Introduction: Terminology
SETTLEABILITY
low rate loading that is one half to one tenth of the conventional
loading rate
measure of the volume occupied by the mixed liquor after settling in
a graduated cylinder for 30 minutes
generally expressed as a percentage based on the ratio of the
sludge volume to the supernatant volume

Aeration Systems
Aeration provides
dissolved oxygen and
mixing of the mixed liquor and wastewater in
the aeration tank.
