AbstractUntil now there stilled exist different opinion about using bioaugmentation technique in wastewater treatment technology. In this study due to combined waste water (industrial + domestic) contain heavy metal and chlorinated Cl and C2 compounds which inhibit the biodegradation of activated sludge process, In order to solve this problem by using the liquid live microorganisms (LLMO) to enhanced the removal efficiency. In this study between the LLMO enhanced system and control system the MLSS were maintained at 2200 mg/l and 3000 mg /l respectively. The alternative aeration period were equaled to 3 hours. That has been found there were no significant difference in COD removal efficiency between the LLMO enhanced system and control system. But only that the control system's MLSS must be maintained at 3000 - 3500 mg/l to keep the same COD removal efficiency with the LLMO enhanced system were observed . In this study one can found that the removal of chlorinated Cl and C2 compounds and heavy metal the LLMO enhanced system and control system almost have the same removal efficiency were observed but the system with the LLMO could saved 50 % aeration energy and reduced the amounts of sludge production along with the process.
