Activated Sludge Process a Biological Treatment of Industrial Effluent / Sewage (presented by GTS PROJECTS)

 


Activated sludge process is a Biological Treatment Process to treat the Industrial effluent or sewage to remove the organic matters (BOD, COD, TSS) present using Bacterial Micro-Organisms and Oxygen (for respiration) by means of biological decomposition/degradation.

Activated Sludge is the mixture of Bacterial Microorganisms and suspended solids. The bacterial culture is cultivated in the treatment process to decompose the organic matters into carbon dioxide, water, and other inorganic compounds.

The typical activated sludge process has following basic components:

1) A Bio Reactor Tank in contain bacterial microorganisms are kept in suspended condition in contact with effluent water (which have to be treated), aerated (for respiration)

2) Clarifier tank (sedimentation tank) for solid- liquid separation

3) Sludge recirculation system for returning activated sludge settled at conical bottom of clarifier and sent back to the inlet of aeration tank for continuous inoculation.

There are many variants of activated sludge processes, including variations in the aeration method and the way the sludge is returned to the process.

Activated sludge process is an efficient process for removal of BOD, COD, TSS and nutrients.

Parameters to be monitored for successful daily operation.

SVI (Sludge Volume Index),

MCRT (Mean Cell Residence Time),

F/M (Food to Microorganism) ratio,

MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids)

MLVSS (Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solids)

DO (Dissolved oxygen), nitrogen, phosphate,

TSS (Total Suspended solids), BOD (Biochemical oxygen demand), and COD (Chemical oxygen demand).

RAS (Returning activated sludge flow rate back to aeration tank as continuous recirculation)

WAS (Wasting Excess activated sludge as given as blowdown/purging to sludge dewatering units in order to remove the decomposed/biodegraded solids)

Design Considerations of ASP

Volume of aeration tank, Cross section area of clarifier, quantity estimation of air (source of oxygen) to be passed in the aeration tank and required power consumption for the blowers/aerators, flowrate and discharge pressure/head of transfer pumps and sludge recirculation pumps, MLSS, MLVSS, SVI, MCRT and the characteristics/parameters (BOD, COD, TSS etc) of feed effluent and required reduction of treated/clarified overflow water and Post Disinfection and Filtration systems.

GTS PROJECTS’s Retrofitted Emission Control System for DG Set (Diesel generator)

Image
   Why GTS PROJECTS’s Retrofitted Emission Control Equipment (Wet Scrubber System for DG Set) Required? “The Emission including Particulate matters due to operation of Generators set has also been identified as one of the sources of air pollution in Tamilnadu. There is a plan for a national level target of 30% reduction of PM 2.5 and PM10 concentration in the Ambient Air under the National Clear Air Program(NCAP). To Achieve the same TN Govt have taken an initiative to reduce the emissions of Generator sets used by the people in Tamilnadu. TN Govt have requested all the people who are using generators using 125kVA and above to fix Retrofit Equipment or a device to reduce the emissions from the Diesel Generator sets. GTS PROJECTS’s Retrofitted Emission Control System for DG Set GTS PROJECTS’s Retrofitted Emission Control System  is the device to remove emissions from the Diesel Generator engine exhaust flue gas. Retrofits can be very effective at reducing emissio...
