Abstract

In order to accurately evaluate the comprehensive operation efficiency of aerobic biological treatment system in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the process state aeration performance tester and the specific oxygen uptake rate online monitoring device were used to measure the oxygenation performance and the activated sludge performance in aeration tank, and the comprehensive operation efficiency of aerobic tank was evaluated by combining physical-chemical indexes and water quality analysis of the treatment system. The results showed that the oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) of aerators under process state are reduced by 13.07% and 14.48% respectively compared with that in clean water in the No.3-tank and No.6-tank, and the aeration uniformity index (IAU) is 4.86 and 1.46 respectively. The oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in the third corridor decreased significantly, but dissolved oxygen (DO) was a high level. Oxygen in supply (Qs) was much greater than oxygen in demand (Cs), which have resulted a large waste of energy consumption. Finally, the subsection regulation strategy was proposed based on the principle of oxygen balance. The results of this study will not only help the WWTP to achieve energy-saving and consumption-reducing, but also stable operation.
