Activated Sludge Systems

Conventional sand- and two-layer filtration is frequently put into action for the purpose of advanced wastewater treatment after low-loaded activated sludge systems. However, the effectiveness of this conventional filter concerning the biological content which is difficult to degrade (measured by COD) is extremely low - and the costs too high. In direct comparison, modifying the filters to a biologically intensified system, brings about a substantial increase in efficiency while costing very little more. The investigations of the authors for the optimization of the whole system, consisting of an activated sludge process and a biologically intensified filter, led to the fact that for the requirements of advanced treatment, the size of the activated sludge stage can be substantially reduced, without the effectiveness of the system as a whole being affected. In the field of normal requirements (national effluent standards) and comparable low influx concentrations, biologically intensified filtration can be combined with a high-loaded activated sludge process of SLR up to 5 kg BOD5/(kg MLSS.d). The area required for the construction of the system is under 50% compared to the conventional one-stage activated sludge system. At higher influx concentrations the simultaneous addition of precipitants/flocculants to the high-loaded activated sludge stage, leads to substantial improvement of the effluent of the whole system and simultaneously to a distinct phosphorus elimination. This process modification is greatly advantageous, especially for densely populated lake areas. The oxygen supply system of the filter has a key function in connection with the influent concentration and the loading of the biological stage.

Activated Sludge Processes

In the activated sludge process, between the aeration tank and the final clarifier, offline microscreening is introduced to separate activated sludge and purified water. The intention is to reduce the drifting of activated sludge from the aeration tank into the final clarifier. Sludge drifting usually occurs during wet weather flow loading of the treatment facility and can cause higher concentrations of ammonia and suspended solids in the effluent. Laboratory and half-technical scale experiments demonstrate that microscreening is suitable for this application. It is expected that the operational stability of activated sludge processes could be improved significantly by this process modification.

Domestic Wastewater Treatment

Ariobimo building, now has a domestic wastewater treatment plant which is equipped with the system re-use. At first, the process of wastewater treatment technology using activated sludge process, while the system re-use of wastewater using a combination of chemical-physical processes, namely the process of coagulation-flocculation followed by sedimentation, filtration and adsorption last with. Because this process is not optimal, then this WWTP outlet and the quality of its water re-use can not meet the expected quality standards. After the improvement of the existing activated sludge process, the quality of this WWTP outlet can meet the quality standards of waste discharges. While the process of coagulation-flocculation is replaced with biofilter process using  honey comb tube media, the quality of the effluent can meet water quality standards. Keywords :Domestic wastewater,process modification,  water reused.

Generally, wastewater of nata de coco industry contains suspended solids and COD were high, ranging from 90,000 mg / l. The high level of of the wastewater pollutants, resulting in nata de coco industry can not be directly disposed of its wastewater into the environment agency. Appropriate technology required in order to process the waste water so that the treated water can meet the environmental quality standards that are allowed. Designing the waste water treatment plant that is suitable and efficient for treating industrial wastewater nata de coco is the activated sludge process. Wastewater treatment using activated sludge process of conventional (standard) generally consists of initial sedimentation, aeration and final sedimentation.Keywords : Activated Sludge, Design, IPAL

Nitrification And Denitrification

Hybrid Activated Sludge Process (HASP) with IMET was developed and applied to an activated sludge process for the advanced nutrient treatment in Korea. The characteristics of nitrogen removal from the HASP were investigated through a kinetic study by batch-type experiment. Online DB analysis produced from the IMET was conducted for the nutrient removal performance in the field demonstration plant treating 10,000 m3/day in G city of Korea. In this paper, we aimed to determine the effect of increasing NHM4+-N load on the specific nitrification rate (SNR) and the specific denitrification rate (SDNR) through a batch-type experiment, and to estimate the net reaction time for the phase-transfer rate using online DB analysis in the HASP operation. Experimental results include: (1) both the nitrification and denitrification followed first-order kinetics; (2) the maximum SNR and SDNR were 4.0301 mgN/gVSS·hr and 2.785 mgN/gVSS·hr, respectively; (3) comparison of reaction rates between nitrification and denitrification from the non-linear regression analysis found that nitrification rate was higher than denitrification.

Aerobic Sludge

Abstract Aerobic sludge from a municipal activated sludge treatment plant, sludge from a conventional municipal anaerobic digester, aerobic sludge from an activated sludge process of a petroleum refinery, and granular sludge from an upflow sludge blanket reactor (USBR) were tested in the deemulsification of a water-in-oil emulsion. All sludges except the last one, showed a good deemulsification capability and could he used for a partial deemulsification of such emulsions. The rate and degree of the deemulsifications increased with an increase in sludge concentrations. The deemulsifications were faster at 85°C and required smaller amounts of sludge than in the case of the deemulsifications at room temperature. An extended stirring (up to a certain limit) in the course of the dispersion of sludge emulsion helped the deemulsification. Too vigorous agitation had an adverse effect. The deemulsification effect of sludge became less visible with an increase in the dilution of emulsion which caused an increase in its spontaneous deemulsification.

Trickling Filter

Many of Egypt's cities have existing treatment plants under operation that have been constructed before 1970. Almost all of these treatment plants now need rehabilitation and upgrading to extend their services for a longer period. One of these plants is the Beni Suef City Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Beni Suef WWTP was constructed in 1956. It has primary treatment followed by secondary treatment employing intermediate rate trickling filters. The BOD, COD, and SS concentration levels are relatively high. They are approximately 800, 1100, and 600 mg/litre, respectively. The Beni Suef city required the determination of the level of work needed for the rehabilitation and upgrading of the existing 200 l/s plant and to extend its capacity to 440 l/s at year 2000 A description of the existing units, their deficiencies and operation problems, and the required rehabilitation are presented and discussed in this paper. Major problems facing the upgrading were the lack of space for expansion and the shortage of funds. It was, therefore, necessary to study several alternative solutions and methods of treatment. The choice of alternatives was from one of the following schemes: a) changing the filter medium, its mode of operation and increasing the number of units, b) changing the trickling filter to high rate and combining it with the activated sludge process, for operation by one of several possible combinations such as: trickling filter-solids contact, roughing filter-activated sludge, and trickling filter-activated sludge process, c) dividing the flow into two parts, the first part to be treated using the existing system and the second part to be treated by activated sludge process, and d) expanding the existing system by increasing the numbers of the different process units. The selection of the alternative was based on technical, operational and economic evaluations. The different alternatives were compared on the basis of system costs, shock load handling, treatment plant operation and predicted effluent quality. The flow schemes for the alternatives are presented. The methodology of selecting the best alternative is discussed. From the study it was concluded that the first alternative is the most reliable from the point of view of costs, handling shock load, and operation.
