The paper describes the upgrading of an existing conventional two-stage municipal wastewater treatment plant for 200,000 PE to meet the EEC and Slovenian high effluent quality demands for nitrogen. The incoming wastewater is highly loaded with industrial waste and specifically with effluent from anaerobic pretreatment of piggery sludge. The low-cost concept of extensive wastewater treatment is based on integrating appropriate technologies into an existing treatment facility, preserving as much of the technical infrastructure as possible. The proposed concept uses a predenitrification system for the elimination of nitrogen.

The upgrading of an existing mechanical wastewater treatment plant to meet the new standards for effluent quality in the Municipality of Fredericia, Denmark, are presented. The Municipality has a lot of very big organic and inorganic industries, which leaves several different possibilities for treatment strategies. In 1987 pilot-scale tests were carried out to study the effects of various combinations of wastewater types on the treatment efficiency, and the tests resulted in two main solutions for the wastewater treatment system. The pilot-scale tests were run in a two - stage biology plant. The first stage was either a BIOSORPTION unit or a PRE-DENITRIFICATION unit. The second stage was a biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal unit (a BIO-DENIPHO unit).

An easily installed wastewater treatment plant was developed using an MBR process. The plant consists of inlet pumps, automatic fine screen, a main reactor in which aerator-mixer and MF membrane separators are installed and a control board. The main reactor is a sheeted pond which is easily constructed on-site by an excavation. As a result, the installation of this plant is easy and inexpensive, operation is easy, yet the effluent quality is high. The 50 m3/d pilot plant was constructed in our experimental facility in Ibaraki Pref., and operated from January 1997 to April 1998 to evaluate performance, stability and the ease of separation and installation of each unit. The results were satisfactory in all areas, except the durability of membrane permeability in the latter half of the experiment. For both hollow fibre type and plate type, membrane permeability immediately decreased due to the deposit of concentrated sludge cake on the surface, even though continuous bubble washing had been made. Hence,drastic improvement is needed in the way of sludge deposit control on the membrane surface. This is the key for the developed system to become a practical one.

A process of CAST, designing parameters and characteristics in the water treatment technology was introduced in this paper. The CAST was adopted to treat a scale of 3300m3/d of municipal wastewater and industrial effluent coming from a small town of Huojia county in Henan province. It is an innovative attempt to applied the CAST to a rural sewage treatment in the traditional water treatment field. What is more , after the chemical phosphorus removal and a sufficient reaction in the CAST tank, the effluent quality would ultimately meet level A while others could only meet level B in the state standard discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant (GB 18919-2002).

The objective of this work was to investigate the occurrence and fate of five heavy metals in water, sludge, and sediments from a conventional municipal wastewater treatment facility in Kisumu City, Kenya. The effluent quality was compared with the effluent quality parameters stipulated by the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) to assess the efficiency of the plant and potential effect of the discharged effluent on the recipient river. The levels of the heavy metals recorded in the sludge samples were significantly higher than those in the corresponding water samples. The order of the metal percentage removal efficiency (%R) from the treatment plant was Mg>Cu>Mn>Fe>Zn. It is concluded that the plant is a point source for Zn loading into the recipient waters which poses potential risk to end users downstream. The heavy metal-laden sludge was within permissible limits for utilization in agricultural lands.

Abstract The research presents the changes in chemical oxygen demand (COD) fractions during the two-stage thermal disintegration and anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge in municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Four COD fractions have been separated taking into account the solubility of substrates and their susceptibility to biodegradation: inert soluble organic matter SI, readily biodegradable substrate SS, slowly biodegradable substrates XS and inert particulate organic material XI. The results showed that readily biodegradable substrates SS (46.8% of total COD) and slowly biodegradable substrates XS (36.1% of total COD) were dominant in the raw sludge effluents. In sewage effluents after two-stage thermal disintegration, the percentage of SS fraction increased to 90% of total COD and percentage of XS fraction decreased to 8% of total COD. After AD, percentage of SS fraction in total COD decreased to 64%, whereas the percentage of other fractions in effluents increased.

To solve the problem of huge investment and high difficulty of individually treating landfill leachate, the experiment adopted A2O simulated wastewater treatment plant to treat landfill leachate combined with municipal sewage.Under the conditions of 11h HRT, 1.0-2.0mg/L DO concentration, 200% mixture reflux proportion, 80% sludge reflux proportion and 20d sludge age, adding langdfill leachate to municipal sewage with the proportion of 1:1500, 1:1000 and 1:600, the effluent concentration can achieve the first order A standard of Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant. When the proportions come to 1:400 and 1:200,the effluent quality can’t reach the standard. After a comprehensive consideration of water quality and landfill leachate treatment amount in practice, we can draw a conclusion that the 1:600 proportion is the most suitable one of adding landfill leachate to municipal sewage.

A Pilot-scale study was conducted to treat municipal wastewater by Biological-Ecological filter (BEF), which is composed by anaerobic hydrolysis pool (AHP), high load biological filter (BF) and vermifilter (VF). The results demonstrated that when the influent concentrations of COD and NH3-N were in the range of 190~300 mg/L and 25~35 mg/L, respectively, the effluent concentration of them ranged from 45 to 65 mg/L and 8 to 20 mg/L with the average removal efficiency of 73.6% and 50%, respectively. Meanwhile, the effluent average SS concentration was less than 15 mg/L. The effluent quality could steadily meet the second level criteria specified in Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002) in China. The removal performance of fine zeolite was significantly better than the coarse one and heightening packing layer had little effect on the removal of COD and NH3-N. This study verified that BEF system for municipal wastewater treatment was feasible.
