Abstract

We have made a series of experiments on dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and sludge retention time (SRT) to affect the full-scale activated sludge process. For DO control, a better effluent water quality and a reduced current consumption have been achieved as compared with those in a constant air flow operation. The best control point for the DO control operation is at the outlet side of the aeration tank. For SRT control, effluent COD seems to fluctuate slightly, and is favorably stable when SRT is between 10 and 20 days. It takes about twice as many days as SRT value set up for the total mass of sludge in the process ( M) to be stabilized in case of making set value change as a result of simulation using mathematical models.
