Removal of pharmaceuticals with ozone at 10 Swedish wastewater treatment plants
Pilot-scale tests were run with ozonation for reduction of 24 pharmaceuticals at 10 full-scale wastewater treatment plants in southern Sweden. Reduction was evaluated based on doses of 3, 5 and 7 g O3/m3 at all plants. The reduction of pharmaceuticals reached on average 65% at 3 g O3/m3, 78% at 5 g O3/m3 and 88% for 7 g O3/m3 in terms of total concentration of pharmaceuticals. Specific ozone ...

Occurrence of earthy and musty odor compounds (geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole) in biologically treated wastewater
The concentrations of earthy and musty odor compounds (2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), geosmin and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA)) in treated wastewater were measured. Concentrations of 2,4,6-TCA (4.3–37.7 ng/L) and geosmin (3.7–42.2 ng/L) higher than their odor thresholds were detected for effluents from large-scale treatment plants. The effluent from a small-scale wastewater plant ...

Dewatering optimization with in-line and real-time measurement of polymer: results from full-scale treatment plants
Full-scale testing was carried out at two wastewater treatment plants to determine whether residual polymer concentration, measured by filtrate and centrate absorbance at 191 nm, can be used to identify the optimum polymer dose and achieve in-line and real-time dewatering optimization. The first plant uses high speed centrifuges and the second plant uses belt filter presses for dewatering. ...

Digging into the extracellular matrix of a complex microbial community using a combined metagenomic and metaproteomic approach
Knowledge about identity and function of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in complex microbial communities is sparse, although these components have a large influence on the function of the microbial communities. We investigated the presence of selected genes potentially involved in EPS production in a 145 Mbp metagenome prepared by Illumina sequencing from a full-scale wastewater ...

【Case Study】Great Solution for Septic Tank Sludge Management in Ukraine
Ultra-small VOLUTE Dewatering Press ES-051 largely solves all the costs and maintenance problems. In the year of 2004 in Ukraine, there was no compact sludge dewatering equipment suitable for small-scale wastewater treatment facilities like septic tanks. As for septic tanks, it had been common that liquid sludge was disposed by tanker truck and delivered to central sludge dewatering ...

Bioaugmentation as a tool to accelerate the start-up of anoxic-oxic process in a full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant at low temperature
Start up of anoxic-oxic process in a full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant at low temperature was studied in this paper. Bioaugmentation technology was used to accelerate the start up. Aeration rate and feed style of influent were also controlled as associated measure to reduce the negative effect of low temperature on start up. The results showed that the process was successfully ...

Biological waste management of leather tannery effluents in India: current options and future research needs
This paper reviews the major biological treatment methods applied for tannery effluents in India. Anaerobic methods and activated sludge process have been the preferred treatment options. Sequencing batch reactor process holds promise for tannery effluents but the technology is yet to see the light of the day in India. Design of aerobic systems needs major overhaul through modelling approaches of ...

Reinvent the toilet: the NUS experience of building a decentralized toilet for energy, water and resource recovery
In conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment of sewage, the pollutants are mostly dissipated and hardly any reuse is present. This makes wastewater treatment very energy intensive and not sustainable in the future. Instead, sewage should be considered as a renewable resource, from which value can be extracted in the form of water, energy and nutrients (mostly nitrogen, N, phosphorus, P and ...

Characteristics of nitrogen removal and microbial distribution by application of spent sulfidic caustic in pilot scale wastewater treatment plant
Publisher's note. We regret that the published version of this article erroneously denoted the first author as corresponding author; in fact the formal corresponding author of this paper is Professor Taeho Lee, whose address is repeated ...

Reuse of treated wastewater using sequencing batch bioreactor for the improvement of wheat growth
Reclaimed wastewater reuse for irrigation to crop plants is evaluated in a laboratory-scale experiment to assess growth and water saving potential from natural resources. A prototype laboratory-scale treatment plant was established for this purpose with suspended and attached growth configurations. Chakwal wheat variety was selected to examine growth parameters. The removal of chemical oxygen ...

Effect of recirculation on organic matter removal in a hybrid constructed wetland system
This research project aimed to determine the technologically feasible and applicable wastewater treatment systems which will be constructed to solve environmental problems caused by small communities in Turkey. Pilot-scale treatment of a small community's wastewater was performed over a period of more than 2 years in order to show applicability of these systems. The present study involves removal ...

Assessing the potential of a UV-based AOP for treating high-salinity municipal wastewater reverse osmosis concentrate
The UVC/H2O2 process was studied at laboratory scale for the treatment of one moderate (conductivity ∼8 mS/cm) and two high salinity (∼23 mS/cm) municipal wastewater reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) samples with varying organic and inorganic characteristics. The process efficiency was characterized in terms of reduction of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chemical oxygen demand ...

One-stage deammonification: nitrogen elimination at low costs
Biological nitrogen elimination used to purify wastewater with high nitrogen contents can become a major cost factor, in particular when the wastewater in question contains only little amounts of biologically degradable carbon compounds. The use of new biological conversion methods and the application of compact operation technology, however, does allow us to save operation and investment costs. ...

Kinetics of organic matter and ammonia removal in horizontal reed beds treating wastewater in Nepal
In Nepal, both horizontal bed and vertical bed subsurface flow constructed wetlands have been used for wastewater treatment. However, these units were designed based on the empirical findings from other countries. The rational design criteria developed so far has some limitations as the performance of the units is sensitive to the behaviour of the microorganisms, climatic conditions and other ...
