The present invention provides a treating unit of activated sludge for
wastewater treatment and a treating apparatus having the same. The
treating unit is constructed by a cage-shaped supporting structure which
defines an interior space for containing the microbial cell therein. The
present invention provides a measure for simultaneous removal of organics
and nitrogen compounds from the wastewater under a condition of
controlled aeration, and makes the configuration of treating apparatus as
well as the treating process more simplified. It is also an alternative
to replace the traditional A2O process. According to the present
invention, the design of sludge return, which is essential for the
conventional activated sludge treatment, is not needed. Moreover, the
present invention is compatible with the conventional activated sludge
treatment process and is advantageous in its short start-up period during
which a stable operation is achievable.
