Activated Sludge 2019OPERATION AND CONTROL OF ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESSES USING MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Ljubljana 2019, JUNE 5TH -7THKONTROLA KVALITETE AKTIVNEGA BLATA NA ČISTILNIH NAPRAVAH Z UPORABO MIKROBIOLOŠKIH METOD
The activated sludge process is the most commonly used biological wastewater treatment process in the world. Activated sludge can biodegrade many organic pollutants, oxidize and remove reduced nitrogen compounds and promote the enhanced removal of phosphate from municipal and industrial wastewaters. Solid backgrounds in process engineering and microbiology are required for the diagnosis, control and resolution of common activated sludge process problems such as deterioration of settling properties, foam formation and loss of specialized organisms.
