Morphology of Filaments...
Bulking is the term applied to a condition in which an overabundance of filamentous organisms is present in
the mixed liquor in the activated - sludge process. The presence of filamentous organisms causes the biological flocs in
the reactor to be bulky and loosely packed. The bulky flocs do not settle well and are often carried over in great
quantities in the effluent from the sedimentation tank. The filamentous organisms found in the activated - sludge process
include a variety of filamentous bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi. Conditions favoring the growth
of filamentous organisms are numerous and vary from plant to plant.
