Dewatering supernatant aeration
The supernatant or filtrate from the sludge dewatering process is often sent back to the primary treatment. Supernatant usually has a low content of organic matter but a high content of nitrogen. If the nitrogen content of the final effluent is low, the supernatant nitrogen load might affect tha biological process. For this reason the supernatant will need to be aerated separately.
