Enhanced Settling in Activated Sludge: Design and Operating Considerations

Modeling, instrumentation, automation, and optimization of water resource recovery facilities (Review of 2018 Literature) DIRECT

“…Three activated sludge facilities with rapidly settling biomass (sludge volume index of 70-80 mL/g) were evaluated by Daigger, Redmond, and Downing (2018), including fitting of the Vesilind equation to data from a stirred settleometer. The zone settling velocity correlations to MLSS for the three facilities were not similar enough to allow a general conclusion to be drawn on how to design and consistently grow rapidly settling flocculant biomass.…”
