Reclamation and reuse programs are an indispensable part of integrated water resource management, particularly in arid and semi arid regions. Yet, the feasibility of sustainable application not only is relied on design, operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment plants, but also could be influenced by the economical and environmental aspects of reuse demands. This study is aimed to illus...

Many reclamation treatments as well as integrated processes for the purification of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) have already been proposed and developed but not led to completely satisfactory results, principally due to complexity or cost-ineffectiveness. The olive oil industry in its current status, composed of little and dispersed factories, cannot stand such high costs. Moreover, these trea...

(Hydro)thermal treatments of sewage sludge from wastewater treatment process can significantly reduce waste volume and transform sludge into valuable products such as pyrochar and hydrochar. Given the global concern with phosphorus (P) resource depletion, P recycling/reclamation from or direct soil application of the derived chars can be potential P recycling practices. In order to evaluate P r...

Wastewater reclamation and its reuse for beneficial purposes is a common goal in all countries particularly in water stressed countries around the world. Cutting edge technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO), micro and ultra filtration etc. are often used to purify wastewater effluent generated in conventional systems. However, the rejected wastewater from these processes is usually laden with...

Purpose: analysis of foreign practices in the use treated household wastewater irrigation reclamation. The usage is widespread regions with a shortage water resources, as well an arid climate. These are India, Italy, France, Spain, Israel, Jordan, USA, Poland, Africa, Central, South and Southeast Asia (Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia Vietnam). Discussions. Currently, there significant in...
