Activated SludgeActivated SludgeBy : Husnul Khotimah

Active sludge and river actualy have the same

water treatment principal. Both of them use micro organisms to

break down harmful chemical components

or contaminated water

• Bar Rack ,Grit Chamber : remove any heavy solid materials that are greater than those of the organic putrescible solids in wastewater.•Primary Clarifier sedimented heavy organic solids (suspended solids). Aeration Tank ( Active sludge tankaerobic processes will trigger Mixed liquor to stimulate microorganismd so that the growth rate of bacteria will be much faster •Secondary Clarifier (final sedimentation) sedimented fluk •Disinfect make it free of disease-causing organisms.

Active sludge tanks create a way to support microorganisms

so that microorganisms be effective to degrade contaminated water

Active sludge can be applied in all food industries , textile industries, etc. where high

removal rate of organic pollution is required.
