After a few colleagues asked for my assistance on the subject, I decided to write about "What is 'active sludge'". If you're still unsure, stick with me…
Did you know the short answer is…
A sludge rich in destructive bacteria used to break down raw sewage.
The activated sludge process is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa.
It uses air and microorganisms to biologically oxidize organic pollutants, producing a waste sludge containing the oxidized material.
These are questions that people still ask:
'active sludge'
How many methods are there for aeration in activated sludge process...
There are three methods for aeration in activated sludge process. Freedom from fly and odor nuisance high degree of treatmentWhat is the main constituent of sludge...
This material, which in healthy sludge is a brown floc, is largely composed of Saprotrophic bacteria but also has an important protozoan flora component mainly composed of amoebae, Spirotrichs, Peritrichs including Vorticellids and a range of other filter-feeding species. Other important constituents include motile and sedentary Rotifers.What is meant by active sludge...
Activated sludge refers to a flocculent culture of organisms developed in aeration tanks under controlled conditions, according to WEF. Activated sludge is typically brown in color. Activated sludge is also known as waste activated biosolids or waste activated solids.What are the different types of activated sludge plants...
There are a variety of types of activated sludge plants. These include: There are a wide range of types of package plants, often serving small communities or industrial plants that may use hybrid treatment processes often involving the use of aerobic sludge to treat the incoming sewage.I hope you found the information you were looking for.
