Environmental Biotechnology

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 10))

Abstract

Among the suspended-growth biological treatment processes covered in this chapter are conventional activated sludge, high rate activated sludge, pure oxygen activated sludge, contact stabilization, activated sludge with nitrification, separate stage nitrification, separate stage denitrification, extended aeration, oxidation ditch, Powdered Activated Carbon Treatment (PACT) process, carrier-activated sludge processes (CAPTOR and CAST systems), activated biofilter (ABF), vertical loop reactor (VLR), and phostrip process. This chapter describes the above processes and explains their practice, limitations, design criteria, performance, energy requirements, process equipment, performance, and costs.
