摘要 |
A biological wastewater treatment system is provided which is adaptable to small, shop fabricated package plants and large, assembled in place plants, and which can be operated as a secondary treatment, activated sludge process, for suspended solids and BOD removal, or a tertiary treatment, activated sludge process, for suspended solids, BOD, nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The system includes a wastewater pump and an air aspirator-mixer to provide aeration, sludge recirculation and waste, and wastewater recirculation for the secondary and tertiary treatment processes. The aeration system with the air aspirator-mixer transfers oxygen to the wastewater, and is located outside aeration tanks. The wastewater pump and air aspirator-mixer system lends itself to continuous and cyclic aeration and oxic and anoxic treatment processes. The multiple use of the wastewater pump for aeration, recirculation and sludge waste minimizes the number of pumping systems required and eliminates air blowers.
