Practical Considerations Concerning Operation of Sewage Treatment Facilities in Ufa

Abstract

The authors propose the method for the management of the biological process of nutrients removal from wastewater on the basis of the system analysis of interconnected activated sludge growth characteristics. Under the conditions of the existing wastewater treatment facilities in the city of Ufa, the quality and safety of wastewater treatment level was achieved, while the volume of the biomass being removed to the facilities for wastewater sludge treatment was reduced. This management method is promising and it makes it possible to improve the quality of wastewater treatment, to provide a several-fold reduction in operating costs and to reduce the environmental impact resulting from wastewater sludge dumping.
