Abstract
In an effort to develop design criteria for biological treatment of low temperature domestic sewages, the Arctic Environmental Research Laboratory has designed and operated two parallel low temperature extended aeration units near Fairbanks, Alaska. The two units had exposed aeration basins utilizing submerged aerators and were differentiated by type of clarifier. One unit had conventional horizontal flow clarifier while the other had a modified upflow clarifier with tube settlers. The liquid temperature varied from 0C to 19C. In addition, 0.5 MGD subarctic, oxidation ditch and low temperature bench scale units were studied. Organic loading was the parameter most seriously affected by low temperatures. Other parameters investigated and reported were: (1) Aeration for oxygen transfer and mixing; (2) comparative clarifier performance; (3) nutrient and total coliform removals.
