Zusammenfassung: | A continuous flow granular/flocculent sludge wastewater process selects for granule biomass capable of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and controls granule size and concentration of granular and flocculent sludge for optimal nutrient, organic, and solids removal in a smaller footprint. It includes anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic process zones, a high soluble biodegradable COD loaded first reactor in anaerobic or anoxic zones, a granular sludge classifier with recycle of underflow granular sludge to the first reactor, a secondary clarifier to settle flocculent sludge and particulates and recycle of flocculent sludge from the secondary clarifier underflow to an aerobic process zone. Wasting of sludge from the two separate recycle lines controls the bioprocess flocculent and granular sludge concentrations and SRTs. Bypass around and recycle flow to the classifier to maintain desired flow under various influent flow conditions aid control of granule size. On/off mixer operation of anaerobic and anoxic reactors may be used. |
