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.

    Drinking water treatment in North America has stringent requirements for effluent water quality, with a great amount of attention being drawn to the presence of hazardous disinfection by-products (DBPs) persisting through water distribution systems. The operation of water treatment plants involves addition of various mixing agents to help with coagulation and settling of organics in the raw water supply, as well as the addition of chlorine for final disinfection. Optimizing water treatment to reduce the risk of...

    Greywater management in Ghana receives little or no attention although untreated greywater is associated with environmental and public health risks. This paper assesses greywater characteristics and handling practices among urban households in three selected communities in Kumasi, the second largest city of Ghana. The study involved in-depth surveys (interviews and observations) with 90 households, and collection of 18 greywater samples from nine greywater sources for laboratory analysis. Average greywater...

  • Estimation of water quality by UV/Vis spectrometry in the framework of treated wastewater reuse

    The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectrometry as a complementary method for routine monitoring of reclaimed water production. Robustness of the models and compliance of their sensitivity with current quality limits are investigated. The following indicators are studied: total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrate. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) is used to find linear correlations between absorbances and indicators...

  • What is Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)?

    Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) analysis is a measurement of the oxygen-depletion capacity of a water sample contaminated with organic waste matter. Specifically, it measures the equivalent amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize organic compounds in water. Why Measure COD? COD is used as a general indicator of water quality and is an integral part of all water quality management programs. Additionally, COD is often used to estimate BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) as a strong correlation exists between COD...
