Fundamental and application of aerobic granulation technology for wastewater treatment(7)
Settling time
The settling time acts as a major hydraulic selection pressure on microbial community. A short settling time
preferentially selects for the growth of fast settling bacteria and the sludge with a poor settleability is washed out.
Qin et al. (2004) reported that aerobic granules were successfully cultivated and became dominant only in the SBR
operated at a settling time of 5 min. Mixtures of aerobic granules and suspended sludge were observed in the SBRs
run at settling times of 20, 15, and 10 min. The production of extracellular polysaccharides was stimulated and the
cell surface hydrophobicity improved significantly at short settling times. These findings illustrate the fact that
aerobic granulation is driven by selection pressure and the formation and characteristics of the granules may be
controlled by manipulating the selection pressure. Therefore, choice of an optimal settling time is very important in
aerobic granulation. Granules with excellent settling properties are essential for the effective functioning of
biological systems treating wastewater.
