Combined quantity management and biological treatment of sludge liquor at Hamburg's wastewater treatment plants- first experience in operation with the Store and Treat process

摘要

Store and Treat (SAT) is a new concept for the management of ammonium-rich process waste waters at wastewater treatment plants. It combines the advantages of quantity management and separate biological treatment, whereby both operations are carried out in the same tank. Now the first full-scale application of that method was realized in Hamburg. As first experience shows the process can help to increase nitrogen removal and to reduce energy consumption.
