The purpose of this study was to examine how efficient a biological treatment process is in purifying car wash waste waters. Two Finnish automatic car washes having rotating bed biofilm reactors for waste water treatment were included in the study. Both of them are using 87 % of recycled water per car wash and only from 35 to 60 liters of fresh water. Samples were taken from the purified water tank every second week altogether seven times between the beginning of February and the end of May, 2012. The reduction of surfactants was at least 95 % and reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) between 87 and 95 % during the sampling period. Outdoor temperature seems not to have any significant effect on purification efficiency. Other water quality parameters such as conductivity, pH, oxygen concentration, total solids, and biological oxygen demand (BOD) were found to be on acceptable level based in comparison to values found in the literature. The high concentration of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the purified water was caused by nutrients added to the bioreactor for optimal conditions for the microbes. In the studied car washes, the waste water treatment process managed to reduce input load considerably. The main challenges for the quality of purified water seems to be optimal nutrient input as well as on-line monitoring system for water quality.

Analysis of possibilities of the existing urban waste water treatment techniques has been presented. It is mentioned that the problem of the beat available techniques choice is inseparably linked with correction of the current normalizing system in terms of composition of not only treated waste waters but also in terms of requirements to enterprises that dispose water into a sewage network.

Retaining of water resources quality is one of the global ecological problems of the modern time. The most promising direction in solving the problem of water resources protection is the reduction of negative environmental influence of waste water from production facilities by upgrading the existing water treatment technologies. To treat utility water, technical and rain water from site facilities of Transneft system entities, the specialists developed and approved standard technological diagrams, which are used in producing treatment facilities. The standard technological diagrams provide for all necessary stages of waste water treatment ensures the reduction of pollution level to normal values. However, during operation of treatment facilities it was established, that to ensure the required quality of waste water treatment with initially high levels of pollution, the new technological solutions are necessary. The author presents the results of scientific-research work, in the context of which the best affordable technologies were identified in the area of the treatment of waste water with increased content of pollutants and non-uniform ingress pattern. On the basis of the research results the technical solutions were developed for optimization of operation of existing waste water treatment facilities by means of using combined treatment of technical and rain waters and utility waste waters and applying bioreactor with movable bed – biochips. The use of bioreactor with movable bed allows the increase in the area of active surface, which facilitates increase and retention of biomass. Biochips are completely immersed into waste waters, and biofilm is formed on the entire volume of immersion area, facilitating retention of biomass and preventing formation of sediments. Due to mixing the floating device with biofilm constantly moves along the whole area of bioreactor, and, in doing so, speeds up biochemical processes and uniformity of treatment. The advantages of a bioreactor with movable bed – its active sludge durability against increased and changing pollutant concentrations, change of waste water temperature and simplicity of application – ensured the possibility of its use for blending utility waters, technical and rain waters.

This work demonstrates a possibility of composting of municipal waste waters sludge (WWS) digested during 5-7 days, of the Kuryanovo waste water treatment plants (the city of Moscow) without the use of traditional organic additives – sawdust, peat, thatch. As a recycling filler (repeatedly used), enhancing the porosity of the composted mixture, ribbed polyethylene spheres (∅=8 cm) and wood chips (having dimension of 5-10 cm) were used. Composting was performed efficiently in both cases, however, the use of wood ships had technological and economical advantages. The process of composting was carried out during 2-4 weeks and was composed of classical phases of active heating (a rate of 0.2-0.3oC/h was obtained), maintaining of maximum temperature during 1-2 days, and cooling down to the ambient temperature. During the course of composting, a product was obtained, having attractive organoleptic properties, suitable for application in municipal laying-out of greenery.

Waste Water Treatment Plants

Irrigation periods are usually limited to vegetation periods. The quality requirements for treated wastewater for disposal and for reuse are different. The reuse of water for irrigation allows partly the reuse of the wastewater's nutrients (N and P). Outside the irrigation period the water must be treated for disposal, thus nutrient removal is often required in order to avoid detrimental effects on the receiving surface water body. Only wastewater treatment plants with different operation modes for different seasons can realise these requirements. The nitrification is the most sensitive biological process in the aerobic wastewater treatment process. At low water temperatures the nitrifying bacteria need several weeks to re-start full nitrification after periods without NH4-removal. Therefore it is necessary to develop options for waste water treatment plants which allow a fast re-start of the nitrification process. Based on theoretical considerations and computer simulations of the activated sludge treatment process, one possibility for implementing a wastewater treatment plant with different seasonal operation modes is evaluated.

The scarcity of water and increasing water pollution are the pressing challenge human being facing. Recovering water and valuable heavy metals is highly desired for treating heavy metal containing wastewater. We proposed a novel hydrate-based process to treat Ni2+ containing wastewater. The water recovery, Ni2+ enrichment factor, desalination efficiency were studied using this cyclopentane hydrate-based method. A water recovery of 43% can be obtained with a desalination efficiency of round 88% and an enrichment factor of 1.6. The desalination efficiency and the quality of the as-made water via the hydrate-based process can be further improved to above 99% via three-stage hydrate reaction. The proposed hydrate-based water treatment process may find wide applications in waste water treatment and heavy metal recycling.
