This paper examines and discusses (a) the innovations of the activated‐sludge process which have been developed in recent years ‐ particularly biological nutrient‐removal processes, (b) modifications to minimize the construction costs of activated‐sludge systems while simultaneously incorporating biological nutrient‐removal techniques, (c) innovative computer‐interfaced control methodologies, and (d) proposed methods of improving the biochemical versatility of activated sludge. The paper also presents potential methods of utilizing activated‐sludge processes to produce valuable by‐products from wastewaters.
