This document provides recommendations for parameters to monitor in an activated sludge wastewater treatment system on both a weekly and daily basis. Key components to monitor include the primary clarifier, aeration tank, and clarifier/sedimentation tank. Parameters include flow rates, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), dissolved oxygen (DO), and sludge levels. The recommended monitoring frequencies and ranges are provided to help optimize system performance and ensure compliance.
