Zusammenfassung

In den letzten Jahren ist in der biologischen Abwasserreinigung immer häufiger die Bildung viskoser, stabiler Schäume auf Belebungsbecken zu beklagen. In der Nachklärung schäumender Anlagen kommt es häufig zur Entwicklung von Schwimmschlamm, d.h. zum teilweisen Aufschwimmen des abgesetzten Schlammes und damit zum Schlammabtrieb in das Gewässer. Oft ergeben sich in diesen Anlagen auch in den Faulräumen unerwünschte Schaumbildung und Flotationseffekte.
