| Research Abstract |
It is commonly known that the fatty oils are recalcitrant substances. When these fatty oils flow in biological plants, water treatment efficiency deteriorates and occurs scum formation
So our study are examined the influence of fatty oils to the microorganism and observed the effect of saponin that is used in the biological plants. Saponin is a general name for plant glycosides with characteristics of surfactants (Biosurfactant).
As the result of examination, we can get useful data as follows,
(1) Fats removed from liquid phase are usually adsorbed by sludge but tend to be released back to liquid in dewatering process because absorption and degradation of the attached fats by microorganism are slow and incomplete.
(2) When the liquid containing high concentration of fats, the phenomena of baluking and issue of sludge are observed.
(3) By adding the saponin, those phenomena of mentioned above are reduced or improved.
(4) It is considered to ehhance the absorption and biodegradation of fatty oils by adding the saponin.
