| Abstract | The purpose of the investigation was to determine the benefits of substituting pure oxygen for air in the activated sludge process with particular emphasis on differences in microbial growth kinetics. A fundamental laboratory study was conducted using synthetic waste and Pepsi Cola waste as the substrate. The study included batch and completely-mixed continuous flow once-through system. Results from the study showed that high purity oxygen was a realistic alternative to conventional aeration especially at higher dilution rate . The benefits, however, are due to the advantages offered by the higher activity and metabolism of the microorganism in the pure oxygen system. |
