Excess Sludge Reduction During Activated Sludge Municipal Wastewater Treatment by Integrating an Anoxic Holding Tank and Post-ultrasound Treatment to Enhance Biomass Maintenance Metabolism

HT biomass sonicated at ES inputs < 56KJ/gTS decreased floc size by 41% and enhanced its metabolic activity by 50-250% compared to control. ES inputs >118 KJ/gTS caused HT biomass solubilization and irreversible loss of its metabolic activity and reflocculation ability. During continuous activ...
