Research paper thumbnail of Brief review on filamentous foaming and bulking in activated sludge treatments: Causes and mitigation actions

High amount of filamentous bacteria can affect the seattleability of the sludge and the whole biological process. Specific and non-specific strategies can be applied to control and eliminate bulking and foaming. Wrong actions, such as changing operative condition without knowing the real cause of bulking and foaming, should be avoided. In this technical report, the most common operating problems in activated sludge systems and their control strategies and methods are discussed

Research paper thumbnail of Monitoring and diagnosis of energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants. A state of the art and proposals for improvement

However, in the absence of fundamental and globally recognized approach evaluating wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) energy performance, these policies could be economically wasteful. This paper gives an overview of the literature of WWTP energy-use performance and of the state of the art methods for energy benchmarking. The literature review revealed three main benchmarking approaches: normalization, statistical techniques and programming techniques, and advantages and disadvantages were identified for each one. While these methods can be used for comparison, the diagnosis of the energy performance remains an unsolved issue. Besides, a large dataset of WWTP energy consumption data, together with the methods for synthesizing the information, are presented and ...
