Bulking Control With Ozonation In A Nutrient Removal Activated Sludge System, Johannes Van Leeuwen
Bulking Control With Ozonation In A Nutrient Removal Activated Sludge System, Johannes Van Leeuwen
Johannes van Leeuwen
The control of sludge bulking by ozonation was studied on four parallel pilot-scale (100 l/d) biological nutrient removal systems. Bulking was caused by filamentous organisms which typically occur in nutrient removal systems, i.e. Type 0092, Tpye 0041 and Microthrix parvicella. Continuous dosing of ozone, at 1; 2 and 4g O3/kg mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS).d resulted in a diluted sludge volume index of about 50 ml/g less than the unozonated control. Ozonation was more effective in the sludge cycle than directly into the aeration basin. Nitrification-denitrification was not affected, not even at dosages of 30 g O3/kg MLSS.d. Biological phosphate …
