Abstract | Organic constituents in aqueous process effluent from various industries often have properties not readily treatable by conventional biological processes. These properties include high COD/BOD ratios, low nutrient content, biocidal content, marginally degradable constituents, and a tendency toward highly variant concentrations (shock loading). For this reason, research was conducted to identify, characterize, and compare types of biological treatment processes and operational methods that successfully handle problematic organic industrial waste. The objectives of the technology comparison are to identify the most robust biological treatment techniques (applicable to the broadest range of waste classes) and to describe those treatment characteristics that specifically enhance biodegradation of organic waste. Design, performance, and economic comparisons of the studied biological treatment technologies are presented to assist waste managers and engineers in the selection of proper treatment methods. The treatment techniques studied were activated sludge, series lagoons, deep shaft aeration, and pure oxygen biological systems. |
