evaluation and modeling of the wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) have to be based on thefact that the pollutant concentrations and flow rates change constantly. in addition, different approaches mustused due to there are different processes in a wwtp. a mexican petrochemical complex has a wwtp thatprocesses wastewaters from several petrochemical plants, where the flow rates and pollutant conce...

On-site wastewater treatment poses a challenging problem for engineers. It requires a balance of appropriate levels of technology and the operational complexity necessary to obtain high-quality effluent together with adequate reliability and simplicity to accommodate infrequent maintenance and monitoring. This review covers how these issues have been addressed in on-site wastewater treatment in...

The membrane bioreactor (MBR) integrates well within the conventionally activated sludge system regarding advanced membrane separation for wastewater treatment. Over the last decade, a number of MBR systems have been constructed worldwide and this system is now accepted as a technology of choice for wastewater treatment especially for municipal wastewater. The aim of this work was to investigat...

A photocatalytic rotating disc reactor (PRD-reactor) with TiO₂ nanowire arrays deposited on a thin Ti plate is fabricated and tested for industrial wastewater treatment. Results indicate that the PRD-reactor shows excellent decolorization capability when tested with methyl orange (>97.5%). Advanced oxidation processes (AOP), including photocatalytic oxidation and photolytic reaction, occurred d...

this research, in addition to survey the existing data on the quality of sahebgharanieh wastewater treatment plant's effluent in the previous years, by runing a three months monitoring stage, studies the conditions of the final settling and aeration basin and the variations of the influent and effluent quantity and quality in removing of major pollutants (bod, cod, tss), while scrutinizing the ...

Despite the wide variety of effective disinfection and wastewater treatment techniques for removing organic and inorganic wastes, pollutants such as nitrogen remain in wastewater effluents. If left untreated, these nitrogenous wastes can adversely impact the environment by promoting the overgrowth of aquatic plants, depleting dissolved oxygen, and causing eutrophication. Although nitrification/...

Natural steroidal estrogen hormones, e.g., estrone (E1), 17beta-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and 17alpha-estradiol (17alpha), are released by humans and livestock in the environment and are the most potent endocrine disrupters even at nanogram per liter levels. Published studies broadly conclude that conventional wastewater treatment is efficient in the removal of 17beta-estradiol (85-99%), bu...

Abstract. A pilot plant for treating 1,000m of textile dyeing wastewater per day with electron beam has constructed and operated continuously in Daegu, Korea since 1998. This plant is combined with biological treatment system and it shows the reduction of chemical reagent consumption, and also the reduction in retention time with the increase in removal efficiencies of CODCr and BOD5 up to 30~4...
