摘要： A system and method for the ozone treatment of wastewater is disclosed. The disclosed wastewater treatment system includes a high selectivity reactor coupled to an activated sludge treatment basin. The high selectivity reactor is adapted to receive a stream containing sludge diverted directly or indirectly from the activated sludge treatment basin. The disclosed wastewater treatment system and method is adapted to inject a chemical agent, such as ozone-enriched gas, into the diverted stream for treatment within the high selectivity reactor for purposes of sludge reduction, foam control, or bulking control. The treated stream is then returned to the activated sludge treatment basin.

摘要： A system and method for the treatment of wastewater is disclosed. The disclosed wastewater treatment system includes a high selectivity reactor coupled to a wastewater treatment reactor, such as an activated sludge treatment basin, membrane bioreactor or sequencing batch reactor. The high selectivity reactor is adapted to receive a liquid stream containing biosolids diverted directly or indirectly from the wastewater treatment reactor. The wastewater treatment system also includes a chemical injection subsystem operatively coupled to the high selectivity reactor and adapted to inject a chemical, such as ozone-enriched gas, into the diverted liquid stream to effect highly selective treatment of the diverted stream. The treated liquid stream is subsequently sent via a return line to the continuously stirred tank reactor or other discharge point.
