Kurzfassung englisch:
In lab-scale experiments at the 2-stage activated sludge pilot plant of Vienna’s central wwtp it is shown that the wastewater soluble COD concentration that is inert to a sludge with SRT < 1 d (SIA) is about double compared to the SI concentration to sludge with SRT > 10 d (SIB). Unexpectedly the ratio of SIA/SIB is independent of the sludge age between SRT’s of 0,4 and 1,0 days. The difference between the two SI fractions is soluble COD that is readily biodegradable by the sludge with SRT > 10 d. However, it is degraded at a lower
maximum growth rate. These results comply with earlier results gained with different methods and at different wwtps. It is hypothesised that very low sludge ages result in a selection of fast growing bacteria, which can utilise only part of the SS in the raw
wastewater. The other part of SS therefore remains in the wastewater and can thus be utilised for enhanced denitrification in the second stage.
It is still unknown beyond which sludge age the soluble inert COD SIA starts to decrease, finally reaching the value SIB for low loaded systems (SRT > 5 days). From this point on SI and SS are assumed only to depend on the wastewater composition and not on the sludge
age. The assumption of the Activated Sludge Model No.1 that the biodegradable fractions can be modelled as a single substrate and a single removal kinetic (one Monod term) appears not to be applicable for low sludge ages. Some suggestions for mathematical
modelling, design and operation of 2-stage activated sludge systems are given.
