The activated-sludge process is a
biological method of wastewater treat-ment that is performed by a variable and mixed community of microorganis-ms in an aerobic aquatic environment.
Purpose: to remove settleable organics and floating scum (gr
History and Development of the Activated Sludge Process
- The activated sludge process presently represents the most widespread technology for wastewater purification.
- The invention of the activated sludge process is connected with the efforts of British and American engineers at the end of the last century to intensify biological purification in fixed-film systems.

Activated sludge is a term used both to refer to a widely utilized wastewater treatment process, and to the solid com-pounds which result from that process.
The activated sludge technique is one of the most commonly used methods for handling human waste in municipal settings around the world, and it can also be employed in the treatment of industrial wastewater.

this, we can know that axial impeller is not suitable. Also, because of wide width of tank, it has poor mixing.
Second, there is a problem with chemicals. PAC is injected with Cl2, so activation of Cl2 must be restricted.
Also, using alum may cause settling.
Alum lowered pH in localized area. To overcome this problem, we need more alkali materials and it means lots of cost.
