| Abstract |
The purpose of the study was to operate and evaluate the performance of a completely mixed activated sludge unit system. Performance was to be evaluated by comparison to parameters established in the laboratory studies and by ease of operation and maintenance under field conditions. Conclusions reached were: (1) Organic loading of 0.2 gm COD/gm mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) or less will maximize waste strength reduction. (2) The clarifier can effectively retain solids in the system. Effectiveness of sedimentation depends upon maintenance of a flocculant sludge and MLSS concentrations not exceeding 6,000 mg/l. (3) The unit is generally maintenance free and easy to operate. Periodic measurements of settled volume provide adequate control of MLSS. (4) Foaming can become quite severe and affect the system by removing solids. |
