Abstract
The paper considers the issue of compliance with the technological regulations for the operation of the regenerator of the aeration tank. An analysis of the features of the processes in the regenerator was carried out, the factors affecting them were determined, namely the intensity of aeration, consumption and initial dose of activated sludge.
To determine the characteristics of activated sludge at the exit from the regenerator, experimental studies were conducted and a model was obtained that describes the regeneration process in the aeration tank. Using the model, the influence of the process components on the concentration of activated sludge at the outlet of the aeration tank was studied. As a result of the study, it was established that the dose of sludge at the exit from the first corridor of the aeration tank (regenerator) depends on the concentration and consumption of activated sludge, which is received after settling the mixture from secondary sedimentation tanks.
The practical use of the obtained results will make it possible to quickly respond to changes in the technological mode of sludge regeneration and effectively influence the process of biological cleaning in the aeration tank. Compliance with the technological regulations for the operation of treatment facilities is aimed at protecting the environment, preventing pollution of water bodies due to the inflow of insufficiently treated wastewater.
