Abstract:
A wastewater treatment system including an aeration unit, a contact tank, a dissolved air flotation unit, and a biological treatment unit is disclosed. A method of retrofitting a wastewater treatment system by providing an aeration unit and fluidly connecting the aeration unit to the wastewater treatment system is also disclosed. A method of treating wastewater including aerating wastewater with oxygen, combining the aerated wastewater with activated sludge, floating biosolids from the activated wastewater, and biologically treating the effluent is also disclosed. The method optionally includes combining the floated biosolids with the aerated wastewater and/or activated wastewater. A method of facilitating treatment of high solids content wastewater is also disclosed.
