ASSESSMENT OF SOME ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES FOR THE EXAMINATION OF THE ENHANCED BIOLOGICAL PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL PROCESS
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Owing to the sophisticated character of modern biological wastewater treatment systems, the diagnosis of the mechanisms and interactions involved has become extremely difficult. Further difficulties in their scientific clarification can be generated by some of the analytical procedures used. The primary objective of the study reported on in this paper was to demonstrate that under certain conditions, e.g. during Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal, the commonly recommended analytical methods fail to produce reliable results. This holds primary for the examination of COD, assessment of Ca and Mg concentration variability, or procedures of collection and preparation of samples, where the results obtained may differ considerably, depending on the method used. These differences lead to incorrect assessments of, and conclusions on, efficiency, stoichiometry and kinetics of the EBPR process and thus blur the precision of assessing how different parameters affect the process.<br/><br/>
