Potential inhibition of filamentous microorganisms in sludge bulking by static magnetic field

In activated sludge system, the performance of the process largely depends on the balance between filamentous and floc -forming microorganisms. When the normal balance of these biological communities is disturbed, filamentous microorganisms t end to proliferate, causing various problems to the treat...
