Hydrolysis and acidification of activated sludge from a petroleum refinery
Abstract The cost-effective treatment of activated sludge that is generated by refining petroleum is a challenging industrial problem. In this study, semi-continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) containing petroleum refinery excess activated sludge (PREAS) were used to comparatively investigate hyd...
