    Rising Sludge Vs Bulk Sludge

    Uploaded by

    Carlo Galicia
    Rising sludge occurs when settled sludge at the bottom of secondary clarifiers starts to rise back up due to denitrification or anaerobic activity producing gases. Bulk sludge is caused by sludge failing to separate out in sedimentation tanks due to an overgrowth of filamentous bacteria preventing proper settling. The document distinguishes between rising sludge, where settled sludge rises back up due to gas production, and bulk sludge, where sludge does not separate out properly due to long filamentous bacteria.

    Rising Sludge vs Bulk

    Sludge

    Rising Sludge
    Occurs in the secondary clarifiers of
    activated sludge plants
    When the sludge settles to the bottom of
    the clarifier, is compacted, and then starts
    to rise to the surface, usually as a result of
    denitrification, or anaerobic biological
    activity that produces carbon dioxide or
    methane.

    Bulk Sludge
    Occurs when the sludge fails to separate
    out in the sedimentation tanks
    The main cause of sludge bulking is the
    growth of filamentous bacteria.
