The applicability of the Sludge Biotic Index in a facility treating sugar refinery effluents and municipal wastewater.

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of the Sludge Biotic Index (SBI) as an indicator of activated sludge purification efficiency during different influent loadings: municipal wastewater (M) and municipal wastewater combined with industrial wastewater from a sugar refinery (M + S).

Assessment of the Role of Extracellular DNA and Protozoan Grazing in Aerobic Granular Sludge Development

TL;DR: Grazing by heterotrophic protists was shown to increase and maintain aggregate size as well as significantly affect the microbial community structure and extracellular DNA was observed as halos and honeycomb structures within granules and was found to be integral to granular architecture.

Utilização do processamento digital de imagens no monitoramento de estações de tratamento de efluentes

TL;DR: ProtoRec v.2 as mentioned in this paper is a semi-automatic system for reconhecimento semi-automatação de protozoarios by analise de imagem, e foi em seguida utilizado for estudar a evolucao da microfauna.

Nematode biomass production from sewage sludge as a novel method for circular economy

TL;DR: In this paper, Caenorhabditis elegans was used to grow on urban sludge, reaching a remarkable average population up to 92,668 nematodes/mL, 50.6% of sludge was converted into nematode biomass and up to 21.0% of organic matter removed.

Protozoa in biological sewage-treatment processes—II. Protozoa as indicators in the activated-sludge process

C.R Curds, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1970 - 
TL;DR: Evidence was found which suggested that the species structure of the protozoa population in activated sludge was in some way associated with the quality of effluent delivered, and a method was devised which enables the assessment of the average effluent quality delivered from a knowledge of the species present in the sludge.
