Sludge Waste

One of the results of the water treatment process is the sludge. Generally, the processed sludge from the water treatment is collected and delivered to a landfil. With the delivery of sludge waste, it requires additional cost as a levy in handling sludge waste. Therefore, it is needed to innovate on the recycling of sludge. The waste recycling process is expected to minimize the residual impact of the Water Treatment Plant. The process of waste recycling can be done by utilizing sludge from water treatment, which is brick making process. The benefits can eliminate environmental problems and also some economic problems. This study aims to determine the potential of sludge from water treatment plant to be added for brick making by investigating the physical and characteristics of sludge. The research findings show that sludge waste has the potential to become a brick raw material depending on the nature and clay microstructure

The research presented in this manuscript concerns the evaluation of the effectiveness of microstrainers, which are designed to reduce the amount of plankton in treated surface water. The efficiency of microstrainer filtration analysis is very important for the proper course of the water-treatment process not only in the Water-Treatment Plant (WTP) in Zielona Góra (central western Poland) but also in other WTPs around the world. The qualitative and quantitative monitoring of the abundance of plankton including cyanobacteria during the particle-filtration process allows not only for the assessment of the potential cyanotoxic risk in surface water providing a source of drinking water, but also allows the evaluation of the action and the prevention of adverse impacts of microstrainers. Over four years of research, it was observed that the largest amount of cyanobacteria before microstrainer filtration took place in May. The dominant species was Limnothrix redeckei. The microstrainer removal of plankton and cyanobacteria was statistically significant. The quantity of removed plankton increased with its increasing content in raw water. The particle-filtration process, by reducing the amount of cyanobacteria, contributes to a decrease in intracellular microcystins.

One of the main hazards of human life and health is the presence of pesticides in the aquatic system is. The Karun River is the surface water source in the preparation of drinking water for the city of Ahvaz city at the Ahvaz Water Treatment Plant (AWTP) #2. This study was done in order to investigate the statue of qualification and the quantification of the contamination of water entering into (AWTP #2) by selected organochlorine pesticides [(α, β, γ, δ )HCH, heptachlor, alderin, dielderin, (op’ , pp’ ) DDT, (α, β) endosulfan and metoxychlor], plus the water treatment effects on these pesticide residues removal. For this purpose, one composite sample from each of the water treatment process steps was taken monthly which was comprised of 20 grab samples in 2008. Water samples were acidified to pH < 2, extracted three times with n-hexane, and concentrated using a rotary vacuum evaporator for Florisil column chromatography cleanup and fractioned by elution with three different solvent mixtures of petroleum and diethyl ether. Finally, the elutes were concentrated to dryness using rotary vacuum evaporator and then the residues were dissolved in hexane and analyzed by GC- μECD. All 12 investigated organochlorine pesticides were detected. Results of this study indicated that concentration of investigated pesticides decreased (according to the kind of pesticide) by 20% to 80% and the mean of total concentration was reduced by 49% during water treatment process steps. There was a significant positive correlation (r=97.75%) between variation in the concentration of poisons and the total organic matter (KMnO4 value).

Abstract This research focuses on characterizing the dissolved organic matter found at water treatment plants with closed systems. Recycled water generated as a by-product of water treatment is added to raw water in those systems. The dissolved organic matter in the raw water was found to be higher in summer than in winter, but the water treatment process was able to produce purified water of the similar quality in both seasons. The recycled water contained mostly low molecular weight and protein-like substances, and this composition was different from that of the raw water, which mainly contained humic-like substances. The recycled water did not influence the concentration of humic-like substances or the molecular weight distribution in the influent water.

Reuse Options

Large quantities of sludge are produced during the conventional processes of coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation in water treatment plants. The volume of sludge generated during water treatment process can be as high as 2% of the total volume of water treated. The cost of treatment and the disposal of the sludge plays a significant part of a water treatment plant. As the disposal of sludge produced from water treatment plants is highly expensive and difficult, valuable reuse options have been proposed to remove the sludge. In India, there are numerous emanating treatment plants bringing about mounting of sludge. It is very difficult and expensive to transfer the sludge from treatment plant. The more waste generated by the plants creates environmental problems of toxic threat. The treated waste sludge materials can be used as a replacement of fine aggregate to minimize the landfills is one of a cost-effective solution to this problem. There is a lack of conventional construction materials such as cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate due to the rapid increase in construction activities. To find replacement materials in construction many research have been conducted. The usage of treated sludge as a fine aggregate in construction material is an environmentally friendly option for the disposal sludge generated by water treatment industry.

Water management is a key pillar of sustainable development. Indeed, the rational use of water has become a condition for new investments in the water sector as many sectors. Optimizing the production of drinking water is one aspect. This optimization involves not only the choice of water resource use but also the management of by-products of the water treatment process to manage sustainably the exploited water resources. The city of Meknes is watered from two sources and a set of holes (14), the turbidity of water sources can vary depending on rainfall recorded in the region. A water treatment plant (600 l/s) was performed for the purification of water sources. Through this study, we focus on modeling of sludge volume produced by this plant.  The objective is to design a model for calculating the sludge volume from the actual data recorded in the plant. The model ca be used by the operator to predict the sludge volume and can be used also by the designers. The results of this study demonstrated that the volumes calculated from the model constructed considering the data recorded at the station perfectly match the volumes produced with a determination coefficient of 100%. The application of this model can not only provide the operator with an effective tool for managing of the station by-products but also to provide designers with a formula to prevent over/under design of structures. Therefore, these measures help to optimize the cost of production of drinking water and will play an important role in the sustainable development of water resources.
