Title: The contact stabilization activated sludge process—oxygen utilization, sludge production and efficiency
Abstract: A kinetic model of the contact stabilization process has been developed and experimentally verified with the aid of bench-scale activated sludge units treating domestic sewage. The model provides information on the relationship between the design parameters (process loading, temperature, residence time distribution) and process performance (sludge, production, oxygen uptake, COD-removal, organic nitrogen conversion, nitrification and effluent suspended solids). An oxygen equivalence mass balance equation, which is applicable to all activated sludge process modifications is proposed and may be used in the design and operation of these processes.
