Notes:
The sequencing batch reactor is a specific fill-and-draw version of the activated-sludge process. In contrast to the continuous-flow alternative, metabolic reactions and solid-liquid separation are carried out in one tank and in a well-defined and continuously repeated time sequence.This paper reviews the historical development of sequencing batch reactor technology and describes the different modes of operation. Mass-balance equations are introduced to allow for a quantitative comparison of sequencing batch reactor and continuous-flow technologies and for the design of such systems. The initial design dynamic simulation and in-situ adjustment of the cycle program under the actual process conditions can be used conveniently to further optimize the sequencing batch reactor plant.
