Description
Activated Sludge: Filamentous Organisms (3 hours) provides a description of filamentous organisms based
morphology (structure) and response to differential stains. The class reviews the positive roles performed by
filamentous organisms at an acceptable level of growth as well as the negative roles performed by filamentous
organisms at an unacceptable level. Growth stimulatory (operational) conditions produced modes of operate
industrial discharges that promote an unacceptable level of filamentous organism growth are identified, and
corrective measures for the growth conditions are offered. The growth, problematic conditions and mode of
operation for correcting undesired foam-producing filamentous organism is presented.
