Auto-thermal aerobic digesters comprise a simple, robust, inexpensive technologyappropriate for on-site liquid waste treatment by small- and medium-sized enterprises.They have been shown to be effective at treating a wide range of effluents and liquorsarising from food processing and chemical plants, especially those with high levels ofbiological oxygen demand (BOD), or for small-scale sewage treatment.Liquid circulates around the reactor vessel by pumping through a venturi nozzle, whichdraws air into the flow. As the microbial community develops, the system self-heats andorganic matter is removed as CO2, NH3 and water. The temperature of the insulatedvessel may rise to 55e°C or more as the thermophilic community becomes established.BOD levels typically reduce by 90% over a 3-5 day residence time. Auto-thermal aerobicdigestion (ATAD) acts faster than mesophilic or anerobic degradation and is veryresistant to organic toxins (pentachlorophenol) or metal pollutants (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2J inthe waste.Examples are shown of wastes and liquors successfully treated by pilot-scale ATADsystems up to I 000 litres in size. These include effluents from food processing (icecream, chocolate, egg pasteurisation, brewing), chemical plants (wood processing,phenolic liquor) and silage pit effluent.Auto-thermal aerobic digestion offers a versatile, cost-effective solution for liquid wastetreatment in a climate of increasing demands from Regulatory Authorities and increasingcosts of conventional off-site waste disposal such as sewerage or landfill charges.

Liquid waste from sasirangan industrial activities has a high enough Chemical Oxygen Demand pollutant power; if it is directly discharged into water bodies, it can damage the environment and harm health. One of the first processes needs to be done by using activated corn cobs (Zea mays). This study aims to analyze the ability of corn cobs charcoal to reduce levels of Chemical Oxygen Demand and increase the pH of sasirangan waste so that the results of this study can be an alternative to natural-based sasirangan waste treatment. This type of research is a pure experiment with a research design in One Group Pretest Postest Design. The research material used was sasirangan industrial waste in Manarap Village, Kertak Hanyar District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Chemical Oxygen Demand levels were determined by the closed reflux titrimetry method. The results showed that the addition of the highest dose of activated corncob charcoal (50 g) reduced the largest turbidity by 35 percent, increased the pH by 72 percent, and reduced the color intensity by 33 percent. The conclusion is that the addition of corncob-activated charcoal at a dose of 30gr, 40gr, 50gr can reduce levels of Chemical Oxygen Demand, respectively, namely 24 percent, 35 percent, and 33 percent. An increase in pH was found at the same dose of 46 percent, 62 percent, and 72 percent, respectively. There is an effect of increasing the mass of activated charcoal from corn cobs on the Chemical Oxygen Demand levels in the sasirangan industrial waste with a significance value of 0.007. It is suggested to use corn cobs-activated charcoal for the pretreatment stage of sasirangan industrial waste treatment.

Laboratory liquid waste is water produced from the rest of the testing activities in a laboratory that is categorized as dangerous. This waste has a distinctive characteristic that is different from the waste originating from industrial activities because it usually has a very high diversity of types of waste even though the amount of material disposed of is relatively small. Advance Oxidation Processes (AOPs) or advanced oxidation processes are an alternative method that is suitable to be used to treat laboratory waste. This study aims to obtain the optimum dose in decreasing the concentration of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) with the AOPs method using Fenton reagent (H2O2 and FeSO4). The study used variations in COD concentrations of 10,090.09 mg/L, 5,009.01 mg/L and 511.71 mg/L. The results showed that the optimum dose of Fenton reagent was 1: 300 with the efficiency of decreasing COD levels for COD concentrations of 10,090.09 mg/L by 21.43%, for COD concentrations of 5,009.01 mg/L of 46.76% and for COD concentrations of 511 , 71 mg/L of 83.10%.

An integrated wastewater treatment facility, consisting of upper (solids separators, anaerobic lagoons, and aerobic ponds) and lower (wetland cells) subsystems, has been built to replace the lagoon at a dairy in Arizona, USA. The collection sump of the new waste treatment facility collects all dairy wastewater outflow. Wastewater is then pumped to solids separators, and flows by gravity to anaerobic ponds and aerobic ponds. The upper subsystem is expected to treat the water sufficiently so that the wetland cells may achieve further pollutant reductions. The lower subsystem, comprised of 8 surface wetland cells with an approximate surface area of 5,000 m2, receives outflow from the ponds. The cells are planted with cattail (Typha domingensis), soft-stem bulrush (Scirpus validus), and reed (Phragmites australis). After treatment is completed via the lagoons and ponds followed by the wetland cells, the wastewater can be reused to flush barns or to irrigate crops. Performance of the overall system is evaluated by measuring physical, chemical and biological parameters in water samples taken from selected locations along the treatment system. Chemical parameters studied include biochemical oxygen demand, pH, total suspended solids, nitrogen species. Biological monitoring included coliforms (total and fecal) and Listeria monocytogenes.

Anaerobic methane fermentation has significant potential for treatment of industrial wastewaters. Application of the process has been limited, due in part to the belief that the process cannot tolerate chronic and transient toxicity inherent in many industrial wastewaters. Experiments with cyanide, chloroform, formaldehyde, ammonium, nickel and sulfide have shown that the methanogens have the ability to recover from and acclimate to relatively high concentrations of toxicants. The key is proper attention to solids retention time. Of the two general reactor types used in biological waste treatment, attached growth systems offer two major potential advantages over suspended growth systems for treating wastewaters containing toxicants: (1) higher inherent solids retention times at relatively low hydraulic retention times and (2) the potential for a quasi plug-flow hydraulic regime that allows rapid elution of toxicants. For transient toxicity, the ability of a plug-flow, attached growth system to rapidly elute toxicants resulted in dramatically reduced down times when compared to a complete-mix, suspended growth system. For chronic toxicity, the solids retention capability of attached growth systems allows for acclimation to occur prior to washout of active biomass. Effluent recycle to plug-flow, attached growth systems should allow for more gradual exposure to chronic toxicity, thus maximizing acclimation potential.

ABSTRACTThe leather tanning industry in Sukaregang, Garut Regency, produces liquid waste containing Chromium and is discharged directly into the Ciwalen River without a waste treatment process. The content of Cr6+ as metal ions in the waste can also contaminating groundwater. The movement of Cr6+ will pass through the soil media before entering to the groundwater wells. The capability of the soil to adsorb the contaminant will reduce the impact on groundwater. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of the soil in adsorbing and inhibiting the movement of Cr6+ into groundwater. The study was carried out at Sukaregang, Garut Regency and conducting adsorption experiments with a batch system. The analysis was carried out using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model. The experimental results showed that Cr6+ adsorbed ranged from 38% to 57% of the initial concentration. The results from Langmuir Isotherm were: the distribution coefficient (Kads) was 0.45 L/mg and the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) was 2.44 mg/100g sorbent with R2 = 0.959 and Freundlich Isotherm was: qm was 2,86 mg/100g sorbent and Kads was 0,35 L/mg with R2 = 0,860. This large adsorption capacity is caused by soil texture and soil organic content. The soil in Sukaregang tanning industries has a high adsorption capacity towards Cr6+ contaminants.Keywords: adsorption, chromium, Cr6+, contaminant, volcanic soil, GarutABSTRAKIndustri penyamakan kulit di wilayah Sukaregang, Kabupaten Garut, menghasilkan limbah cair yang mengandung Kromium dan dibuang ke Sungai Ciwalen tanpa proses pengolahan limbah. Kandungan ion logam Cr6+ pada limbah dapat mencemari air tanah. Pergerakan ion logam Cr6+ akan melalui media tanah sebelum memasuki sumur-sumur penduduk. Beberapa jenis tanah mempunyai kemampuan untuk mengadsorpsi ion pencemar sehingga tidak semua limbah yang meresap ke dalam tanah mencemari air tanah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peranan tanah dalam menghambat pergerakan ion logam Cr6+ ke dalam air tanah. Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan pengambilan sampel tanah di daerah Sukaregang, Garut, dan melakukan percobaan adsorpsi dengan sistem batch. Sementara analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan model isotherm Langmuir dan Freundlich. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan konsentrasi Cr6+ yang teradsorpsi berkisar 38 – 57 % dari konsentrasi awal. Kads sebesar 0,45 L/mg dan qm sebesar 2,44 mg/100g tanah dengan nilai R2 = 0,959 menggunakan isoterm Langmuir dan isoterm Freundlich memberikan nilai qm sebesar 2,86 mg/100 g sorbent dan Kads sebesar 0,35 L/mg dengan R2 = 0,860. Tingginya daya adsorpsi ini disebabkan oleh tekstur tanah dan kandungan bahan organik. Tanah di wilayah penelitian memiliki daya adsorpsi yang besar terhadap kontaminan Cr6+.Kata kunci: adsorpsi, kromium, Cr6+, kontaminan, tanah vulkanik, Garut

<p>Odour emissions from liquid waste treatment plants (LWTPs) generally cause significant effects on the environment in terms of nuisance to exposed population. The particular and complex nature of the mixture of the volatile substances, its variability in time and the strong influence of the atmospheric conditions, are the elements that delayed their regulation and relative management.</p> <p>Limited data are available in the technical and scientific literature, regarding the odour emissions characterization from liquid waste treatment plants. Moreover there isn’t a common strategy from the different European Countries in the regulation of their emissions.</p> <p>Different methods can be used to measure odour emissions from environmental engineering plants, and currently, in Europe, the most used techniques for odour emissions characterization and quantification is the dynamic olfactometry, according to EN 13725:2003.</p> <p>The aim of this study is the characterization of the odour emissions from different liquid waste treatment plants (LWTPs), trough a case study of two large real LWTPs, in order to identify the principal odour sources and to define their related odour emissions.</p> <p>Odour Concentration Index (OCI) is proposed as a useful and simply odour management tool for the identification of the priority actions necessary to identify and control the main odorous sources. Relationship between the measured odour emissions and the types of treated liquid waste (identified in terms of EWC code, COD and NH4<sup>+</sup>) is also discussed.</p> <p>Results show that the influent collection tank is the source with the highest detected odour emissions. OCI results are useful for the definition of a clear priority action for odour control, similar for both investigated plants. Between the characterized types of liquid waste treated by LWTPs the leachate (EWC 190703) show the maximum odour emissions.</p>

The urbanization process through which large urban centers have been passing has drastically affected the availability and especially the quality of water. The Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed (CIW), located in the municipality of Guarulhos (State of São Paulo, Brazil), includes areas with different land use classes. This paper aims to correlate the spatial and temporal effects of land use and land cover on the water quality of the Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed. In a period of 12 months and at six sampling points along the watershed, the physicochemical parameters temperature (T), pH, turbidity (TU), total solids (TS), electrical conductivity (EC), total phosphorus (TP), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), as well as microbiological analysis (E. coli) were measured. Water quality was assessed using a modified version (WQIM) of the Water Quality Index (WQI) and the Trophic State Index (TSI). The areas surrounded by urban development presented a marked worsening in water quality, with the downstream point most affected and ranked as ‘POOR’. From the evaluated parameters, what contributed most to water quality degradation of the Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed (CIW) was E. coli, followed by BOD, and TP, all parameters related to the presence of sewage in the water. The need for the construction of sewerage and waste treatment, protection and recovery of riparian forests, and environmental education regarding waste disposal are necessary to significantly improve the environmental quality of the Cachoeirinha Invernada Watershed.
