Concept explainers

Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.

Quite often diversification is the key to success of almost anything we do, and wastewater treatment is no exception. For the following influent wastewater stream identified below, describe an alternative natural wastewater treatment scheme that could be used to treat the wastewater where a combination of nature-based unit processes are use along with the necessary unit operations required for stream discharge. The discharge from the treatment system should have an average BOD5 and TSS less than or equal to 20 mg/L, the ammonia level less than 0.5 mg/L and a dissolved oxygen level greater than 2 mg/L (Texas typical discharge limits into a stream). Do not design the systems, but identify the treatment train (step 1>>step 2>>step 3, etc. where "step # identifies the treatment step, such as the PIP) and then briefly describe what is occurring within each step of your proposed treatment train.
