  3. Abstract:
  4. The effects of bioaugmentation on maintaining the conventional activated sludge (CAS) system stability under shock loading conditions, standardizing the effluent, and improving the sludge settlement, were studied. Phenol was chosen as a model of mono-aromatic compounds, which are commonly found in the wastewaters of petroleum refineries and petrochemical industry in Iran. Bioaugmentation is a practical means to increase the resistance of a CAS system against shock loadings of recalcitrant compounds. It is also effective in removing hazardous compounds according to recommended standards. By using this method, there is no need to change CAS system construction, thus, it can be used simply and widely in wastewater treatment units in Iran. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 18th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering (Prague, Czech Republic 8/24-28/2008)
