During start up your aeration tank produces excessive amounts of billowing white foam. This can be
corrected by:

E. It is best to do nothing until the TNRCCC sends a violation notice. Ans- A. there is almost always a
good technical solution. It may require considerable experience and time to learn whaat it is.
When the return sludge rate is too low, what happens?
