This pilot allows the study of the processes implemented in the case of an activated sludge water treatment plant.
This pilot presents the process of elimination of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution by microbiological route. It works by contacting the water to be purified with a bacterial floc in the presence of O2 followed by a phase of separation of this floc. The oxidation basin is preceded by a pool of anoxia, which makes it possible to characterize and differentiate the stages of denitrification and nitrification. Treatment continues with dephosphatation by physicochemical treatment.
- Understand the degradation phenomena of chemical and organic pollutants by the action of microorganisms in aerobic environment, followed by physicochemical treatment.
- Driving a station based on daily sampling and analysis.
- Characterization of the stages of nitrification - denitrification - dephosphatation.
