Effect of Feed Rate and Solid Retention Time (SRT) on Effluent Quality and Sludge Characteristics in Activated Sludge Systems Using Sequencing Batch Reactors

A critical element to the successful operation of activated sludge systems is efficient solid liquid separation achieved by bioflocculation. Bioflocculation refers to the process of microbial aggregation to form activated sludge flocs, dependent on the interaction of exocellular polymeric substances...
