Some Effects Of Selected Biodegradable Detergents On The Aeration Of Water And Activated Sludge, Donald Ernest Modesitt
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this study was to determine what effects the presence of selected biodegradable detergents have on the aeration of water and the activated sludge process for aerobic wastewater treatment. The detergents studied were LAS #1, Alfol, and Nalkylene. It was of particular interest to determine if these detergents decreased the oxygen absorptive capacities of water and wastewater. If detrimental effects were produced by the detergents it was then desired to determine if these effects were serious enough to create problems with aerobic wastewater treatment and aeration in receiving bodies of water.
