Wastewater Treament
Chapter 9
GROUP 7A
As a civilization developed and cities grew, domestic sewage and industrial waste were eventually discharged into
drainage ditches and sewers, and the entire contents emptied in the nearest watercourse.
Sanitary engineering technology for treating wastewater to reduce its impact on watercourses, pioneered in united
states and England, eventually became economically, socially, and politically feasible.
Wastewater
Wastewater, also written as waste water, is any water that has been adversely affected in quality
by anthropogenic influence. Wastewater can originate from a combination of domestic, industrial, commercial
or agricultural activities, surface runoff or stormwater, and from sewer inflow or infiltration.
-waste that has been used.
Includes :
(Food scraps, oil, and soaps)
Human wastes
Industrial wastes
Why is it important for wastewater treatment?
1. To remove pollutants from wastewater for its recycling.
2. To promote health concern and public hygiene.
3. To preserve aquatic life and wildlife
4. To promote recreation and quality of life.
Characteristics
Onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) is a broad term referring to any system for the collection, storage, treatment,
neutralization, or stabilization of sewage that occurs on the property.
Central Wastewater Treatment
-The objective of wastewater treatment is to reduce the concentrations of specific pollutants to the level at which the discharge of
the effluent will not adversely affect the environment or pose a health threat.
3 Advance WastewaterTreatment
Primary Treatment
Primary treatment of sewage by quiescent settling allows separation of floating material and heavy solids from liquid waste. The
remaining liquid usually contains less than half of the original solids content and approximately two-thirds of the BOD in the form of
colloids and dissolved organic compounds.[2] Where nearby water bodies can rapidly dilute this liquid waste, primary treated sewage
may be discharged so natural biological decomposition oxidizes remaining waste.[3]
Settling Tank Design and Operation
Gravitational settling is, as has been noted, one of the most efficient mean of separating solids from surrounding
liquid. Solid/liquid separation can be achieved this way as long as the solid are more dense than the liquid.
SECONDARY TREATMENT
is a treatment process for wastewater (or sewage) to achieve a certain degree of effluent quality by using a sewage treatment
plant with physical phase separation to remove settleable solids and a biological process to remove dissolved and suspended
organic compounds. After this kind of treatment, the wastewater may be called as secondary-treated wastewater.
The objective of secondary treatment is to remove BOD, whereas the objective of primary treatment is to remove solids.
Trickling filter
Trickling filter was a well-established treatment system at the beginning of the twentieth century. Consists of a filter bed of fist-sized
rocks over which the waste is trickled. An artificial bed of broken rock or other coarse material through which sewage or industrial
wastes trickle after being sprayed on intermittently so that organic matter present is oxidized and removed by biological growths
formed on the surfaces of the rock.
Biological Process Dynamics Applied to the Activated Sludge System
The organic materials in the influent meet two fates in an activated sludge system. Most are oxidized to CO2 and
water, but some high energy compounds are used to build new microorganisms. The latter are known as substrate
in biological process dynamics.
TERTIARY TREATMENT
The purpose of tertiary treatment (also called "advanced treatment") is to provide a final treatment stage to further improve the
effluent quality before it is discharged to the receiving environment (sea, river, lake, wet lands, ground, etc.). Tertiary treatment may
include biological nutrient removal (alternatively, this can be classified as secondary treatment), disinfection and removal of
micropollutants, such as environmental persistent pharmaceutical pollutants.
Environmental persistent pharmaceutical pollutants (EPPP) are a group of pollutants which can lead to water
pollution, groundwater pollution or soil contamination.
Involves in treatment to an extent it can be released to paces that has a delicate ecosystem.
This clean water can also be recycled into the natural resources and supply once more
The tertiary treatment is the advanced treatment. Here those constituents are removed which
were not possible through primary or secondary process.
After tertiary treatment, the wastewater is put trough disinfection progress.
