Results of a three year experience on a combined anaerobic-anoxic-oxic municipal waste water treatment process - named ANANOX® - are presented. This process demonstrated to be highly efficient, with 89.6% CODt, 89.2% TSS and 81.2% N removal, and a sludge production of only 0.2 kg TSS.kg COD removed−1, a value which is roughly 50% less if compared with traditional nitrification/denitrification processes. Sulphates play a very significant role in the process because, after being reduced in the anaerobic step, where they give a contribution to the organic matter degradation, they are reoxidized in the anoxic step by nitrates, reducing the organic matter need for denitrification. Due to the high dependence of efficiency on temperature, the system proposed has advantageous uses for sewage treatment, particularly in warm climates and in tourist and recreational areas where the population increases during the warm season.

Abundances of phages specific to Escherichia coli in the wastewater treatment process were analyzed. Relatively abundant coliphages were detected in sewage influent. Phages in the influent were found both suspended in liquid phase and attached on the solid particles. Phage concentration was not reduced in the settling tank without chemical agglutination. Anaerobic followed by aerobic treatment of the sewage reduced concentration of suspended phages. Almost no phage was detected as a suspended form in the aerobic tank. Most of the phages were detected as attaching form and were excluded by aggregation with sludge. Using an experimental approach based on the detection of Shiga toxin 2 (Stx 2) gene by a phage enrichment culture followed by nested PCR, bacteriophages carrying Stx 2 gene were detected in the influent, settling tank, and anaerobic tank. It was revealed that the presence of phages carrying Stx 2 gene is common in sewage and these phages are effectively eliminated through sewage treatment process.

Based on the systematically describing of the producing and living waste water treatment process in Faende Mining Co.,Ltd.,in Shagou, Luoning, Henan Province, the production and living waste water treatment effect was analyzed deeply. The comparing results of before and after treatment showed that the design of the treatment process in the mine was reasonable, the sewage treatment worked well, and the effluent concentration of has reached the first class of "integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB8978-1996), among which the concentration of the two indexes, Lead and Zinc, has achieved the specific standard which is more strict than the first class of "integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB8978-1996).

Results of a four year experience on a combined anaerobic-anoxic-oxic municipal wastewater treatment process - named ANANOX® - are presented. This process demonstrated to be highly efficient, with 89.6% CODt, 89.2% TSS and 81.2% N removal, and a sludge production of only 0.2 kg TSS.kg COD removed−1, a value which is roughly 50% less if compared with traditional nitrification/denitrification processes. Energy needs are reduced with respect to aerobic plants, because the anaerobic COD degradation plays a major role, particularly during the warm season. Sulphates play a very significant role in the process because, after being reduced in the anaerobic step, where they give a contribution to the organic matter degradation, they are reoxidized in the anoxic step by nitrates, reducing the organic matter need for denitrification. Due to the high dependence of efficiency on temperature, the system proposed has advantageous uses for sewage treatment particularly in warm climates and in tourist and recreational areas where the population increases during the warm season.

The paper presents the pilot Microgrid in Macedonia, developed within the framework of the MOREMICROGRIDS (EU EP6 projecet, contract No. SES6-019864) project. This Microgrid is the first of its kind being developed in the Western Balkan region and serves as pilot site for introduction and examination of the Microgrids concept in non European Union conditions. The test network consists of a part of the low voltage grid, located on a pig farm. The main electricity source for the Microgrid is a small biogas plant, which uses the biogas produced by a waste water treatment process. The paper addresses the Microgrid design, development of test scenarios and test results from the pilot location.

Membrane fouling is a dominant limit of the membrane separation process. In this research, the optimal water backwashing to solve the membrane fouling problem was investigated in the combined water treatment process of alumina MF and pure polypropylene (PP) beads. Additionally, the influence of membrane shape (tubular or seven channel) was examined, depending on the water backwashing period. The optimal backwashing time (BT) could be 20 s in the combined water treatment process, because of the highest total treated volume (VT) in our BT 6–30 s conditions. The optimal backwashing period (BP) could be 6 min, because of the minimum membrane fouling and the maximum VT in the combined process of tubular alumina MF and PP beads. The resistance of reversible membrane fouling (Rrf) showed a major resistance of total membrane fouling, and that of irreversible membrane fouling (Rif) was a minor one, in the combined process using tubular or seven channel MF. The Rif showed a decreasing trend obviously, as decreasing BT from NBW to 2 min for seven channel MF. It means that the more frequent water backwashing could be more effective to control the membrane fouling, especially irreversible fouling, for seven channel membranes than tubular membranes.

This paper presents a new approach of optimization technique in the controller parameter tuning for waste-water treatment process (WWTP) application. In the case study of WWTP, PID controller is used to control substrate (S) and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration level. Too many parameters that need to be controlled make the system becomes complicated. Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is used as the main method for PID controller tuning process. GSA is based on Newton's Law of Gravity and mass interaction. In this algorithm, the searcher agents survey the masses that interact with each other using law of gravity and law of motion. For WWTP system, the activated sludge reactor is used and this system is multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process. MATLAB is used as the platform to perform the simulation, where this optimization is compared to other established optimization method such as the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to determine whether GSA has better features compared to PSO or vice-versa. Based on this case-study, the results show that transient response of GSA-PID was 20%-30% better compared to transient response of the PSO-PID controller.

The PAN-based carbon fiber (CF) was choosen as a bio-carrier in waste water treatment process, which was modified by anodic oxidation and electropolymerization using sulphuric acid and maleic anhydride (MA) respectively. The morphology and propeties of CF surface were characterized by laser confocal microsopy (LCM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the degree of moisture (DM), and the consequence of biocompatibility nature on CF surface was therefore indicated by immobilization results of microorganisms. It shows that the surface hydrophilicity, oxygen containing groups and surface roughness of CF would contribute greatly to improve the immobilization ability of microorganisms on CF surface. And acid anodic oxidation is more effective on microorganism immobilization than MA electropolymerization.
