31. Given the data below, what is the most likely cause <strong>of</strong> a low DO level in an acti­vated sludge aeration tank with a diffused aeration system problem?Data: Blower air rate output highOrganic load normalHydraulic load normalLow turbulence throughout aeration tanka. Aeration system piping leakingb. Excessive air bubble shearing by diffusersc. Return sludge rate 100 highd. Underaeration because <strong>of</strong> low blower speedl32.
