Start-Up and Operation of Biological Waste Disposal Processes Under Non-Equilibrium Conditions.
Abstract
This study was performed to determine methods of waste water treatment that could maintain high effluent quality even during start-up and periods of transient conditions such as rapidly varying waste flows and characteristics. The study was confined to activated sludge systems, flow-through and solids-return. The method recommended is the use of coagulants and weighting agents. The effects of varying environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, flow and organic load were explored and the results showed both the flow-through systems and solids-return systems to be very resilient. Chlorination requirements of effluents from systems operating under non-equilibrium conditions were determined. (Author)
