Contents Notes |
A process (called UNOX) for treating municipal wastewater using high-purity oxygen in the activated sludge process was further evaluated at Batavia, New York in a full scale wastewater treatment plant. The present evaluation places emphasis on the production rate, filtration, and digestion characteristics of oxygenated waste activated sludge. Operation was conducted at two different system loadings over a period of three months. The filtering characteristics of waste activated sludge from an oxygenation system were investigated. Waste activated sludge was aerobically digested in 800-gallon batches using high-purity oxygen. The economics of oxygenation systems as compared with conventional diffused air aeration systems were revised from the cost estimates presented in initial work. |
