Enhanced settling in activated sludge : design and operation considerations

Settling of activated sludge particles has long been the key to successfully achieving secondary treatment. While soluble products can be converted to particulate components via microbial reactions in the activated sludge process, it is the subsequent removal of these particulate components that is...

520 |a Settling of activated sludge particles has long been the key to successfully achieving secondary treatment. While soluble products can be converted to particulate components via microbial reactions in the activated sludge process, it is the subsequent removal of these particulate components that is the key to achieving ultimate water quality criteria. An understanding of the operating parameters for selecting good settling activated sludge particles was first documented in the 1970s and 1980s. An understanding of the growth pressures that can be imposed on filamentous organisms, and the impacts of selector zones in general, allowed the design and operation of activated sludge processes to routinely achieve good sludge settleability. More recently, research has identified what could be the next evolution in flocculant growth, with the growing interest in aerobic granular sludge. Aerobic granular sludge is purported to provide superior settling properties, and many of the growth pressures identified for aerobic granular sludge are also present in activated sludge systems. These enhanced settling sludge systems are gaining significant interest, but the factors leading to enhanced sludge settleability could be present in historical and existing systems. Three facilities were evaluated that exhibited enhanced settleability (i.e. sludge volume indices of less than 70 mL/g the majority of the time) to determine how these enhanced settling sludges compare to typical settling curves from the literature. The enhanced settling sludge facilities exhibit key differences related to surface overflow rate, return activated sludge (RAS) pumping requirements, and sensitivity to solids concentration that are critical for developing effective settling designs for enhanced settling sludge facilities. As more facilities aim to achieve enhanced settling sludge for intensification of infrastructure, it will be important to carefully consider historic settling curves and to develop site-specific settling criteria when possible
