SINGLE-TANK SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

摘要

The invention proposes a single-tank sewage treatment plant making it possible to combine activated sludge and bio-film biology. Here, some of the organisms needed for sewage purification are placed on breeding bodies. The bodies (4) have a specific weight of over 1.0 g/cm<3>, preferably 1.1 to 1.3 g/cm<3>. They are caused to eddy by the introduction of air (5). After sedimentation, the bodies form a precisely bounded biologically solid bed. Owing to the high sedimentation rate of the breeding bodies on which organisms are grown, it is possible, after the ventilation has been switched off, to convert the aerobic fluidised bed into an anoxic solid/fluid bed. The introduction of air (5) can also take place in the reactor so that regions with differing oxygen supplies can be formed. It is thus possible for aerobic processes with nitrification and anoxic processes with denitrification to take place alongside one another.
