Biosorption by activated sludge

This project proposes a contact tank prior to the aeration tank in conventional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for energy recovery purpose. The main function of the contact tank is to provide a suitable environment for rapid uptake of organic substrates by activated sludge. A physical sorption pr...
