limitations of conventional activated sludge process.

13

limitation of conventional ASP.

System dependent on inefficient settling

mechanism
Settling units are prone to problems of poor settling and frequent floc carry over due to bulking , de nitrification . Complete plant operation is normally operator dependent
14

limitation of conventional ASP.

No mechanism to control type of micro-

organism in the aeration tank

No inbuilt feature for nitrification / de nitrification No feature for phosphorous removal Need for large diameter secondary clarifier to settle the light bio flocs
