Abstract Samsun is Black Sea Region's one of the biggest industrial and trade cities with its proximity to transportation, energy, infrastructure and major markets. It contributes to the national economy in all sectors with six Organized Industrial Zones, transportation and the quality of the labour force opportunities and industrial investments. This study aims to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the industrial wastewater treatment in Samsun Central Organized Industrial Zone. It is a roadmap for post-epidemic science at the same time.

Over a period of 6 months, pilot plant investigations were carried out with the purpose of bulking sludge control with different aerobic selectors. The wastewater was dominated by industrial dischargers, containing volatile fatty acids up to 450 mg/l. With complete-mix-selectors it was not possible to achieve a stable SVI below 150 ml/g. The bulking sludge could only be controlled with a sectionalized selector (HRT 5–8 minutes per section). The SVI decreased to values below 100 ml/g. Shock-loads and increased VFA-concentrations (by dosing NaC2H3OO) did not cause filamentous growth.

Twenty-eight process wastewaters and thirty-seven organic substances identified in the wastewater of the Kashima petrochemical complex were subjected to biodegradability tests. The tests consisted of the activated sludge degradability method and a supplementary test using the respiration meter method. Both tests utilized the activated sludge of the Fukashiba industrial wastewater treatment plant, which was acclimatized to the wastewater and organic substances. The 28 process wastewaters were classified into biodegradable, less biodegradable, and non-biodegradable according to the percentage TOC removal and the BOD5/TOC ratio of the wastewater. The 37 organic substances were also classified into biodegradable, less biodegradable and non-biodegradable according to TOC and CODMn removal. In general, chlorinated compounds, nitro-aromatics and polymerized compounds were difficult to biodegrade. From the biodegradability tests of the factory wastewaters, it was found that the refractory CODMn loads of these factories contributed to the load remaining in the effluent of the wastewater treatment plant. Various improvements were made to reduce the discharge of refractory substances from the factories.

Abstract The work is devoted to the task of simplifying the assessment of the effect of effluents from treatment facilities on the river hydrobiocenosis. The studies were carried out on the mountain river Uzh (Uzhgorod, Ukraine). Our approach to assessing the impact of waste treatment facilities on the river receiver is based on the estimate of the similarity of species composition and quantitative characteristics of populations of organisms from the aerotank and from the river. It is shown that the quantitative development of populations of species of ciliates from the aeration tank is a good indicator for assessing the degradation of organic matter coming with wastewater. The use of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the protozoa from the wastewater treatment plant as a criterion for assessing the quality of the environment in the area of wastewater discharge showed their representativeness and effectiveness. The use of a limited number of species makes it possible to conduct an express assessment of the effect of effluents on receiving reservoirs for specialists working with activated sludge in the laboratories of treatment facilities.
