β¦ Synopsis
Bench-scale laboratory studies were conducted to examine the bacterial populations in the activated sludge process under different operating conditions and to determine the effects of bioaugmentation with liquid milied culture bacteria on the bacterial populations and the process efficiency. Results indicate that bacterial populations were not related to the mixed liquor vola,tile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentrations. The organic removal rates were related to the logarithm of the bacterial Concentrations in the mixed liquor. A very reliable kinetic model for organic removal was developed based on heterotrophic bacterial concentrations. Bioaugmentation iniproved organic removal rate coefficients, but resulted in higher organic residual in the efflucnt.

ATP measured by the luciferin-luciferase bioluminescence assay was used to examine the effect of toxic substances on whole microbial communities in activated sludge mixed liquor samples. The response of the microorganisms to toxicants is rapid using ATP reduction as the criterion. The sensitivity of
## Abstract The activated sludge process is a core technology in wastewater treatment plants. Excess sludge produced in the process must be treated and disposed of properly and may account for up to 60% of total plant operating cost. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new biological concepts to
## Abstract Nitrogen removal from wastewater is often limited by the availability of reducing power to perform denitrification, especially when treating wastewaters with a low carbon:nitrogen ratio. In the increasingly popular sequencing batch reactor (SBR), bacteria have the opportunity to preserv
## Abstract An autotrophic denitrification process using reduced sulfur compounds (thiosulfate and sulfide) as electron donor in an activated sludge system is proposed as an efficient and cost effective alternative to conventional heterotrophic denitrification for inorganic (or with low C/N ratio)
