Abstract

Fellmongery effluent was successfully treated (± 85% OA reduction) in a laboratory scale completely mixed activated sludge (CMAS) reactor with sludge recycle and controlled wasting. Varying the sludge age was found to have a significant effect on effluent quality. A mathematical model useful in the design and operation of effluent treatment plants was used to describe microbial growth in the treatment process. In the development of the model it is shown how a clear distinction must be made between the volatile suspended solids and the active volatile suspended solids for the model to accurately describe microbial growth kinetics.
