ABSTRACT:
It is necessary for maintaining a good assimilating characteristic of microorganisms upon organic matter in an aeration tank to control a gas flow rate and a return sludge flow rate to optimum values. To this effect, it is necessary to know a concentration of organic matter or a organic load. In the present invention, it is confirmed that carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) or nitrous oxide (N.sub.2 O) in an exhaust gas from the aeration tank has a correlation with it, and the aeration tank is controlled as N.sub.2 O or CO.sub.2 as an index. Furthermore, it is confirmed that CO.sub.2 formation rate has a good correlation with COD or BOD in the upstream half section of the aeration tank, whereas N.sub.2 O formation rate has a good correlation with COD or BOD in the latter half section thereof along sewage flow direction, and more improved control can be attained by a combination of both CO.sub.2 and N.sub.2 O indices.
