Oxygen intensification to enhance sludge decantability
More Intensification of oxygenation at the beginning of the high load process with a high reaction rate. Flocculant bacteria assimilates the maximum amount of the organic matter, suppressing any source of food to filamentous bacteria.
Effluent quality
Avoid turbidity due to filamentous bacteria and reduce solids and organic matter in the treated water.
Decantability
Improve the operation of the secondary clarifier by increasing settling velocity.
Floculation
Increase biomass health to form strong flocs.
The factors contributing to the filamentous mud are associated with the characteristics of the wastewater, the design of the plant or other aspects related to the operation: extreme low or high feed ratio (F/M), low levels of dissolved oxygen, nutrients insufficiency or large load oscillations.
