Many recent developments in municipal waste water treatment technology are directed towards biological nutrient removal. Chemical fate models which are used to predict the behavior of individual chemicals in waste water treatment plants (WWTPs), have until now not incorporated this aspect. In this paper, two modifications to the steady-state non-equilibrium Simple Treat modeling concept are presented. These focus on an improved description of sludge recycling, and on the presence of different redox zones in the biological reactor (aerobic, anoxic, anaerobic). The updated models were applied to three different WWTP designs, and simulation results were compared to measured values for the surfactant LAS.

In the past years extensive experience has been gained in the upgrading of waste water treatment processes for efficient nutrient removal. Hereby especially the integration of denitrification and biological P-removal has been focused upon on these experiences a new process configuration (the BCFS®-process) was developed. This process is specially designed to optimise the activity of denitrifying P-removing bacteria. If the biological P-removal process needs to be supplemented an integrated ‘P-stripper’ is designed. This paper reviews the upgrading of three wastewater treatment plants by the new process.

A brief review of recent developments in biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal technology is presented. Guidelines are outlined of how current understanding of these two removal mechanisms can be applied in the upgrading of existing wastewater treatment plants for biological nutrient removal. A case history dealing with the upgrading of the conventional activated sludge process located at Penticton, British Columbia, to a biological nutrient removal facility with a design flow of 18,200 m3/day (4.0 IMGD) is presented as a design example. Process components requiring major modification were the headworks, bioreactors and sludge handling facilities.

In recent decades, the eutrophication of surface water has become a major environmental concern. Increased concentration of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous lead to eutrophication condition which highlights the demand for effective and economical methods of removing nitrogen and phosphorous from waste water. Bio flocculation using microalgae is an excellent candidate for satisfying the dual purpose of nutrient removal and waste water treatment. It has so many advantages over conventional methods such as toxic free, no chemical is needed, low cost etc. In this review the bio flocculation of microalgae, its mechanisms, applications and harvesting methods are discussed. Keywords: Bio flocculation, microalgae, nutrient removal, waste water treatment
