The control measures for deterioration of aerobic activated sludge were experimented. Wastewater samples with different pH, temperature, SVI, and MLSS were investigated to detect the cause of sludge deterioration. The results show that after being operated at high S2O3 2(which could lead to a pH decrease) loading in an A/O biological reactor treated for coking wastewater, though the pH was cont...

conclusions there is no statistically significant relationship between preterm delivery and type of sludge. results the prevalence of preterm delivery was 14/3%. the frequencies of term delivery in mothers with dense, light and no sludge were 78/6%, 82/1% and 96/4 % respectively, and for preterm delivery they were 21/4%, 17/9% and 3/6% respectively. but there was no statistically significant re...

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 ...

Raw wastewater sludge samples were collected from two sanitary point sources in Zakho city pipes. Anaerobic digestion is utilized stabilization as it was effective reducing the volume of and cheap source clean biogas. municipal district worth to be used for generation biogas just 15 -17 kg produced 233 350 m3 gas solid retention time 18 24 day respectively. Suspended close related amount COD th...

a bench scale aerobic sequencing batch reactor (sbr) was evaluated in terms of its potential to treat synthetic dairy wastewater. the 2-l plexiglass bioreactor was supplied with oxygen via a fine bubble air diffuser, fed with synthetic dairy wastewater under various operational conditions. to analyze the process, three significant independent variables — influent chemical oxygen demand (cod), m...

the properties of excess sludge wasted from two parallel pilot plants membrane bioreactor (mb-mbr and conventional mbr) have been monitored. sludge samples of mb-mbr and mbr have been examined and compared in terms of vss/tss, filtration index, eps and smp concentration, nitrogen and phosphorous in dry matter, fi, svi and polyelectrolyte requirement for sludge conditioning. by keeping similar o...

In this study, a new combined inorganic-organic flocculant (CIOF) of FeCl3 and membrane performance enhancer (MPE50) was prepared and added to an aerated submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR). The effects of CIOF on the performance of an aerated submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) were evaluated. The results indicated that the SMBR with CIOF addition could remove almost 100% total phosphate whi...
