Elimination of organic micropolluants in wastewater treatment plants
In recent years, organic micropollutants such as pharmaceutical residues, hormones and other endocrine disrupters, biocides, or other additives have been detected in various surface and groundwaters around the world. They often enter surface waters via domestic wastewater and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents have been identified as one of the main sources of these substances. ...

Sludge reduction in a small wastewater treatment plant by electro-kinetic disintegration
Sludge reduction in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) has recently become a key issue for the managing companies, due to the increasing constraints on the disposal alternatives. Therefore, all the solutions proposed with the aim of minimizing sludge production are receiving increasing attention and are tested either at laboratory or full-scale to evaluate their real effectiveness. In the ...

Simulation of municipal-industrial full scale WWTP in an arid climate by application of ASM3
In developing countries, and due to the high cost of treatment of industrial wastewater, municipal wastewater treatment facilities usually receive a mixture of municipal wastewater and partially treated industrial wastewater. As a result, an increased potential for shock loads with high pollutant concentrations is expected. The use of mathematical modelling of wastewater treatment is highly ...

Discharge quality from municipal wastewater treatment plants and the Sludge Biotic Index for activated sludge: integrative assessment
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are scrutinized by Environmental Authorities particularly regarding the compliance to discharge limit values fixed by national and local regulations. An integrated approach is necessary to achieve the objectives established with Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) considering the ecological status of the receiving water body and the quality of the discharge. ...

Probabilistic analysis of risks to U.S. drinking water intakes from 1,4‐dioxane in domestic wastewater treatment plant effluents
The risks of 1,4‐dioxane (dioxane) concentrations in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, receiving primarily domestic wastewater, to downstream drinking water intakes was estimated using distributions of measured dioxane concentrations in effluents from 40 WWTPs and surface water dilution factors of 1,323 drinking water intakes across the U.S. Effluent samples were spiked with an ...

Sewer Collection System Bioaugmentation Reduces Influent Load and Improves Plant Performance
Abstract The effectiveness of In-Pipe Technology (IPT) patented sewer collection system engineered bioaugmentation on i) influent wastewater loads to wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), ii) WWTP performance, and iii) effluent quality, was a demonstrated at a domestic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) WWTP (Sewer District #20) in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York in collaboration with the Suffolk ...

How to Treat Hospital Wastewater by Electrocoagulation
In this article, we will discuss the sources of hospital wastewater, the effects of hospital wastewater on the environment, and how innovative electrocoagulation treatment technology can be sustainably used as part of an integrated hospital wastewater treatment system to effectively treat this contaminated wastewater stream. When people are sick or injured, they typically go to a hospital to ...
