Notes:
One of the difficulties encountered in the operation of an activated sludge process is the phenomenon of bulking sludge.In an activated sludge process which is composed of a completely mixed aeration tank and a sedimentation vessel, the dynamic behavior of the system can be analyzed using a mathematical model. The model developed here is based on the kinetics and settleability of the combination of floc-forming sludge and bulking sludge. The operating conditions that cause the bulking phenomenon are clarified on the phase plane. It is also shown that a type of nonlinear state feedback regulator makes the system stable.
