Evaluation Of A Wastewater Treatment Plant

In order to address the issue of clean water availability, the objectives must address multiple levels of the social-ecological model simultaneously. Three overarching objectives will be addressed. 1) The current public water system must increase in capacity. The current public water system is small and up to 40% of households do not have access to the public water system (2). 2) Due to the rural nature of the population, expansion of the current system should begin

The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County have devised a system to provide wastewater management and have implanted ways to recycle a lot of this water. The three treatments are

The project shall install wastewater treatment system. The wastewater shall be treated to meet the effluent standard, then discharging out of the power plant and shall be connected by OWNER at 1m out of boundary of the power plant.

This plant is a South African Design and uses RO technology. The design of the plant was to minimise environmental impacts and the use of the chemical cleaners to favour the high tourism activities in the area. Seawater is used as the feedwater with a salinity level of about 39000mg/l. From this plant about 38% of the 250KL of sea water is treated daily and is converted into portable water.

If agriculture and industry decreased waste of water, it is clear that it would help to conserve potable water. So, it would be a good decision to use recycled water in these spheres because they do not require fresh water. Moreover, the price of recycled water is cheaper than imported water and desalination. Contorer (2010) believes that when the cost of potable water rises, the price of recycled water will go up more slowly than both imported water and desalinated water in spite of external factors. Also modern technology makes it possible to get safe drinking water satisfying all sanitary requirements as a result of disinfection with ultraviolet light. These two advantages related to safety and availability make recycling of water effective to use. Today Singapore has five treatment plants, which produce ultra-clean, high-grade Newater and able to meet 30 percent of total national demand. (Government of Singapore 2010)

The petitioner, Los Angeles County Flood Control District (District), controls a municipal separate store sewer system, also known as MS4, which was discharging polluted storm water into four rivers (Los Angeles River, San Gabriel River, Santa Clara River and Malibu Creek) that exceeded pollutant standards into navigable waters beginning 2002 or 2003. The MS4 is a system of conveyances that is designed to collect polluted storm water and discharge the water into navigable waters. It is not a combined sewer or a part of a sewage treatment plant. MS4 operates are required by the Clean Water Act (CWA) to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) permit before discharging water. The respondents, Natural

Water is a seemingly abundant source that is vital for basic life on Earth. This element not only acts as a catalyst for human survival but is constitutional for certain entities of architecture such as passive water cooling or permeable paving. Water is a renewable natural resource, but society’s uneconomical uses of this depleting resource may lead to a future of drought. Generally speaking, one of the main types of water is tap water, which is water that undergoes through of series of treatments that maintains a governmentally accepted water quality. In this paper, the resource of tap water will be analysed through its process of its development, social expectations and inevitable consequences that underlie in this resource.

This report provides analysis and evaluation of a newly designed wastewater treatment facility for Sand Valley, Nevada. Analysis will include Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) along with total, volatile, and fixed suspended solids. Methods for analysis will include the Winkler Test for BOD and a Hatch test for the suspend solids.

The new treatment plant will used an activated sludge process called the Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) Process, which consists of a continuous-flow suspended-growth process with an initial anoxic stage, followed by an aerobic stage; used to remove total nitrogen. During the study, the treatment scheme of the plant was as follows: a new head works building which includes an automatic screening, a grit chamber system, and pump station, followed by an odor control station, two Schreiber units (aeration basins/clarifiers that will be converted to anoxic tanks), two new aeration tanks (one currently in operation), four new clarifiers (two currently in operation), ultraviolet disinfection system, and a new post aeration system. At the time of the inspection, the sludge was treated in one aerobic digester tank, and then dewatered using a

As in the case of rural non-point source pollution; urban areas are not likely to fix all contamination problems with one system. While it may be possible to build a conventional sewage treatment facility that can handle any storm condition it is not likely that this will ever be cost feasible to do. One type of larger combined sewage system that is being tried in several locations around the county where proper topography allows is the aquatic marsh system. In this type of system sewage still goes through the primary treatment of separation out the larger solids. Once these solids have settled out it move on to the secondary treatment where it undergoes another process to remove biochemical oxygen demand. This is done through introducing

It is hard to imagine that the planet earth could possibly be experiencing an epic crisis of water deficiency. The earth is made up of 75 percent water. Why, if water is in such abundance, is it such a precious commodity? Some countries have begun to ration water, while others act as if there is an endless supply. The numbers are very deceiving, simply because the water that is in such short supply is fresh water, which is crucial for all aspects of life. According to Wright and Boorse (2005) "About 97.5% of all water is the saltwater of the oceans and seas. The remaining 2.5 percent is freshwater-water with salt content of less than 0.1 percent. This is the water on which most terrestrial biota, ecosystems, and humans depend. Of the 2.5 percent, though, two-thirds is bound up in the polar ice caps and glaciers. Thus, only 0.77 percent of all water is found in lakes, wetlands, rivers, groundwater, biota, soil, and the atmosphere. On a global level the largest amount of water is used for irrigation, nearly 70 percent, while industry uses 20 percent and actual human use is 10 percent.” (page 240) Healthy aquatic ecosystems are essential providers of food and several other important bi-products necessary for life. The world currently faces a water crisis, both of amount and purity, caused by a surge in world population, food production practices, living standards, and industrialization. Improvements in wastewater management have had a vital impact on the

In Australia, animals are major resources in the food production. They are different kinds of raring animals, which depend on the kind of outcome intended from the animal. There is the practice of poultry, which is done differently. There are chicken kept for eggs, these are the layers, and those kept for meat, which are the broilers. There are also cattle farming practiced in the country. Cattle are kept for either meat or dairy farming. For the dairy cattle, most farmers prefer to practice zero grazing.

The increase in the number of individuals in the planet has established a boom in technology, and industry, which advances the problems in the economy, and contributes to the degradation of the environment. Evidently, the treatment and collection of the wastewater in urban areas poses a critical problem especially in developing countries. Wastewater is a practice that has been taken on especially in urban areas where the domestic effluent pollutes surface water bodies creating health problems for the public. In another word, any water that has been affected by anthropogenic influence. And Wastewater can produce a group of activity that consists of domestic activity, industrial activity, commercial activity, surface runoff or storm water, and from sewer inflow or infiltration. Wastewater is the most important thing that can help people moving comfortably for example when it is raining. Especially, when vehicles move around the city this Wastewater can reduce the hazards of sliding vehicles at road. Also, wastewater can avoid wastefulness of water and can help the agriculture environment by irrigation. On the top of that, the wastewater will help grow the lands when planet growing that will reflect to the air and will get pure air. And all people can get purified water from waste water by

This project will be about the current technologies which are used in processing and disposal of produced water in the oil and gas industry. Produced water is conventionally treated through different physical, chemical, and biological methods. In offshore platforms because of space constraints, compact physical and chemical systems are used. This research will discuss different technologies of namely how to beneficially treat and dispose the produced water in order to eliminate or mitigate the negative effects of produced water on the environment.

The disposal of untreated wastewater coming from the industries into the water bodies will pollute the water bodies because of its high concentrations. So, the wastewater produced from the industry should be treated properly to meet the permissible limits given by central and state pollution control boards. Therefore it is necessary to treat the wastewater properly with the help of an appropriate treatment plant. However, the treatment plant even though properly planned may not work satisfactory because of several reasons. Hence, it is essential to evaluate the treatment plant considering individual treatment unit in the entire treatment flow. In the present work emphasis has been given to the study of the performance of treatment facilities because of its importance in the conventional treatment of wastewater. Hence, the literature review related to the evaluation of the entire treatment process along with biological treatment process particularly suspended growth process Activated Sludge Process (ASP), attached growth process Trickling Filter (TF) and a combination of the both suspended and attached growth process Hybrid Reactor (HR) is presented in the following sections of this chapter.
