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.

Nowadays, in spite of the high treatment capacity in the Netherlands, problems relating to the treatment of municipal waste water are still not completely solved. They are related to stricter effluent requirements, environmental nuisance, sludge disposal and the costs of waste water purification. A research programme entitled “Future Treatment Techniques for Municipal Waste Water” or briefly “RWZI 2000” is being carried out to develop and evaluate potential treatment techniques in different stages of development. These techniques must result in a better performance from the point of view of environmental protection and/or lower annual treatment costs than the technology available at present. In the paper a description is given of the studies carried out and the results obtained will be presented with respect to the problems occurring in the treatment of municipal waste water.

An understanding of the waste water nature, from both the qualitative and quantitative points of view, is a fundamental factor in the selection of treatment techniques and their subsequent operation. This is even more so in the case of small communities whose discharges are more subject to variation. An analysis of French data in this field provides values for small communities in rural areas (the majority). So far as other communities are concerned there are three examples which particularly illustrate the effects of the different factors (way of life…) on specific loads.

The Process of production of textile or wet treatment and finishing processes of textile materials are huge consumers of water with high quality. As a result of these various processes, considerable amounts of polluted water are released. The project emphasis on the problem of environmental protection against waste water generated by the industry. The selection of the purification method depends on the composition and types of waste water. Plant extracts are used as natural coagulants for decolorizing the dye effluents. Removal of toxic substance from the discharged effluent is paramount. Chemical treatment techniques are effective for color removal but require more energy and expensive than biological process. They contaminate the environment and require additional cost for disposal.

Dyes are among the class of compounds considered dangerous to aquatic flora and fauna, thus it is important to treat waste water contaminated by this substances. Among different treatment techniques, adsorption shows an efficient and inexpensive method for treating large amount of waste. Babassu coconut charcoal (BCC) arises as an alternative to charcoal production, because it is a quite biomass found in several of Brazil. The BCC was treated with citric acid and the babassu coconut charcoal modified with citric acid (BCCMod) was used in the adsorption tests with the methylene blue (MB). The results show that citric acid acted on the charcoal surface without being incorporated into their structure. The adsorption kinetics in this study is governed by the pseudo-second-order model, where the amount adsorbed in the equilibrium was 1.5424 mg g-1 agreement with the value calculated for this model 1.5625 mg g-1. Among the models employed in this study for adsorption isotherms, what better applied to the experimental data was the Langmuir model, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9870.

For reclamation of waste water treatment plant (wwtp) effluent, conventional water treatment techniques used in drinking water supply may be suitable. Earlier studies and experiments showed that the most promising cost-effective conventional techniques to polish wwtp effluent are coagulation and rapid multi-media filtration (direct filtration). In the past 4 years these techniques were tested in long term experiments on pilot scale (5-10 m3/h) at several waste water treatment plants in The Netherlands. For successful application of direct filtration for the removal of suspended solids and colloidal material careful consideration is needed with the coagulation conditions. However additional treatment is required to meet the standards for household and process water with respect to ammonium, colour, pathogens and (biodegradable) organic substances.

On the basis of a literature study the sources and pathways of water, nitrogen and phosphor are identified. The mean annual load is related to the number of inhabitants and given in mass or volume per capita and year. The toilets are identified as predominant sources of N and P. 60% of nitrogen and 80% of phosphor are concentrated in 2 liters or 1% of the water flow. The drainage system is a diluting system. The introduction of waste water separation at the source is recognized to be most effective to improve the surface waters quality. Innovative source separating technologies are recommended for modern drainages' future.
