This document discusses strategies for addressing bulking and foaming problems in wastewater treatment plants. It outlines various chemical additions that can be used, including polymers, alum, ferric chloride, and ferrous sulfate. Chlorination is described as the most widespread method, and can be designed into new plants or retrofitted into older ones. Application points are given as directly into the aeration basin or the return activated sludge stream. The document also covers techniques for dealing with excessive foaming such as lowering mixed liquor suspended solids concentrations, chlorinating sludge, using water sprays, and foaming agents. It emphasizes the importance of process monitoring and control to maintain effluent quality.
