The Biological Sludge Reduction by anaerobic/aerobic cycling
An activated sludge system that incorporates a sidestream anaerobic bioreactor, called the Cannibal process, was the focus of this study. A prior study of this process (Novak et al., 2007) found that this system generated about 60% less solids than conventional activated sludge without any negative …

The effect of mean cell residence time on the dewatering characteristics of a biological sludge
… time (MCRT) had on the dewaterability of biological sludges was examined in this study. Aeration basin sludge and waste activated sludge from a full scale domestic wastewater treatment facility, in addition to sludges produced from two laboratory scale reactors fed with a synthetic …

The role of bound water content in defining sludge dewatering characteristics
Several available methods of measuring sludge bound water content in the laboratory were examined. The effect of polymer conditioning on the bound water content of biological sludge samples was measured using the dilatometric method. The effects of mechanical dewatering on the bound water content …

Effects of Anaerobic and Aerobic Digestion at Mesophilic and Thermophilic Temperatures on the Quantity of Carbapenem Resistance Genes in Wastewater Sludge
… carbapenem resistance genes (CRGs) accumulate in sludge during wastewater treatment. Anaerobic and aerobic digestions are commonly used for sludge treatment. Due to the public health relevance of the land application of digested sludge, this research aimed to investigate the effects of the …

The role of biopolymers in thickening and dewatering of activated sludge
… exocellular materials (biopolymer) produced in biological waste treatment systems and examine the relationship between biopolymer and sludge settling and dewatering properties. The biopolymer that interfered with sludge filtration was a high molecular weight (>10⁵) anionic biocolloid composed …

Aerobic digestion of waste activated sludge from biological nutrient removal activated sludge systems
Waste activated sludge (WAS) is a biological sludge that contains biodegradable and non-biodegradable volatile suspended solids (VSS) and non-volatile inorgainic suspended solids (ISS). Stabilization for safe disposal of the WAS is a process of paramount importance at wastewater treatment plants …

Impact of polymer type, dosage, and mixing regime and sludge type on sludge floc properties
This research investigated the impact of sludge type, polymer type (percent mole charge), dosage, mixing rate, and solution ionic strength on bound water content of sludge flocs. Data determined to evaluate the extent of dewatering included: percent dry solids, bulk density, bound water content …

Effect of Process Intensification Techniques on Biosolids Management
… impact of process intensification practices on sludge dewatering performance. The integration of high-rate activated sludge process and anaerobic digestion elevated the sludge orthophosphate level, leading to struvite scaling and dewaterability deterioration. Superior orthophosphate removal, …

Estudio comparativo de diferentes tecnologías de higienizacion de lodos de depuradora con fines para su reutilización
… In this research we worked with three digesters, sludge with a volume of 130 L and the actual volume of treatment of 100 L, of which two reactors working under mesophilic conditions (35 º C), and the third digester under thermophilic conditions (55 ° C), the three were fed with biological sludge …
