Dispersed Growth

When there are a high amount of bacteria dispersed in the bulk liquid between the flocs, this can result in a cloudy supernatant and high effluent suspended solids.

Causes Include:

- High F/M Ratio

- Rapid Temp. Change

- Toxicity

- Presence of Surfactants

- Shock Load

- Cation Imbalance
