Influence of the Presence of Long Chain Fatty Acids (Lcfas) in the Sewage on the Growth of M. Parvicella in Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plants
Abstract:Foaming and bulking problems in activated sludge treatment plants are associated to the presence of a variety of filamentous bacteria. However, it has been observed that M. parvicella is the most frequent filamentous microorganism causing sludge bulking and foaming, especially in treatment plants involving nutrients removal.High sludge retention time, low DO, low temperature, presence of anoxic, anaerobic, and intermittently aerated zones, are the most commonly cited conditions associated with its growth.
