Relation between substrate feeding pattern and development of filamentous bacteria in activated sludge processes: Part III. applications with industrial waste waters
Tóm tắt
Laboratory scale activated sludge systems were operated under regimes of continuous or intermittent feeding of the waste water. Industrial waste waters from breweries, a dairy plant and a petro-chemical plant were investigated. The systems were started up with sludge from a municipal waste water plant or more often with sludges obtained from the corresponding industrial waste water treatment plants. It was found that intermittently fed systems produced sludges with better settleability characteristics than systems that were continuously supplemented with waste water. Our previous hypothesis that in intermittent systems floc forming bacteria become dominant as a result of higher substrate uptake rates was confirmed and may thus be extended to waste waters containing readily available substrates such as carbohydrates (brewery-and dairy waste water) or acids (petro-chemical waste water). Supplementation of brewery waste water with urea had a negative influence on sludge settleability, especially in continuously operated systems.
