外文翻译 Activated Sludge System with High Effluent Quality and Minimal Sludge Production. Mikkel Mandt* and Howard Rundle*Fluidyne Corporation, 2816 West First St., Cedar Falls, Iowa IA 50613 USA ABSTRACT The paper describes the ISAM? process of activated sludge treatment. This is a version of the activated sludge process which has been developed in the USA and is capable of producing tertiary quality effluents with minimal sludge production. The system is particularly suited to small works as a package plant. The system is based on a sequencing batch reactor with fixed decanter and jet aeration. By the use of anaerobic and anoxic zones a very stable and efficient system is achieved. Sludge is broken down both aerobically and anaerobically. Case studies from three operating plants are presented. INTRODUCTION A major problem with activated sludge plant operation is disposal of the waste activated sludge generated in the process. This sludge is low in solids content, (0.5% to 1%), is difficult to thicken, and may become malodorous if not aerated. Options to reduce sludge production usually involve reducing the sludge loading so that solids are burned off by aerobic digestion. This results in a large plant size and incurs high energy costs for aeration. In addition the low F: M ratio may result in a poor-settling sludge, with consequent loss of solids in the effluent. Particular difficulties have occurred with package activated sludge plants, some claims by manufacturers of low desludging frequencies have proved to be over optimistic.(1) In particular these plants have suffered problems of loss of solids during peaks in flow. The following paper describes the ISAMTM process, which has been developed to overcome problems encountered with conventional package activated sludge plants. DESCRIPTION OF THE ISAM? PROCESS. The basis of the ISAM? process is a single cell sequencing batch reactor. (SBR) In this the sewage is treated batchwise, with aeration being followed by a pe
