Bioaugmentation removes toxic substances from conventional activated sludge
October 17th, 2004
A conventional activated sludge (CAS) system can be cleared of certain toxic substances through bioaugmentation. According to a study from the People's Republic of China, "For the removal of toxic and recalcitrant organic substances intermittently appearing in wastewater, bioaugmentation with bacteria having specific degradation ability could be a powerful tool to improve the treatment process. "2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) was chosen as the target recalcitrant substance and a 2,4-DCP degrading special mixed culture was used as bioaugmentation microorganisms. The feasibility and strategies to combine bioaugmentation into a CAS system in terms of...
