In recent years, irrigating agricultural land with wastewater has become a major wastewater management practice. Irrigation has replaced much of the discharge to streams and conventional primary and secondary waste treatment for food processing wastewater (4, 11, 12, 13). Irrigating agricultural land for treatment and disposal of the food processing wastewater is a good practice if the wastewat...

The wastewater from petroleum industries contains high organic matter content, oil and grease, dissolved solids and turbidity. The petroleum wastewater normally treated in a plant comprising of primary, secondary and tertiary treatments. The high organic loading needs to be treated in biological treatment step. Biological treatment can be suspended growth or attached growth type. Activated slud...

In the work issues related to modeling of the biological-chemical wastewater treatment plant are presented. A commonly-used control strategy including model predictive control of the wastewater treatment plant are presented. Then a model of biological and chemical transformations AMS1 is described and its limitations are pointed out. Then the feed-forward neural networks are introduced. The per...

background and purpose: disposing sludge from industrial wastewater treatment plants (iwwtps) is a serious issue because it can affect human and animals health, and also environmental quality. in this study, sludge from an iwwtp was analyzed regarding its physicochemical characteristics and disposal options. materials and methods: grab sampling was used to collect 12 sludge samples biweekly (ma...

This study examined the biodegradation of RDX in wastewater from an industrial wastewater treatment plant at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, TN. Serum bottles containing 100 ml of a basal salts medium amended with 10 percent (v/v) sludge from the anoxic filter at the plant were amended with RDX and incubated under methanogenic conditions. Biodegradation intermediates correspondi...

This paper considers control structure selection for a biological wastewater treatment process, with emphasis on identifying controlled variables that contribute to minimize economic costs. This is achieved according to the selfoptimizing procedure proposed by Skogestad (2000). The aim is to demonstrate how, with simple considerations on the control structure design, the efficiency of a wastewa...

In this paper we present an environmental decisionsupport system (named DAI-DEPUR+) and a reactive linear planner (named WaRP), and their application to the wastewater domain. The environmental decision-support system: receives and processes onand off-line information about a wastewater treatment process. uses this information for selecting and revising models of the treatment-system dynamics. ...

Broad-host-range plasmids are frequently associated with antibiotic resistance genes and can quickly spread antibiotic resistant phenotypes among diverse bacterial populations. Wastewater treatment plants have been identified as reservoirs for broad-host-range plasmids carrying resistance genes. The threat of broad-host-range plasmids released into the environment from wastewater treatment plan...
