The Relationship

Waste management is a crucial process to keep the environment in wholesome conditions. The environmental impact of solid waste and wastewater is reduced through construction of appropriate disposal installations. The objective of wastewater treatment in biological reactors is to control the process of biomaterial growth by aerating the sewage content. The process is complex, as depending on a plenty of parameters. In the last decades an effective numerical model, called the Activated Sludge Model (ASM), has been proposed for describing the biological process. The ASM is implemented in the Benchmark Simulation Model (BSM) that simulates the whole wastewater treatment process. The most important parameters in ASM are the kinetic and stoichiometric coefficients. The former describes rate-concentration dependence. The latter characterises the relationship between the components of chemical reactions taking place in the cleaning process. Above parameters are determined by on-site calibration and their importance is relevant during the development of numeric models. This paper aims to examine the influence of kinetic and stoichiometric parameters on the wastewater treatment process of a plant in Płaszów, Kraków. The analysis is carried out by a sample-based numerical procedure. It highlights the ASM parameters playing a major role in the treatment process. Results obtained from the analysis are important for future validation and optimisation processes.

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) are impacted by down-the-drain influents of anthropogenic chemicals. These chemicals are in consumer products and include the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and antimicrobial triclosan (TCS). Characterization of the distribution of TBBPA, TCS and the TBBPA product tribromobisphenol A (tri-BBPA) was determined at five stages along the treatment process of a typical Canadian MWTP facility. Overall, the TCS concentrations for both liquid (influents, primary effluents and final effluents (FEs)) and solid samples (primary and waste activated sludges) were similar to reported ranges in the literature. In contrast to TCS, both TBBPA and tri-BBPA concentrations were scarcely available in the literature. The TBBPA concentrations were within literature ranges for both influents and sludges, while the tri-BBPA sludge concentrations were markedly higher than a single available previous study. Mass balances for TCS, TBBPA and tri-BBPA indicated 7, 9 and 42%, respectively, of each chemical remaining in the FEs. The resultant annual mass loadings into the Detroit River were estimated to be 3.3 kg, 6.57 g, and 21.5 g for TCS, TBBPA and tri-BBPA, respectively.

Reed Bed

In this paper, a feasible municipal wastewater treatment process, using the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) or the anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) as an anaerobic pre-treatment system, and the reed bed or the stabilization pond with supporting media as a post-treatment system, is presented and discussed. Results obtained in pilot- and full-scale treatment plants clearly reveal that the anaerobic treatment is indeed a very attractive option for municipal wastewater pre-treatment at temperatures exceeding 20C in tropical and subtropical regions. The UASB system has been commonly employed as an anaerobic pre-treatment system. The ABR provides another potential for the anaerobic pre-treatment. The effluents from the anaerobic treatment system should be post-treated to meet discharge standards. Because of the advantages of the reed bed system when it is employed for tertiary treatment, this system could be considered as a post-treatment system. Another cost-effective system, the stabilization pond packed with attached-growth media, is also a potential post-treatment system.
