Waste water treatment using activated sludge process

摘要

Process for controlling the retention time of the sludge undergoing clarification in a process for treating wastewater by activated sludge comprising a recirculation of the activated sludge from the clarification stage into the biological basins, characterized in that the rate of sludge recirculation (Qr) is varied so as to maintain a constant recirculated sludge concentration (Cr) while at the same time guaranteeing a retention time (RT) of the sludge undergoing clarification of less than a critical value (RTmax).
