Wastewater Treatment Systems

In Japan, night soil, or black water, was formerly used as fertilizer for agriculture. However, during the rapid economic growth that took place after 1960, chemical fertilizers began to be adopted for agriculture and night soil was almost abandoned. How to treat the excess of night soil then became a big challenge to tackle. From that time a variety of night soil treatment technologies have been developed and the Japanese government has actively promoted the construction of night soil treatment facilities all over the country. As measures for domestic wastewater treatment, sewerage systems were spread in high-density urban areas, while a decentralized system called johkasou was diffused in rural areas with low population density. Johkasou is a unique system that was devised in Japan and mainly treats domestic wastewater on-site. Night soil treatment systems and decentralized wastewater treatment systems used in Japan are introduced in this paper, in the hope that the experience acquired in Japan will contribute to improve the sanitation conditions in other countries.

This paper reports about the results of an evaluation of selected sanitation systems in India. The following sanitation systems were evaluated: septic tanks, communal Ecosan systems, biogas toilets, solid immobilized biofilters, multiple stage filtration and decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS). The evaluation has been based on an initial assessment looking at whether the systems comply with their intended benefits, and more in depth evaluations on cultural, economic and/or hygienic aspects where the initial assessment has not provided sufficient knowledge. The evaluation showed that all sanitation systems were well accepted by the users. The highest hygienic risk is present in septic tanks, where sludge handling poses a high risk for persons handling it.

El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la eficiencia de las especies Cyperus Papyrus y Phragmites Australis en el tratamiento de aguas residuales con Humedales Artificiales a escala piloto de flujo libre superficial (FLS) en el agua para riego de Carapongo-Lurigancho. Para su evaluación se midieron parámetros como: DBO (270 mg/l); Coliformes totales y Coliformes Termotolerantes (16x107 NMP/100ml), pH (7.8); Temperatura (21°C), Turbidez (130 UNT); los cálculos necesarios como las dimensiones, tiempo de retención hidráulica y velocidad de flujo del sistema son una adaptación de Crites yTchobanoglous, llamado Small Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems. De acuerdo a la Categoría 3: Riego de vegetales y bebida de animales de los ECA para agua D.S. 002-2001.MINAM, los parámetros deben ser: DBO (15ml/L), Coliformes totales (5 000 NMP/100ml) y Coliformes Termotolerantes (1000 NMP/100ml), pH (6.5-8.5). La efectividad del sistema de humedales un 80% de remoción, mientras que para a la determinación de eficiencia de las especies, Cyperus Papyrus tiene mayor remoción en la calidad de DBO y turbidez un 77% mayor a Phragmites Australis, mientras ésta un 30 % mayor en la remoción Coliformes totales y Coliformes Termotolerantes.
