Thesis topic:
Change of carbon and nitrogen oxidation state during post-aeration of digested sludge
Motivation
Solution
Post-aeration of digested sludge is one option which combines the advantages and suppresses the disadvantages of commonly used aerobic and anaerobic stabilization. As some studies suggest by introducing the sludge to aerobic conditions the decomposition of organic matter hard to degrade in a single anaerobic stage is deepened. It is also possible to remove ammonia with a great efficiency and thereby reduce the amount of nitrogen recycled in the whole wastewater treatment process. Improvement of sludge properties, particularly dewaterability, is one of the most mentioned effects of post-aeration. Reduction of the amount of sludge that must be dewatered and disposed could be a huge advantage of this process and could make it attractive for countries where the sludge disposal costs are high.
