Prompted by the constructed wetland without long-term stable operation and anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) with higher suspended solid (SS) removal rate, an anaerobic stage-constructed wetland integrated sewage treatment system was designed and applied to treat low-concentration domestic sewage from campus. The hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of anaerobic stage and constructed wetland were set as HRT1, HRT2 by our research. All the trials lasted 30 months, and the results of trial indicated that SS removal rate of the ABR stage was at least 82% under the condition that HRT1 ≥20h. At( 22±2)°C, under the conditions that HRT1=45h and HRT2=15h, the COD, TN, TP removal rates of integrated wastewater treatment system could be over 82.38%, 76.75% and 71.29%, respectively. Based on the results of trial, the operational life of constructed wetland integrated with ABR was evaluated that at least 4 times than that of individual constructed wetland, and the mechanisms of higher efficacy and long-term stable operation of integrative sewage treatment system in treatment of low-concentration domestic sewage from campus were owed to high efficient SS removal rate at ABR stage.

A novel sewage treatment system was proposed, which consists of a UASB anaerobic pre-treatment unit and the following DHS (downflow hanging sponge-cubes) aerobic post-treatment unit, as a low-cost and easy-maintenance process for developing countries. Over six months experiment by feeding sewage our proposed system achieved 94% of total-COD removal, 81% of soluble-COD removal, and nearly perfect SS removal and total-BOD removal at the overall HRT of 8.3 hr (7 hr in UASB and 1.3 hr in DHS unit). Moreover, the DHS reactor was capable of performing high (73–78%) nitrification. Our whole system requires neither external aeration input nor withdrawal of excess sludge.

A new sewage treatment system which is composed of a fluidized pellet bed separator, aerobic biological filter and micro–membrane filter was studied. In the newly proposed system, at the first stage, higher molecular weight organic substances and suspended matter are removed by way of chemical coagulation and flocculation. For the operation, a new fluidized pellet bed separator with high separation rate of 200-300 m/day is introduced to improve the treatment rate. A large percentage of organ ic substances are removed by the new coagulation/flocculation process. Hence, the total BOD load to be applied to the following biological treatment becomes very low. In addition to this, the organic substances in the effluent from the fluidized pellet bed separator are on lylower molecular weight substances which are easily biologically decomposed. Therefore easily decomposing and lower concentration pollutants enable use of a simple biological treatment p rocess such as aerobic biological filter with as short a detention time as 1 hour. Finally, effluent from the biological filter is treated by a micro-membrane filter. By the membrane process, suspended matte rs in the biologically treated water can be removed completely. Phosphate concentration of the treated water is very low, which is caused by aluminum coagulation in the first step and biological intake of the nutrient in the second step followed by complete sol id liquid separation in the third step.

The main aim of this paper is to improve the control efficiency of the sewage treatment system, by analyzing the various control parameters of sewage treatment system and comparing different ways of automatic control, Siemens S7-200 Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) is applied to the system. We designed the control flow charts of coarse grid and dewatering system, compiled the total manual program and automatic control program of aerated grit chamber by using STEP 7-Micro/WIN 32 software, and realized the related equipment automatic control in the sewage treatment system which can run the coarse grid machine that runs for 20 minutes and stops for 2 hours alternately et cetera. The results show that the controllability of sewage treatment system is enhanced and the efficiency is improved.
