Abstract

The capability of the activated sludge process to operate with sea water included in the influent substrate. Sea water was added at various percentages from 5-40. The study concluded that from a biological standpoint the activated sludge process could operate successfully. However, rapid settling problems because of a build up of total solids became the limiting factor.
