Complete solids retention activated sludge process

While biological treatment offers great treatment performance with relatively low cost, it also entails significant sludge production due to the growth of bacteria and the accumulation of inactive sludge (influent inert solids and cell debris from dead

Particulate organics degradation and waste sludge minimization in complete solids retention activated sludge wastewater treatment plants

Activated sludge (AS) process has been widely applied for the treatment of wastewaters containing biodegradable substrates, such as organic compounds. It is based on the microbial utilization of biodegradable substrates that contain carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. The
