The objective was to develop and evaluate, at full plant scale, the combined chemical-biological process of phosphorus removal. Alum proved to be a more effective precipitant than sodium aluminate in the moderately alkaline wastewater used. Total phosphorus concentration of the unfiltered effluent was dependent upon effluent suspended solids levels as well as on effluent soluble phosphorus concentrations. Removal of organic matter was improved as a result of chemical addition in the chemical-biological process. The chemical-biological process produced approximately twice as much weight of sludge as did the parallel control. Alum addition did not reduce the sludge volume index (SVI) of the mixed liquor whereas sodium aluminate addition resulted in significant decreases. Costs for chemical precipitation of phosphorus in the chemical-biological process are estimated.

Aerobic Granular Sludge has recently received growing attention by researchers and technology developers, worldwide. Laboratory studies and preliminary field tests led to the conclusion that granular activated sludge can be readily established and profitably used in activated sludge plants, provided 'correct' process conditions are chosen. But what makes process conditions 'correct'? And what makes granules different from activated sludge flocs? Answers to these question are offered in Aerobic Granular Sludge. Major topics covered in this book include: Reasons and mechanism of aerobic granule formation Structure of the microbial population of aerobic granules Role, composition and physical properties of EPS Diffuse limitation and microbial activity within granules Physio-chemical characteristics Operation and application of granule reactors Scale-up aspects of granular sludge reactors, and case studies Aerobic Granular Sludge provides up-to-date information about a rapidly emerging new technology of biological treatment.
