Cyclic Activated Sludge Technology - Recent Operating Experienc
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cyclic activated sludge technology was selected for the Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Plant (90,000 p.e.). The cyclic activated sludge facility comprises four modules integrated into two circular basins. Construction was commenced in February 1998 with seeding of the plant for start up taking place in October 1998. Process performance has been met since Spring 1999 at 80-90 percent of design load. In order to optimize start-up procedures, respiration rates were used as a guidance for process stabilization and online process optimization during normal operation. Operation for cocurrent nitrification denitirification provided an ammonia removal of 1.1 mg NH4-N/gMLSS.h (150C) and a corresponding nitrate respiration rate of 0.85 mg NO3-N/gMLSS.h under aerated conditions. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal generated an effluent mean total phosphorus concentration of 0.38 mg/L without precipitant addition.

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...
متن کاملEffect of operating parameters on the performance of wastewater treatment plant (Case study: The south of Tehran wastewater treatment)
Despite the fact that there are wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) currently operational across Iran and great advances have been made in this area, there are still problems in the design, construction, and operation of WWTPs with large nonlinear systems, varying flow rates, and pollution charges. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of operating parameters including the r...
متن کاملApplication of Response Surface Methodology and Artificial Neural Network for Analysis of p-chlorophenol Biosorption by Dried Activated Sludge
Phenolic compounds are considered as priority pollutants because of their high toxicity at low concentration. In the present study, the sorption of p-chlorophenol (p-CP) by dried activated sludge was investigated. Activated sludge was collected as slurry from the sludge return line of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Sorption experiments were carried out in batch mode. In order to invest...
متن کاملبررسی ارتباط افت فشار و ظرفیت حذف هیدروژن سولفاید با بار ورودی در بیوفیلتراسیون با بستر لجن فعال و مخلوط لجن فعال با سیلیکای شلتوک برنج
Abstract Background: In recent years researchers have shown that increasing in pressure drop and low amount of elimination capacity are two main limitations of biofiltration systems in pollutants treatment. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between pressure drop and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) elimination capacity with different mass loading rates in biof...
متن کاملCoupled Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR)/Activated Sludge Treatment of Synthetic Wastewater with High Concentration of Sulfate and COD
A synthetic wastewater with high concentration of sulfate and COD was treated in anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) coupled with an activated sludge. The work was accomplished in two phases. In the first phase, the concentration of sulfate was kept constant at 500mg/l, but COD concentration was increased from (3000mg/l to 6000mg/l), consequently, COD and sulfate removal in ABR reached to 80% and 9...
