Abstract The treatment of wastewater for reuse is a potential solution to meet ever increasing urban, industrial, agricultural, and environmental demands across the world, where clean water availability is scarce. There are several traditional wastewater treatment processes that offer varying degrees of effectiveness in addition to presenting environmental, economic, and social disadvantages. Development of promising and inexpensive technologies to provide the reusable water in needful amounts using wastewaters as a cheap source of key nutrients and organic matter is required. Wastewater treatment by biological methods is becoming more important in the light of recovering value-added plant nutrients, heavy metals, biosolids, and bioenergy resources. Different types of solid contaminants in effluents can be removed simultaneously by pure cultures or mixed microbial consortia. Based on the structural organization of microbial biomass, biological treatment systems are classified into two types: dispersed growth system and attached growth system. Biological treatment methods associated with fixed-film growth have been recognized as highly effective and more energy efficient than suspended growth systems. This review discusses the recent breakthroughs in advanced biological wastewater treatment using both the systems, and also focuses on key energetic resources recovery driven by biological technologies.

Parameters characterizing intrasolid, liquid/solid, and gas/liquid mass transport phenomena in biological treatment systems are required if mass transfer is to be included in process models. Estimates of such parameters are presented and discussed. Collective and individual effects of mass transfer resistances are illustrated by computer simulation of a high-rate trickling filter.

The results of experimental studies on the evaluation of the possibility of using enzyme complexes in the biological treatment of waste water from pulp and paper enterprises are presented. The use of enzyme complexes will increase the efficiency of wastewater treatment by COD and BOD, and will also have a beneficial effect on the hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics of activated sludge. Experimental studies have determined the points of introduction of enzyme complexes into the technological scheme of biological wastewater treatment.

The paper deals with the problem of mathematical modeling of biological wastewater treatment. The peculiarity of the biological treatment system is that a block with activated sludge, called an aeration tank, is used for water purification. To describe the process of biological wastewater treatment in aeration tanksa mathematical model developed in the GPS-X software package is proposed.

The use of industrial wastes as alternative adsorbents for wastewater treatment is proposed. The effective concentration of the adsorbent was determined experimentally. The results of a study of the intensification of biological wastewater treatment using activated carbon and a pulverized coke fraction are presented. The efficiency of treatment in terms of "chemical oxygen demand" during the intake of highly concentrated sewage sludge with the use of an alternative adsorbent averaged 85 %. In the biosorption system, the conservation of the species diversity of the biocenosis of activated sludge and its purifying ability was noted. In the biological treatment system, purification efficiency was recorded on average 16 % less and destabilization of the system as a whole. The carried out researches prove expediency of use of adsorbents, including production wastes, for intensification of biological wastewater treatment in aero tanks.

The World

All around the world, activated sludge is the classical and traditional biological wastewater treatment for municipal and industrial wastewater. With the development of social and technology, the concentration of pollutants has been increased, so the performance of the old wastewater treatment plants not guaranteed. Therefore, upgrade and reconstruction wastewater treatment system becomes the main task of protection environment, especially in the developing countries. Application biofilms in process biological wastewater treatment is one of technology method and it has many advantages. In the Sequencing Batch Reactor, the Mutag BioChip 25TM provides to the bacteria an optimal habitat at the surface area, increasing rate of Utilization of Substrates 20 – 30% and efficiency of organic matter removal from 10 – 15%.

Over Time

In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in wastewater treatment because of its direct impact on the environment and public health. Over time, other forms of treatment have been developed and modified, including extended aeration. This process is included in the suspended growth system. In this paper, a comparative study was conducted between the efficiency of the extended aeration plant and that of the trickling filter plant in removal of BOD and COD.  The method of comparison was done by knowing the value of the pollutant before and after the treatment and then extract the removal ratio of each pollutant within each plant. The results showed that the percentage of removal of BOD in the trickling filter was 79.5% while in extended aeration was 90.7%. The efficiency of COD removal was 60% in trickling filter and 86% in extended aeration.  The study was carried out at the Barrakiyah WWTP in Najaf province in Iraq. As the plant contains these two types of treatment, and the study has been achieved through monthly examinations over a full year.
