Abstract
Abstract A sewage treatment equipment with activated sludge process beds comprising a plurality of treatment tanks arranged in a row, each communicating with an adjacent tank through a passage and being provided with an aeration tank connected with an air in-flow pipe and a plurality of activated sludge process beds disposed vertically above the aeration pipe and in each of which a mesh-like or grid-like outer periphery of a cylindrical core is wrapped with a porous member of a certain thickness and further tightened with tightening belts, characterized in that an outer peripheral area of the cylindrical core is increased tank by tank to give variety to kind of bacteria, bredding ratio between bacterias and distribution thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
In a sewage treatment equipment with activated sludge process beds in which a plurality of treatment tanks are arranged in a row each communicating with an adjacent tank through a passage, and each of the treatment tanks comprises a plurality of activated sludge process beds disposed vertically above an aeration pipe which is connected with an air in-flow pipe and disposed at the bottom of each tank, each of the activated sludge process beds comprising a cylindrical core composed of a hard synthetic resin resistant to corrosion over a long period of immersion in sewage water, said cylindrical core being wrapped with a porous member, said core being tightened by tightening means, the improvement comprising: an outer peripheral area of the cylindrical core wrapped with the porous member in each activated sludge process bed being increased tank by tank according to disposition of the tanks so as to give variety to kinds of bacteria, breeding ratio between aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria and distribution thereof tank by tank in order.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
In a sewage treatment equipment with activated sludge process beds in which a plurality of treatment tanks are arranged in a row each communicating with an adjacent tank through a passage, and each of the treatment tanks comprises a plurality of activated sludge process beds disposed vertically above an aeration pipe which is connected with an air in-flow pipe and disposed at the bottom of each tank, each of the activated sludge process beds comprising a cylindrical core composed of a hard synthetic resin resistant to corrosion over a long period of immersion in sewage water, said cylindrical core being wrapped with a porous member, said core being tightened by tightening means, the improvement comprising: an outer peripheral area of the cylindrical core wrapped with the porous member in each activated sludge process bed being increased tank by tank according to disposition of the tanks so as to give variety to kinds of bacteria, breeding ratio between aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria and distribution thereof tank by tank in order.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A sewage treatment equipment with activated sludge beds as claimed in claim 1, wherein the porous member of each bed is formed of a lot of vinylidene chloride yarns intertwisted with one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
The improvement of claim 1, wherein, within said plurality of treatment tanks, the ratio of aerobic bacteria to anaerobic bacteria in the activated sludge bed of a first tank is approximately 80% to 20%, in a second tank is approximately 50% to 50% and a third tank is approximately 40% to 60%.
