Summary Of: Activated sludge

given to the active biological material produced by activated sludge plants and which affects all the purification processes... the activated sludge process can be used for one or several of the following purpose... The activated sludge process was discovered in 1913 in the UK by engineers conducting research for the Manchester... activated sludge extracted from the system and mixed with raw water to form the mixed liquor... excess activated sludge that is extracted from the system to be directed to sludge treatment... the general arrangement of an activated sludge process for removing carbonaceous pollution includes the following items... This compares with nitrifying activated sludge plants having a retention time of 8 hours... as good mixing as is normally achieved in activated sludge systems and therefore aerated basins do not achieve the same performance level as activated sludge...
