Abstract
The optimum degree of primary treatment in an activated sludge process is investigated in this study. In this investigation, a so-called parallel biochemical oxidation kinetic model, which takes into account the low metabolic rate and masking effect of suspended wastes, is employed to characterize the kinetics in the aeration chamber. The dynamic programming technique is used to determine the optimal primary clarifier detention time. The analysis shows that the optimal primary clarifier detention time depends on the concentration and masking characteristics of inlet suspended wastes, as well as the concentration of inlet soluble substrate.
