Observation
Slow sludge settling, fluffy, sludge not compacting well.
Filamentous bulking, forming undulating blanket with supernatant.
SVI high, 600
Sludge Settling Curve Possible reasons: low F/M, septic sewage, low DO, O&G.
Reasons for this plants:
Unequal flow distribution - install rectangular weir at inlet
distribution
1000 Low F/M
Dead spot of low DO.
800 Potential solutions:
increase return, reduce wasting
improve mixing
600 kill filamentous colony - chlorination
improve settling - add flocculants
400 Seeding - add good F.
Add chemicals - Oxynols, Probacs, etc.
Recommended for trial:
200 Add chemical Probacs to improve F.
To develop dominant floc colony.
Increase F/M.
0 However, other cause such as low DO dead spot still prevails.
0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Increase RAS and reduce wasting concurrently(when
AT1-070409 adding chemical to retain longer in the system).
