Sludge Treatment and Disposal Technologies

Most wastewater treatment processes produce a by-product that purifies wastewater before it is released into local waterways. This by-product is named as sludge. Typically in solid, semi-solid or liquid state, it is in fact an amalgamation of all the liquid wastes that are discharged by domestic houses, commercial properties, industry, and/or agriculture after aerobic biological treatment. ...

Thermal Treatment Technologies

Hot gas decontamination: Hot gas decontamination is a technology still in the pilot-scale of development that can be used for decontamination of explosives-contaminated masonry or metallic structures. The method involves sealing and insulating the structures, heating with hot gas stream to 260 °C (500 °F) for a prescribed period of time, volatilizing the explosive contaminants, and destroying ...

Other Treatment Technologies

Reuse/Recycle: Recovery and reuse technologies for energetic materials, including both explosives and propellants, should be considered at explosives waste sites for several reasons. First, new recovery methods and potential uses for reclaimed explosive materials are rapidly developing. Second, recovery/reuse options reduce overall remediation costs by eliminating destruction costs and allowing ...

Waste water treatment technology selection using FAHP and GRA approaches

This paper describes an application of hybrid multi–criteria decision–making (MCDM) technique for the selection of waste water treatment (WWT) technology for treating wastewater. The proposed approach is based on fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) and hierarchy grey relation analysis (GRA) technique. The FAHP is used to determine the weights of criteria and then ranking of the WWT ...

A technology for the treatment of olive-mill waste water in a continuously fed plant

Abstract A bench-scale pilot plant has been developed for the treatment of olive-mill water. The plant is fed in a continuous mode and implements a primary treatment (sand filtering and irradiation with UV-rays) and a secondary treatment (anoxic and aerobic biological treatment). Satisfactory results were obtained and the treated green water falls under the limits of the Italian legislation. ...
