Abstract |
Pilot plant studies were conducted on domestic wastewater to determine the feasibility of replacing or augmenting conventional activated sludge gravitational clarifiers by dynamic straining. This work was a continuation of the successful program accomplished under EPA report numbered PB-242 848. In the prior program, two dynamic strainers in series were employed. In this program, less expensive techniques for polishing the primary strainer effluent were investigated. Phase I covered pilot operations with the strainer in the aeration tank of an activated sludge plant producing a nitrified effluent. Phase II involved a non-nitrified effluent. In both phases, upflow and downflow sand filtration, settling, and flocculation-settling of the strainer effluent were investigated. Phase I flows were low but correlated well with the previous studies of strainer operating variables. Strainer effluent averaged 35 mg/l suspended solids with mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) of 6800 mg/l. The upflow and downflow sand filters, operating on strainer effluent, produced effluents of 8 and 3 mg/l suspended solids, respectively. Phase II, which called for high flows and high BOD loadings, was plagued with an intense growth of filamentous microorganisms, foaming, and development of a 'syrupy' mixed liquor. Proper strainer throughputs could not be maintained. Flow rates were not reproducible and did not correlate with prior work. |
