Making the most of your liquid treatment process requires getting the best performance out of your most important resource – your “bugs” (or Biomass)! When managing your bugs, you need to know the following:
- How much biomass (bugs) are there in the system?
- Where are they?
- How long are they here?
This eShowcase will discuss some of the most critical process control parameters, like SRT, Wasting (WAS), RAS, F/M, and SVI and what tools and tactics can be utilized to ensure your process remains stable and efficient. Specific tools include online monitoring for real-time insights and automated systems that can guide decision-making for best results. Understanding and using these tools and tactics can result in:
- Improved compliance – BOD, TSS, Ammonia, and Nutrients
- Decreased OPEX – Reduced energy and sludge disposal costs
- Stabilized Process – Year-round reliability and reduced stress
