Hi Maymoun

if the original capacity installed capacity was 1500 and you receiving 2500 then the process will be overloaded and you can expect poor effluent quality and bad sludge settling since aeration will be inadequate, encouraging filamentous bacteria growth, poor settling, smell, appearance etc

in the long term you will need to increase your treatment process capacity, from inlet screens and grit removal across ponds and to the secondary settling. All of these, if receiving more load than designed for, will most likely fail and contribute to overall process performance failure

Message me if you require additional inputs

regards

I agree with Gary. From the given figures I do not think a quick fix would be possible, although some short term mitigation measures may be possible if more information is made available. One would need to consider more detailed design, actual loading and operational information to determine the way forward. Regards
