Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
Municipal activated sludge from the wastewater treatment plant of Mannheim, Germany. The
inoculum was collected on 16 August 2010 from the aeration tank of the plant and aerated in
the laboratory until use. A suitable aliquot of the activated sludge suspension was sieved by a
finely woven mesh with a mesh size about 1 mm. To reduce the content of inorganic carbon
in the blank controls the activated sludge was aerated with carbon dioxide free air for about
24 hours at 22 ± 2° C.
Aliquots of 7.5 mL were added to the test vessels to obtain a activated sludge concentration
of 30 mg/L dry weight.
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
