Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant <strong>May</strong> 20<strong>10</strong><br />

sludge process are determined by the composite metabolism of the microorganisms in the<br />

activated sludge.<br />

Air is introduced into the system to satisfy the requirements of the activated sludge and<br />

to keep the activated sludge dispersed in the aeration liquor. Oxygen transfer to the<br />

activated sludge is accomplished by oxygen absorbed from diffused bubbles of air<br />

entrained in the mixed liquor. A fine bubble diffused air system consisting of diffusers<br />

that are submerged in the wastewater, header pipes, air mains and the blowers and<br />

appurtenances through which the air passes is foreseen.<br />

To reduce risks of sludge bulking, a contact zone will be provided at entry of each<br />

biological tank, where pre-treated effluent is mixed with recirculation sludge. In each<br />

zone, intimate blending of the mixed liquor will be performed by a submersible stirrer<br />

that can be adjusted and raised on a beam. The stirring power will be approximately 20<br />

W/m3. Contact zone volume is dimensioned for a retention time of <strong>10</strong> minutes for peak<br />

effluent flow + sludge recirculation flow.<br />

The biological tanks are of channel-flow type and are composed of an anoxic zone and an<br />

aerated zone. Reduction of carbonated pollution and nitrification is performed in the<br />

aerated zone. Partial denitrification (Nitrate nitrogen reduction) is also performed in this<br />

zone, using sequential aeration. However, denitrification needs to be completed in an<br />

anoxic zone in order to achieve the required Nitrate Nitrogen effluent discharge quality.<br />

Thus, an anoxic zone is implemented in head of the aerated zone and mixed liquor with<br />

high Nitrate concentration is recirculated from the aerated zone to the anoxic zone.<br />
