Aerobic Digestion Wastewater Treatment Plants

This pilot was formulated to assess the effects of large volumes of Oxygen in a 100,000 Gal. Aerobic Digester and to evaluate its ability to reduce both hauling and energy costs. Specifically we were looking for Total Solids reduction and increased Supernate. Other compounds tested include: TSS (total suspended solids , TP (total phosphorous), VSS (volatile suspended solids), TKN (total nitrogen), BOD 5-day, Ammonia, Total Alkalinity, PH, and Fecal Coliform. It is worth noting that the 66,000 Gals. in containment had been fully decanted by the operator, and was ready to be hauled. Two base samples were taken, then a weekly analysis for the duration of the pilot. This digester was retrofitted with a 15HP Taeration System mounted in containment, on the catwalk.
