abstract

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. methods: this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted on advanced sbr in yazd city wastewater treatment plant during a one-year period (from september, 2014 until august, 2015). the samples were collected from the influent and effluent of the advanced sbr as a composite in order to measure bod5, tkn, nh4+, tp parameters, and heavy metals monthly. also, statistical t-test was used to compare heavy metals quantities with standard ones. results: the results showed that the mean of removal efficiency of bod5, tkn, nh4+, and tp were 92.24, 80.36, 90.41, and 66.41 percent, respectively. also, the removal efficiency of iron (fe), plumbum (pb), nickel (ni), zink (zn), chromium (cr), and cadmium (cd) were 47.77%, 40.71%, 24.79%, 12.29%, 5.70%, and 5.65%, respectively. conclusion: the high removal efficiency of bod5, tkn, and nh4+ showed that this advanced sbr system had an appropriate efficiency for nitrification. phosphorus removal (tp) had a lower efficiency than those of nh4+ and tkn, but it was within the environmental standard limits. on the other hand, in the advanced sbr the removal efficiency of heavy metals for cd was not within the standard limits.

Performance Evaluation of the Extended Aeration Activated Sludge System in the Removal of Physicochemical and Microbial Parameters of Municipal Wastewater: A Case Study of Nowshahr Wastewater Treatment Plant

Introduction: Extended aeration activated sludge system has a lower sludge production than other activated sludge processes. Due to its high hydraulic retention time (HRT), the tolerance of this process is higher than the shocks caused by increased organic loading rate. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the aeration system in removing physicochemical and mi...
