Abstract
Abstract A general method based upon the Monod kinetic model for optimizing the two-stage sequential anaerobic-aerobic treatment system was established. Using this method, the total treatment time required for a fixed overall treatment efficiency for a CTMP effluent was minimized with respect to the substrate removal in the anaerobic stage, and the corresponding optimal reactor volume ratio between the two stages was determined. The effects of the principal operating conditions (concentration of microorganisms and initial substrate concentration) on the minimum total treatment time and the optimal reactor volume ratio required for the two-stage treatment of the CTMP effluent were demonstrated. Procedures in consideration of both BOD5 and RFA removals for optimizing the two-stage treatment of the CTMP effluent are presented.
