Abstract
A bench-scale study was undertaken to determine the effect of aeration time and biological loading (F:M ratio or SRT) on effluent soluble carbonaceous BOD removal. Three continuous flow units with solids recycle were employed, using bacto-peptone feed, with theoretical hydraulic retention times of 1.5, 6.0, and 24.0 hours. The investigation presents data for three phases of study, each representing a different wasting schedule for the three systems in question. The mass loading to each unit was kept constant for the entire study. Results relating soluble BOD and COD removal to biological loading and aeration time are represented.
