Sludge Treatment and Stabilization in Wastewater Plants
Sludge Treatment in Wastewater Plants
The sludge age (days) is decisive for designing activated sludge plants. It’s the average microorganism residence time in the bioreactor, calculated as the ratio of solids in the reactor to the daily excess sludge production. To avoid microorganism “leaking,” the sludge age must match the inverse of the bacterial growth rate, defined as the increase of microorganisms relative to the total daily microorganisms.
Sludge Types
- Primary Sludge: Consists mainly of minerals,
