Enhanced membrane bioreactor process without chemical cleaning
In membrane bioreactors (MBR) for wastewater treatment, the separation of activated sludge and treated water takes place by membrane filtration. Due to the small footprint and superior effluent quality, the number of membrane bioreactors used in wastewater treatment is rapidly increasing. A major challenge in this process is the fouling of the membranes which results in permeability decrease and ...

The Perspective of Microbiotests Application of Surface Water Monitoring and Effluent Control in Estonia
Abstract: In Estonia, traditional chemical monitoring of surface water and effluents is performed but bioassays are not used as monitoring tools. Furthermore, the expediency of application of toxicity tests to surface water monitoring is questionable. The main aim of this study was to test the feasibility of using microbiotests in the biomonitoring of surface waters and effluents. The ...

A novel control strategy for efficient biological phosphorus removal with carbon-limited wastewaters
This work shows the development and the in silico evaluation of a novel control strategy aiming at successful biological phosphorus removal in a wastewater treatment plant operating in an A2/O configuration with carbon-limited influent. The principle of this novel approach is that the phosphorus in the effluent can be controlled with the nitrate setpoint in the anoxic reactor as manipulated ...

In Durban, Industries Run on Recycled Water
Water resources are limited in South Africa, especially in the City of Durban. To ensure the city’s residents are given priority in accessing drinking water resources, the Durban Recycling Plant was developed by Veolia Water Technologies to switch manufacturing processes to recycled water. 98% of the city’s wastewater is recycled, freeing up 40,000 cubic meters a day for consumption ...

Treatment of distillery anaerobic effluent in a hybrid biological reactor
The treatability of anaerobic effluent from a molasses-based distillery was studied in a shaft-type hybrid bioreactor under purely suspended growth and hybrid system containing 5 mm tyre-tube beads. The Ks, k, Y and k found as 111.29 mg/l, 0.026/h, 0.4607 and 0.0040/h respectively. The maximum COD removal was 51.7% at a loading rate of 5.250 kg d−1 m−3. The overall removal rate was 0.0431, ...

Ammonia-based feedforward and feedback aeration control in activated sludge processes. Water Environment Research
Abstract: Aeration control at wastewater treatment plants based on ammonia as the controlled variable is applied for one of two reasons: (1) to reduce aeration costs, or (2) to reduce peaks in effluent ammonia. Aeration limitation has proven to result in significant energy savings, may reduce external carbon addition, and can improve denitrification and biological phosphorus (bio-P) performance. ...

Benefits of membrane technology
For years, coagulation and flocculation, along with settling and granular media filtration, sand filters, and precoat filters using diatomaceous earth, have been the “standard” for removing contaminants from water sources. However, since the early 1990’s membrane filtration has gained momentum and is now considered mainstream technology for this purpose. Advances in material science and membrane ...

Turbidity Measurements in Drinking Water, Effluent Discharges and Coagulant Controlling
This month at Partech Water Instruments we’re talking about our turbidity sensors—fantastic to use as an environmental indicator. So how can they be used? We’re here to tell you about turbidity sensors being utilised for drinking water, effluent discharges and coagulant controlling. Turbidity Sensors and Drinking Water Turbidity sensors are an excellent way of analysing water ...

Wastewater Treatment Technologies – Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR)
There are a number of wastewater treatment technologies available including physicochemical, biological and advanced oxidation processes. We’re going to discuss a number of the options available over the coming weeks starting with a brief overview of the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process. The conventional Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process has a unique operation wherein the ...

Optimizing Wastewater Treatment
' Growing volumes of both industrial and municipal wastewater are being discharged to surface waters but the treatment provided frequently is inadequate to protect the desired uses of the receiving waters. With limited resources in terms of both institutional capacity and finance, governments face difficult choices in optimizing their investments in municipal systems and establishing practical ...

Pollutants in Urban Wastewater and Sewage Sludge
Untitled Document Executive Summary Water policy in the European Union is aiming to promote sustainable water use and a major objective of the new Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) is the long-term progressive reduction of contaminant discharges to the aquatic environment in urban wastewater (UWW). Sewage sludge is also a product of wastewater treatment and the Urban Waste ...

Crown point wastewater treatment plant case study
Project Summary Due to capacity issues, the City of Crown Point was forced to either start planning for expensive capital expansions of the facility or to investigate alternative technologies that would increase capacity. In 2007 the City chose In-Pipe Technology to improve the treatment capacity of the plant without capital improvements. In-Pipe's goal is to improve the efficiency of the plant, ...

Sustainable wastewater treatment chemicals in a food processing plant
A food ingredients manufacturer was using an inorganic aluminium metal salt with pH correction to treat their effluent. This chemical regime refused to give them any real control over their effluent characterisation. Their effluent plant required constant monitoring and adjustment. The inability to control the characterisation of the effluent exiting the site meant non-compliance to the ...

A modelling system for wastewater treatment process evaluation and screening: methodology and case study
Considering nutrient reduction, China's wastewater treatment plants are facing the challenge to upgrade. A modelling system has been developed to screen suitable treatment processes, while statistical methods are not feasible due to data shortage. The system comprises a database to manage different treatment unit technologies, a module to generate candidate processes, a module to simulate ...

Energetic flexibility on wastewater treatment plants
In the future, an additional potential of control reserve as well as storage capacities will be required to compensate fluctuating renewable energy availability. The operation of energy systems will change and flexibility in energy generation and consumption will rise to a valuable asset. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are capable of providing the flexibility needed, not only with their ...
