Notes:
Aerobic digestion of waste-activated sludge was carried out in lab-scale reactors for both batch and semicontinuous flow patterns. The reactors were monitored at three different temperatures: 10, 20, and 30°C. During the course of digestion, significant solubilization of volatile suspended solids was observed, and its effect on the magnitude of kinetic coefficients was examined. Differences in metabolic activity and sludge stabilization were found between batch and semicontinuous flow patterns. An Arrhenius-type relationship was not found to apply to rate constants for the semicontinuous reactors.
