Proposal of upgrading Isfahan north wastewater treatment plant: An adsorption/bio-oxidation process with emphasis on excess sludge reduction and nutrient removal
There is a rising challenge in managing the activated sludge process due to excess sludge disposal from the wastewater treatment plant and inadequate effluent quality due to the stricter standard of effluent quality. Hence, the incorporation of oxic-settling-anoxic process and ultrasonic waves in th...

There is a rising challenge in managing the activated sludge process due to excess sludge disposal from the wastewater treatment plant and inadequate effluent quality due to the stricter standard of effluent quality. Hence, the incorporation of oxic-settling-anoxic process and ultrasonic waves in the return sludge line was proposed to assess the excess sludge reduction and nutrient removal in the adsorption/bio-oxidation activated sludge process as a proposal upgrading. The results indicated that sludge production from adsorption/bio-oxidation process could be reduced using oxic-settling-anoxic and ultrasonic by 50% at each studied mixed liquor suspended solids level. Compared to the adsorption/bio-oxidation process, the total and soluble chemical oxygen demand removal efficiencies in adsorption/bio-oxidation process with oxic-settling-anoxic and ultrasonic slightly decreased suggesting a lysis phenomenon. During the operation of adsorption/bio-oxidation process with oxic-settling-anoxic and ultrasonic, the total Kjeldahl nitrogen removal efficiency improved in A and B stages, with 38.3 ± 8.1% and 83.1 ± 6.5% versus 36.8 ± 14.5% and 75.1 ± 7.3%, respectively.
