Abstract A full-scale investigation was undertaken at Chicago's Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) to study whether the net sludge production from the WRP could be reduced by implementing a scheme developed by W. Torpey et al. (1984). In this process, sludge is withdrawn from a thermophilic digester operated in series with a mesophilic digester and partially recycled into the aeration tanks of the activated sludge system. The Hanover Park WRP, which has a design flow capacity of 45,420 million cu m per day (12 mgd), was split into a control section and an experimental section. The two sections were operated similarly except the thermophilic drawoff was recycled into the aeration tanks of the experimental section from a digester system consisting of mesophilic and thermophilic digesters operated in series. A reduction in net sludge production of about 10 percent was achieved at 40 percent recycle of thermophilic sludge into the aeration tanks at the Hanover Park WRP. This was a much smaller reduction than obtained by Torpey et al. Sludge dewatering properties were not improved. The recycling produced no adverse effects on quality of the treated wastewater.
