The Influence of Anaerobic Conditions on Activated Sludge

Czarnecki, Lyle Eric 09 1900 (has links)
<p> A study was made to determine the elimination rate of soluble organic and inorganic compounds during anaerobic storage. Using aerobic storage as a comparison, some insight could then be gained into the metabolic activities of a mixed culture.</p> <p> The rate of oxygen utilization following anaerobic storage appeared to be dependent on the level of aeration within the reactor prior to storage. There was no liberation of carbon to account for the increased oxygen uptake following storage. Although there was a slight decrease in the solids level, it was independent of the type of storage.</p> <p> The nitrate ion appeared to act as a hydrogen acceptor during anaerobic storage and, upon reaeration, the nitrate level tended to level off. There was a production of ammonia during both aerobic and anaerobic storage indicating a deamination of cellular material (loss of solids).</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
