Dear Experts
We have a big problem with non settlement sludge.
In the aeration tank:
SVI=2800,   MlSS=0.210 ,BODin=320    BODout=210   CODin=790
CODout=535     Q=8000m3/h     DO=0.8       SSin=150     SSout=200
The aeration tank have  just aerobic zone. Volume of aeration tank is 80000m3

Please advise me

Dear Batsukh,
Can you check on the values for SVI and MLSS? The ones quoted are not correct.

Best regards,
Cgillen

We need the units of measure for MLSSs (mg/L, g/L. g/m3, etc.) and SVI (mg/L, g/m3, etc.).

Hydraulic Retention Time is 10 hrs, and I assume that other measurements are mg/L.

My first action would be to raise the DO to greater than 2 mg/L. Then we would at least expect to see some improvement in BODout and SSout.

Do you have a final clarifier? What is the discharge parameters from the final clarifier? What is the SV30 from the aeration basin?
