Author:Van Wageningen, SonélDate:2007Central to this process is biological sulphate reduction (BSR) using primary sewage sludge (PSS) as the electron donor and organic carbon source, with the concomitant reduction of sulphate to sulphide and production of carbonate alkalinity. ...Read more
Author:Van Rensburg, PierreDate:2001Despite its wide application, the design, operation and control of anaerobic digesters treating sewage sludges still is largely based on experience, or empirical guidelines. To aid the design, operation and control of (and research into) ...Read more
Author:Ekama, G A; Wentzel, M CDate:2004A simple predictive model for the activated sludge reactor inorganic suspended solids (ISS) concentration is presented. It is based on the accumulation of influent ISS in the reactor and an ordinary heterotrophic organism (OHO) ISS content ...Read more
Author:Ristow, N E; Sotemann, S W; Wentzel, M C; Loewenthal, R E; Ekama, G ADate:2005Sulphate measurement using a barium sulphate turbidimetric method in solutions with high concentrations of organic material is shown to be problematic. The organics give background colour, which introduces a positive error to the measured ...Read more
