Operational and control practices to improve the performance of small wastewater treatment plants in Catalonia

Observations during routine wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) controls in Catalonia suggest that in small Activated Sludge (AS) plants suspended solids separation problems could reach a special intensity. In order to evaluate their incidence, filamentous scums, clarifier floating solids, rising slu...

Zusammenfassung:Observations during routine wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) controls in Catalonia suggest that in small Activated Sludge (AS) plants suspended solids separation problems could reach a special intensity. In order to evaluate their incidence, filamentous scums, clarifier floating solids, rising sludge, deflocculation and bulking incidences occurring in 34 small WWTP were controlled for a year. To improve the efficiency of these plants, analyses of mainly suspended solids separation problems were systematically performed.
