Preliminary

This service was made according to customer order points and indications from Hydrolab Microbiológica (Surcis collaborator)

The client wanted Surcis to carry out a study about COD fractioning and nitrification.
For this study the client has provided to Surcis the following:

  • Process type: Activated sludge - Extended aeration
  • 2 wastewater samples: the first one is a punctual sample from an irregular wastewater influent (sample 1) and the second one is coming from one-day composite wastewater from the normal influent to the activated sludge process (sample 2)
  • Activated sludge from the biological reactor.
  • Some wastewater data in the process.

Date of the study: weeks 17 (April) and 18 (May) - 2012

Note: As usual, in the complete report presented to the client, Hydrolab Microniológica could also include a part of the microscopic bio-indication.

  • Improved UV/O3 method for measuring the chemical oxygen demand

    We improved the ultraviolet (UV)/O3-based method for measuring chemical oxygen demand (COD) in water. An on-line COD monitoring device was developed and the UV/O3 method was used to oxidize sample solutions. A model was established by using support vector machines (SVM) algorithm to estimate dissolved oxygen and CO2 in solutions. Based on the measured data by each sensor during the oxidation process and the estimated dissolved oxygen and CO2, the UV/O3-based COD test accuracy was improved. This approach overcomes...

  • The use of vertical flow constructed wetlands for the treatment of hyper-eutrophic water bodies ...

    Eutrophication often leads to the periodic proliferation of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs), which threaten the sustainability of freshwater ecosystems and lead to serious environmental, health and economic damage. Hence, it is vitally important to take effective measures to manage HCBs and associated problems. In this study, vertical flow constructed wetlands (CWs) were operated under different hydraulic loading rates (HLRs) to treat a hyper-eutrophic water body with HCBs. Six sampling ports (representing...

  • Characterization of domestic graywater and graywater solids

    The knowledge of loads and concentrations is fundamental for the design of graywater treatment units, but the data on the characteristics of graywater and in particular graywater solids are weak. As general design values regarding graywater treatment facilities are not available for Germany, the objective of this article is to elaborate the characteristics of graywater and graywater solids. This paper describes the results of six sampling campaigns carried out on graywater systems in the German cities Berlin,...

  • Post-treatment of tannery wastewater using pilot scale horizontal subsurface flow constructed ...

    In the present study, a pilot scale horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (CW) system planted with Phragmites karka; longitudinal profile was studied. The wetland was fed with tannery wastewater, pretreated in a two-stage anaerobic digester followed by a sequence batch reactor. Samples from each CW were taken and analyzed using standard methods. The removal efficiency of the CW system in terms of biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), Cr and total coliforms were 91.3%, 90%, 97.3%...

  • Application of the Random Forest model for chlorophyll-a forecasts in fresh and brackish water ...

    There is a growing world need for predicting algal blooms in lakes and reservoirs to better manage water quality. We applied the random forest model with a sliding window strategy, which is one of the machine learning algorithms, to forecast chlorophyll-a concentrations in the fresh water of the Urayama Reservoir and the saline water of Lake Shinji. Both water bodies are situated in Japan and have historical water records containing more than ten years of data. The Random Forest (RF) model allowed us to forecast...
