Aliphatic And Aromatic Hydrocarbons

VOCs emitted by two composting static piles of biosolids coming from the “El Salitre” wastewater treatment plant (Bogotá, Colombia) were analysed during the composting process. Each pile in its sampling time was maintained with a different aeration system. The sampling was made using Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME); separation and identifications were made using Gas Chromatography (GC) coupled to Mass Spectrometry (MS). Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated compounds, ketones, mercaptans, alcohols and amines were identified in concentrations greater than the norms stipulated by the EPA for inhalation in humans beings. The emission behavior varied according to the aeration system used.

Current Operation

Several methods of wastewater treatment systems are implemented but among these methods activated sludge process is demonstrating process in Malaysia. Fortunately, numbers of studies have been conducted to treat and remove either nitrogen or combined phosphorus and nitrogen resulted in enhancement removal of nutrients worldwide. This research aims to study the current operation in Mawar wastewater treatment plant and monitor the reduction of several parameters. The research also examines the new standard limits of effluents. From the result obtained, the monitoring of Mawar wastewater treatment plant indicates that influent concentration of majority of the parameters were in small. Despite that, the removal efficiency of several parameters was not high. That was basically because to the need of proper maintenance activities. Besides, the concentration of measured parameters in the aeration tank inlet were small. Comparison of Mawar wastewater to the typical composition of untreated domestic sewage indicated that the wastewater in Mawar wastewater treatment plant is classified as weak wastewater. The enhancement of nitrogen removal resulted in Mawar wastewater treatment plant led to decrease the removal efficiency of several parameters.

Urban Wastewater Treatment

This paper reports the results of a series of off-gas tests aimed at monitoring the evolution of the oxygen transfer efficiency in an urban wastewater treatment plant (3,500 population equivalent) located in Tuscany (Italy). The tests were conducted over a 2-year period starting with the testing of the aeration system. It was found that in the absence of membrane-panel cleaning operations, the oxygen transfer efficiency under standard conditions in process water (αSOTE) dropped from 18 to 9.5% in 2 years. This gives rise to a 40% increase in the wastewater treatment plant annual energy costs. The on-site chemical cleaning of the diffusers allowed for an almost total recovery of the transfer efficiency (αSOTE equal to 16%). The use of the off-gas method for monitoring the oxygen transfer efficiency over time is therefore essential for enabling correct planning of the cleaning operations of the diffusers and for cutting the energy consumption and operating costs of the aeration system.

The One

Successful start-up of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a key issue for the succeeding operation of WWTP on the one hand and the nutritious phosphorus removal is of great concern on the other. After the construction of Mudanjiang WWTP with a flow rate of 100,000 m3 d-1 in Heilongjiang Province of China, a novel way of start-up through feeding wastewater continuously into the system was attempted against the conventional start-up method of inoculating activated sludge in the aeration tank by feeding wastewater intermittently. Activated sludge was cultivated and proliferated in the aeration tanks instead of dosing acclimated sludge from other source. After one-month’s start-up operation, MLSS, SV and SVI increased to 2.5 kg m-3, 30% and nearly 80% respectively, which indicated that quick and simple start-up had been achieved. After successful start-up, an investigation into phosphorus removal was conducted with the emphasis on influencing factors such as ORP and NOx-N concentration etc. When the aeration tank was switched from aerobic to anaerobic mode, phosphorus removal efficiency of 80% could be realized within the whole treatment system. Experimental results revealed that an ORP of -140 mV and NOX-N of 2 mg l-1 were critical for the anaerobic phosphorus release, and DO in the range of 1.7-2.5 mg l-1, BOD5/TP of 20-30 and SVI of 70~80 as well as SRT of 5 days were the optimal phosphorus removal conditions for the aeration tanks.
