Name
Municipal wastewater treatment ; Wastewater ; Vertical-loop reactor activated sludge technology
Use advice for data set 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.
Technical purpose of product or process The described vertical-loop reactor activated sludge technology is utilized for municipal wastewater treatment processes. This technology is specifically applied in the treatment of wastewater by using a vertical-loop reactor configuration to promote effective breakdown of organic pollutants through activated sludge. It's typically employed in municipal wastewater treatment facilities to ensure clean water standards suitable for either discharge into natural water bodies or for further purification stages.

Technology description including background system 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.
