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 ...

An approach to wastewater treatment in organised industrial districts: a pilot-scale example from Turkey
In this study, a detailed wastewater profile and treatability studies of Demirtas Organized Industrial District (OID) were undertaken on a pilot-scale. The industrial categorisation of Demirtas OID was determined, and the wastewater characterisations of each industrial sector were analysed and the flow-rates were measured. The results were used to design a wastewater treatment plant for Demirtas ...

Determination of conventional velocity gradient (G) using CFD technique for a pilot-scale flocculation system
Achieving uniform mixing conditions are essential for the flocculation process to optimize floc size and avoid floc-breakup. Limited literature is available on establishing consistent operational conditions and procedures for pilot-scale flocculation systems, which have tank sizes smaller than full-scale and larger than jar-test equipment. In this study, the influence of mixing speeds on the ...

Wire manufacturing facility - Case Study
Bench-Scale Stormwater Treatment Study A large wire manufacturer in Washington State asked Dungeness Environmental to perform a treatability study on their stormwater run-off. The run-off requires remediation prior to discharge for turbidity, zinc, copper and lead concentrations. Dungeness performed an initial screening test in the lab simulating a variety of water treatment techniques for an ...

Full-scale wastewater treatment plant simulation for real-time optimization
A dynamic simulation model has been developed and validated for the 1.4 million p.e. capacity Budapest Central Wastewater Treatment Plant to support intensification, process development and risk assessment. By the integration of both the biological and physico-chemical processes the technological design of separated units becomes possible as well as the exploration of the connections within ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Characteristics of natural organic matter and formation of chlorination by-products at Masaka waterworks
To minimise the formation of chlorination by-products (CBPs) it is imperative that attention is directed towards the structure and occurrence of natural organic matter (NOM) in raw water sources, and its flow and fate during water treatment processes. In this study, an assessment of the characteristics and flow of NOM along the treatment train at the full scale treatment plant at Masaka, Uganda, ...

Trihalomethane formation in ozonated and chlorinated surface water
Abstract The relatively recent discovery of disinfection by-products has driven the main regulatory organisms to set maximum contaminant levels for certain substances in drinking water. Trihalomethanes can be deemed as the most important group of by-products in chlorinated surface waters. The present work has focused on trihalomethane formation in a full-scale water treatment plant. We studied ...

Effect of pH on selective decomposition of target water contaminants onto porous TiO2 photocatalyst
Non-selectivity of TiO2-based photocatalysis is a known drawback of this technology for full scale water treatment applications. It results in significant decline in decomposition of toxic target contaminants when other non-toxic organic compounds such as natural organic matter (NOM) compete in the reaction. Previously, size exclusion of large NOM onto the mesoporous structure of TiO2 ...

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 ...

Times are changing: Wastewater as a resource
Times are definitely changing. It used to be that wastewater from whatever source – domestic, agricultural, industrial – was something to collect and pipe away as quickly and efficiently as possible. There was more water coming out of the ground or falling from the sky, so why bother investing time and money cleaning water that had already been used? Now, thanks to issues like ...

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 ...

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 ...

Key issues of ultrafiltration membrane water treatment plant scale-up from laboratory and pilot plant results
Industrial-scale ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems have gained wide acceptance for producing safe drinking water. Laboratory and pilot plant studies are often carried out prior to the design of full-scale water treatment plants. Emphases are laid on how accurately these laboratory and pilot plant studies represent actual industrial-scale systems and the limitations. A case study which ...
