Description

Vertical circulating reactor activated sludge technology is an advanced wastewater treatment technology, in which activated sludge is fully contacted and reacted with wastewater through a vertical circulation system. This technology effectively utilizes the space inside the reactor, improves wastewater treatment efficiency, and is suitable for treating all types of wastewater, including municipal and industrial wastewater. When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, attention should be given to the specific context in which the vertical-loop reactor activated sludge technology is applied, including the year of implementation and the geographical location (Nongkaem, Thailand, 2014). Considerations such as local ambient conditions and technological variations should be accounted for. Any updates or changes in the technology or regional wastewater standards subsequent to 2014 should be taken into account for accurate assessment.

Technology

Vertical Cyclone Reactor activated sludge technology typically involves the following key processes:Intake and mixing: Wastewater is introduced into the Vertical Cyclone Reactor and mixed thoroughly with the activated sludge.Biodegradation: Organic substances in the wastewater are degraded by microorganisms into water and carbon dioxide.Circulation: Through the vertical circulation system, the wastewater and activated sludge are continuously contacted and mixed to promote the degradation of organic substances in the wastewater.Sedimentation: The treated water is settled in the reactor so that sludge particles are deposited to the bottom to form sludge deposits.Clean Water Discharge: Treated water is discharged through an outlet and clean water is released into the environment.
