removal of soluble COD in final settler increased from 13 at HRT in aeration tank of 12 hours to 45 at HRT of 4 hours. Mathematical model was also presented in order to predict the soluble COD utilization in final settler.

Comparison of Sludge Wastage Control Strategies
In order to compare whether sludge age control by wastage from the biological reactor is more efficient than wastage from the final clarifier in wastewater treatment plants by activated sludge, the Benchmark Simulation Model 1 has been modified. The secondary settler has been made reactive and the sludge settling characteristics vary as a function of the amount of gas produced by denitrificatio...

UNITANK is a biological wastewater treatment process that combines the advantages of traditional activated sludge process and sequencing batch reactor, which is divided into Tank A, B and C. In this study, the sludge distribution and its impact on performance of UNITANK were carried out in Liede Wastewater Plant (WWTP) of Guangzhou, China. Results showed that there was a strong affiliation betw...
متن کاملModeling and Experimental Prediction of Wastewater Treatment Efficiency in Oil Refineries Using Activated Sludge Process
In this study, activated sludge process for wastewater treatment in a refinery was investigated. For such purpose, a laboratory scale rig was built. The effect of several parameters such as temperature, residence time, effect of Leca (filling-in percentage of the reactor by Leca) and UV radiation on COD removal efficiency were experimentally examined. Maximum COD removal efficiency was obtained...
متن کاملDynamic Performance Analysis and Simulation of a Full Scale Activated Sludge System Treating an Industrial Wastewater Using Artificial Neural Network
Due to changeable nature of the industrial wastewaters, proper operation of an industrial wastewater treatment plant is of prior importance in order to keep the process stability at the desired conditions. In this mean, simulation of the treatment system behavior using artificial neural network (ANN) can be an effective tool. This paper evaluates long term performance and process stability of ...
متن کاملModelling Aspects of Wastewater Treatment Processes
Wastewater treatment processes are inherently dynamic because of the large variations in the influent wastewater flow rate, concentration and composition. Moreover, these variations are to a large extent not possible to control. The adaptive behaviour of the involved microorganisms imposes further difficulties in terms of time-varying process parameters. Mathematical models and computer simulat...
