Bacterial aerosol emission rates from municipal wastewater aeration tanks.
In this report we describe the results of a study conducted to determine the rates of bacterial aerosol emission from the surfaces of the aeration tanks of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago John E. Egan Water Reclamation Plant. This study was accomplished by conducting test runs in which Andersen six-stage viable samplers were used to collect bacterial aerosol sampl...
متن کاملCharacterization of aerosol emissions from wastewater aeration basins.
UNLABELLED The emission of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and ammonia (NH3) by aeration processes at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with and without odor control units was examined. Local concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and NH3 at the aeration basins were within urban ranges. Emission fluxes of NH3 and PM2.5 for a medium-sized WWTP were determined to be 136 g day(-1) and 43 g day(-1), ...
متن کاملSimulation of Oxygen Transfer Rates in Circular Aeration Tanks
Experiments were conducted to study the performance of circular and square tank surface aerators on the oxygen transfer coefficient and to a limited extent on power requirements. All the tanks are geometrically similar except for their shapes. They consist of a rotor of diameter, D, fixed with six flat blades rotating with a speed, N, in pure waters of viscosity, υ, at room temperature. A simul...
متن کاملMethane emission during municipal wastewater treatment.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants emit methane. Since methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, the abatement of the emission is necessary to achieve a more sustainable urban water management. This requires thorough knowledge of the amount of methane that is emitted from a plant, but also of the possible sources and sinks of methane on the plant. In this study, ...
متن کاملRemoval Efficiency of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Heavy Metal by Intermittent Cycle Extended Aeration System from Municipal Wastewater (Yazd-ICEAS)
Introduction: Sequential batch reactor (SBR) is one of the modified biological treatment systems which is able to remove BOD5, Nitrogen, and phosphorus from wastewater. The object of this study is to determine the removal efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals from municipal wastewater by the advanced SBR system. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectio...
