Biography
In 1906 he graduated from Moscow University , in 1909 he graduated from the Moscow Agricultural Institute. From 1909 until the end of his life he worked in the Moscow city economy system - first as a biologist in the Lublin irrigation fields, from 1912 - head of the microbiological department of the Lublin laboratory. At the same time since 1935 he was an employee of the All-Union Research Institute of Municipal Sanitation and Hygiene (now the Center for Strategic Planning and Management of Medical and Biological Health Risks of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation). In 1935 he was awarded the title "Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR."
Stroganov dealt with many issues of wastewater treatment and self-purification of water bodies (study of oxidative processes in wastewater treatment, anaerobic degradation of organic matter, issues of hydraulics, corrosion, sanitary equipment, etc.) For the first time in Russia and one of the first in the world under his leadership, a treatment technology was developed wastewater with activated sludge, which was introduced at the Kozhukhovskaya aeration station in 1925. He proposed and introduced methods for technical and technological calculations of wastewater treatment plants in od (methane tanks, air filters, aeration tanks, etc.). These methods were used in the construction of treatment facilities in Moscow (Kozhukhovskaya, Lublin, Filevskaya, Zakrestovsky aeration stations) and in other cities of the USSR. An important area of activity of S. N. Stroganov was to increase the economic efficiency of treatment facilities, what was later called the principle “from waste to income”, or “use of secondary resources”. An important achievement in this direction was the developed methane fermentation technology at elevated temperatures (thermophilic methane fermentation at 50 ° C), which allows biogas based on methane to be used and used for boiler houses and as fuel in cars with gas internal combustion engines.
Simultaneously with the scientific and practical work on wastewater treatment, S. N. Stroganov was engaged in pedagogical activities, since 1923 he began to give lectures at the second Moscow University (currently - MV Lomonosov Moscow State University of Fine Chemical Technologies, Moscow Technological University) , and in the 1930s - at the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute and at the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering. The scientific heritage of S. N. Stroganov is more than 80 published works. (Main works: Biological wastewater treatment. Main processes, M.-L., 1934 (shared with K.N. Korolkov); Chemistry and microbiology of drinking and wastewater, M.-L., 1938 (shared with M I. Lapshin).
