Radionuclides in wastewater treatment plants: monitoring of Sicilian plants
Three Sicilian wastewater treatment plants were monitored to assess the occurrence and the behaviour of radionuclides. Two sampling campaigns (screening and long-term) were carried out during which liquid and solid samples have been analysed. It was found that 131I mostly occurred in the samples analysed during the screening campaign (43% of the analysed samples contained 131I). High ...

Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitors Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Case Study
Globally, little attention is paid to gaseous emissions from wastewater treatment processes. This contrasts greatly with the regulatory monitoring that is applied to the quality of water emissions from such facilities. However, in Helsinki, Finland, a large municipal wastewater treatment facility continuously monitors its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to help in the city’s efforts to ...

A modified anaerobic digestion process with chemical sludge pre-treatment and its modelling
Activated Sludge Models (ASMs) assume an unbiodegradable organic particulate fraction in the activated sludge, which is derived from the decay of active microorganisms in the sludge and/or introduced from wastewater. In this study, a seasonal change of such activated sludge constituents in a municipal wastewater treatment plant was monitored for 1.5 years. The chemical oxygen demand ratio of ...

Unraveling the Mysteries of Electromagnetic Flowmeters
Electromagnetic flowmeters (EMFs) have revolutionized the way we measure fluid flow, emerging as an invaluable tool in various industries, including water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, and chemical processing. Their non-intrusive nature, high accuracy, and wide range of applications have made them the go-to choice for many flow measurement applications. However, despite their widespread ...

Technical Focus: Sludge Blanket
Regardless of treatment process, sludge blanket control is an important aspect of any wastewater treatment plant, and correct monitoring and treatment of sludge is paramount for efficiency and cost control. Manual monitoring of sludge blanket levels is an occasional and often rushed method of control and can lead to inaccuracies being compounded over time, potentially leading to overspill into ...

4 Benefits of Industrial Wastewater Monitoring
Water quality monitoring has evolved significantly over the past decade. Today’s industrial manufacturers have access to technologies that are capable of monitoring various wastewater quality parameters and contaminants of concern in a simple and effective manner. A continuous stream of water quality information to a plant’s control system can provide significant value. Here are four ...

Application of ion-sensitive sensors in water quality monitoring
Abstract: Within the last years a trend towards in-situ monitoring can be observed, i.e. most new sensors for water quality monitoring are designed for direct installation in the medium, compact in size and use measurement principles which minimise maintenance demand. Ion-sensitive sensors (Ion-Sensitive- Electrode – ISE) are based on a well known measurement principle and recently some ...

Online Odors Monitoring in Waste Water Treatment Plants
Odors are very distinct air contaminants as they generate nuisances (see note at the end). The factors playing a role in the determination of odor annoyance are : odor concentration and intensity, frequency, appreciation, duration, synergy and location. Chromatotec proposes an automated solution to well identify the origin and the level of odors. Technology Description We offer a comprehensive ...

Application of Toxkit Microbiotests for Toxicity Evaluation of River Waters and Waste Waters in the Region of Warsaw in Poland
Abstract : The toxicity of surface waters (Vistula river in Warsaw) and of raw and treated wastewaters (treatment plants in Grodzisk Mazowiecki and in Piaseczno) has been measured at 2 occasions with 4 Toxkit microbiotests : the Algaltoxkit F™, the Daphtoxkit F™ pulex, the Thamnotoxkit F™ and the Protoxkit F™. Although the Vistula river is classified as being highly ...

Receiving water body quality assessment: an integrated mathematical approach applied to an Italian case study
This study presents a basin-scale approach to the analysis of receiving water body quality considering both point and non-point pollution sources. In particular, this paper describes an extensive data gathering campaign carried out in the Nocella catchment, which is an agricultural and semi-urbanised basin located in Sicily, Italy. Two sewer systems, two wastewater treatment plants and a river ...

Analysis of 65 pharmaceuticals and personal care products in 5 wastewater treatment plants in Portugal using a simplified analytical methodology
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are becoming increasingly recognised as important micropollutants to be monitored in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), since WWTP effluents represent an important point source to natural aquatic systems. In this study, the abundance of 65 PPCPs was analysed in 5 Portuguese WWTPs during the spring and autumn. Due to the fact that analytical ...
