Abstract:
1. A method for improving a wastewater treating process employing one of activated sludge or a sequencing batch reactor comprising the steps of introducing into one or more of the reactor tanks of an activated sludge treatment process or a sequencing batch reactor an initial dosage of at least two agents selected from the group consisting of synthetic biological growth support media to increase the effective total reactor volume about 1%, 10 to 50 ppm of natural zeolitic material being one of clinoptilolite, mordenite, chabazite or phillipsite and 1 to 10 ppm of cultured bacterial agents to effect one or more of an increase production of extra cellular polysaccharides for better liquid solid separation, removal of ammonia, denitrification, COD and BOD removal, reduction of surfactant interference with liquid solid separation, provide a balanced nutrient formulation in the wastewater, phosphate removal and odor removal, wherein each selected agent is introduced as an individual separate component.
