| Abstract | This thesis presents the activated sludge treatment process with the reaeration tank, called contact stabilization process. The efficiency of
this process depends on both wastewater characteristics and operation conditions.
Laboratory scale tests were conducted to observe the performance of contact tank in treating the suspended colloidal dairy wastewater. It was found that effluent efficiency was influenced by wastewater characteristics, loading and detention time. A laboratory scale study was conducted to find out the optimum working
conditions of the contact stabilization process. This process was necessary to limit the experimental study for the particular wastewater such as
dairy wastewater to be treated.
In the batch activated sludge process, more than 96% of the initial total soluble COD could be removed, whereas in the continuous flow with 6 h stabilization time the COD removal was as high as 95% for both the synthetic dairy waste and dairy waste. |
