Particle Size Distribution to the Final Effluent Quality - Based on Turbidity

Abstract:

This paper studies the particle size distribution (PSD) and final effluent quality in the activated sludge process. The PSD of final effluent and mixed liquor were determined, and it was found that the settlement in the process can remove particles between 100μm and 200μm easily, while difficult to remove the particles between 13.5μm to 65μm, which was in the supracolloidal (1-100μm) range and could cause problem at higher flows. The final effluent quality was measured by turbidity. The relationship of PSD-10 with turbidity, was analysed and the formed links were paired. Therefore, the PSD can be linked with final effluent quality and can be expected to use as an index to evaluate the final effluent quality future.
