INNOVATIVE SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR SOLUTIONS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Sequential Biological Reactors (SBR) are widely used for wastewater treatment, which is becoming increasingly contaminated with new and more complex substances. Therefore, it is beneficial to include various configurations and operational modifications in order to purify wastewater more effectively. The paper presents a basic description of the SBR process and its modifications, which lead to better removal of the resulting contaminants. The Cyclic Activated Sludge System (CASS) was characterized as one of the most popular sequential reactor (SBR) processes used for the treatment of municipal wastewater and sewage emissions from a variety of industries, including refineries and petrochemicals. Another example presented in this paper is the Unitank biological wastewater treatment system, which combines the advantages of a traditional process with activated sludge and an SBR reactor. The last example of SBR technology modification, presented in the article, is ICEAS (Intermediate Cycle Extended Aeration System) process, which processes continuous sewage inflow. The variable inlet is supported by a distribution box which distributes the flow evenly over all the tanks in order to avoid overloading a single tank. In each case, the benefits of using a given modification are presented.
