Rotating Biological Contactors submerged in activated sludge
Rotating Biological Contactors submerged in activated sludge
(OP)
Guys,
I am looking for anybody who had design or operation experience with RBC submerged in activated sludge. It is quite new system, met in Germany and US.
Would you be able to share with your opinion? Is it a good system to treat wastewater with high BOD load fluctuations?
thanks
Beata

The resistance to shock loadings is not a general characteristic although it may be possible in some situations. This operating characteristic is not really something that can be beneficially used either. Because the microorganisms grow attached to a fixed surface, there is little that can be done to alter their mass in response to environmental changes and so there is no effective way of controlling the effluent quality.
