Biological Treatment
• In the case of domestic wastewater treatment, the
objective of biological treatment is:
– To stabilize the organic content
– To remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus

Activated Sludge Process
• The aeration tank contains a suspension of the wastewater and
microorganisms, the mixed liquor. The liquor is mixed by aeration
devices (supplying also oxygen)
• A portion of the biological sludge separated from the secondary
effluent by sedimentation is recycled to the aeration tank
• Types of AS Systems: Conventional, Complete-Mix, Sequencing
Batch Reactor, Extended Aeration, Deep Tank, Deep Shaft
Rotating Biological Contactors
• It consists of a series of circular disks of polystyrene or
polyvinyl chloride that are submerged in wastewater and
rotated slowly through it
• The disk rotation alternately contacts the biomass with the
organic material and then with atmosphere for adsorption of
oxygen
• Excess solids are removed by shearing forces created by the
rotation mechanism
Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket
• Wastewater flows upward
through a sludge blanket
composed of biological
granules that decompose
organic matter
• Some of the generated
gas attaches to granules
that rise and strike
degassing baffles
releasing the gas
• Free gas is collected by
special domes
• The effluent passes into a
settling chamber
