Sludge Concentration

Bromma sewage treatment plant in Stockholm is the second largest plant in Stockholm and will in the near future have requirements for nitrogen removal. This means that a higher sludge age must be used in the aeration basin. This may be accomplished by an increase of the sludge concentration up to values until the limiting solids flux is exceeded. Measurement of the sludge blanket level is a possibility for better control of the sedimentation basin. Different measurements were performed to evaluate the main factors influencing the level. Dynamic simulation studies were performed at Bromma sewage treatment plant in Stockholm of the sludge blanket level and the return sludge concentration in a full-scale sedimentation basin. The simulations were performed with the help of a Danish simulation package, EFOR (1992), in which both reactions in the aeration basin (mainly based on the IAWPRC model) and separation processes in the sedimentation basin (both clarification and thickening) can be studied. The thickening model is based on the solids flux theory and the Vesilind formula (1979). Different methods were compared for determination and use of characteristic parameters in the Vesilind formula.

Abstract Worldwide, most of treatment system are retuning sidestreams (SSs) to the plant wastewater head without treatment, and some innovations are only treating centrate. In this study, an innovative process was established to separately treat all SSs away from plant mainstream and return treated sidestream effluents to plant wastewater outfall instead of wastewater head. This innovative process aims to eliminate SSs impacts on full scale A2/O sewage treatment plant. To do so, a novel pilot extended nutrient moving bed biofilm reactor (EN-MBBR) was developed to treat all SSs lines (supernatant gravity thickener, underflow mechanical thickener, and centrate), and SSs elimination on full scale A2/O system was simulated using GPS-X7. The results of two steps innovative treatment showed that 98, 98, 93, 100, 85, 100 and 98% of TSS, BOD, COD, NH4, NO3, H2S and PO4-P were removed from SSs, respectively. The two steps innovative treatment combined degradation, nitrification, and dilution processes. The simulation results proved that eliminating SSs has eliminated hydraulic and pollutants shocks, reduced the volumes of full scale A2/O facilities, and minimized cost and energy. Moreover, the calibrated model was validated with R values more than 0.8 and NMSE values close to zero. To conclude, the innovative process in this study successfully treated SSs separately and eliminated their impacts.

A full-scale sewage treatment plant was investigated to assess the performance of the disinfection stage. Sodium hypochlorite was used as a disinfectant agent and the process efficiency was evaluated by E.coli removal. The research took place over a period of two years in order to evaluate the effect of retention time (t) and residual chlorine (Cr) under different seasonal conditions. The effectiveness of E.coli removal with sodium hypochlorite proved to be strictly dependent on the factor CR  t (product of residual chlorine with the contact time). The regression line of the experimental points was, on the whole, well comparable with the model proposed by Collins, especially in the field of CRt lower than 30 mg L-1 min.

A test program for the use of fixed bed processes in systems for nitrogen removal at an advanced sewage treatment plant is described. Results from studies on nitrification in a full scale trickling filter plant with different filter depths and at different wastewater temperatures are presented. Results from full scale experiments with denitrification/nitrification in a retrofitted activated sludge plant are also presented. The effect of an aerated submerged fixed bed in the aeration basin on nitrification was investigated. Observations of the biofilm formed on the fixed bed were made in microscope.

Solids Content

The sewage treatment plant at Simmering, Vienna, has been operating since June 1980, together with the ‘EbS' plant for sludge treatment and disposal. This latter consisted of centrifuges, grinder dryers and fluidised bed incineration but due to difficulties with the grinder dryers it has never operated efficiently. Accordingly trials have been done using improved centrifuges and filter presses to increase the dry solids content of the cake fed to the incinerators without using the grinder dryers. It was found that all systems tried were an improvement on the existing but that the best result was achieved using a Centripress on preheated sludge conditioned by polyelectrolyte. The plant was converted to this system in 1987 and results of full-scale operation as well as test results are given in the paper.

Potable Reuse

There has been increasing interest in reuse of effluent from sewage treatment plants in Australia in recent years, not only for agricultural or land irrigation purposes but also for the provision of dual water supplies to residential areas for the non-potable purposes of toilet flushing, car washing, garden watering and park or other open space irrigation. The Rouse Hill development in the north west of Sydney is Australia's first full scale application of domestic non-potable reuse, with the sewage treatment plant and the dual water distribution system being commissioned in late 1994. This paper describes the Rouse Hill project as a whole including the reasoning behind the installation of the dual water supply system, the design of the sewage treatment plant, the effluent qualities achieved, the design of the dual water distribution system and the requirements of the regulatory authority, the NSW Environmental Protection Authority.

No sistema separador absoluto as águas pluviais e o efluente doméstico são transportados por canalizações distintas. Quando existem interferências entre esses dois sistemas impactos diretos encaminhados ao processo de tratamento de esgoto. Na estação de tratamento de Peixinhos, umas das principais da Região Metropolitana do Recife, PE, avaliou-se separadamente dias considerados secos e dias chuvosos, analisando parâmetros próprios para estes tipos de estudo: vazão de entrada, Demanda Bioquímica de Oxigênio, Demanda Química de Oxigênio, concentração de Óleos e graxas e a eficiência de tratamento. O aumento médio entre as vazões foi de 75 L.s-1, cerca de 19% da vazão de projeto. A DBO, DQO, OG tiveram sias concentrações reduzidas devido ao aumento de fluxo e a eficiência do tratamento foi reduzida em aproximadamente 5%, com diferenças significativas entre as duas populações, segundo teste estatístico de intervalo de confiança.  Evaluation of the influence of rainfall on the quality of biological sewage treatment and secondary decantation A B S T R A C TIn the absolute separator system, rainwater and domestic effluent are transported through different pipes. When there are interferences between these two systems, direct impacts are sent to the sewage treatment process. At the Peixinhos treatment plant, one of the main ones in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, PE, days considered dry and rainy days were evaluated separately, analyzing specific parameters for these types of studies: inlet flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Demand of Oxygen, concentration of oils and greases and treatment efficiency. The average increase between flows was 75 L.s-1, about 19% of the project flow. BOD, COD, OG had serious concentrations reduced due to increased flow and treatment efficiency was reduced by approximately 5%, with significant differences between the two populations, according to the statistical confidence interval test.Keywords: efficiency of sewage treatment plant, urban drainage, BOD, COD.
