This study aims to evaluate the performance of the sewage treatment plant in Al-Thagher city, in the north of Basrah governorate, the southern part of Iraq. The plant’s performance was estimated based on an analysis of influent and effluent wastewater quality data that represented the monthly averages from Feb. 2017 to Dec. 2018. The results show that the values of temperature (T), pH, ammonia (NH3–N), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) in all collected samples from the effluent of the plant met the Iraqi water quality standard (IWQS), whereas the values of electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), sulfate (SO4–2), chloride (Cl–1) and phosphate (PO4–P) met the Iraqi water quality standard (IWQS) in some months and did not meet the standard in other months. The average removal efficiencies were in the following order: COD (77.12%) > BOD (77.03%) > TSS (62.26%) > NH3–N (59.99%) > PO4–P (12.42%) > Cl–1 (1.97%). The removal percentages for the remaining parameters had negative values. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment water quality index (CCME WQI) value of the treated water was 51.80 and classified as “marginal.” The coefficients of determination between each parameter in influent or effluent were calculated. Finally, linear regression equations between these parameters were formulated so that the value of one parameter could be used to predict the value of a different parameter.

The sewage treatment plant studied, located in a rural area, is designed to treat the wastewater for a population of 650. The station functions in accordance with the principle of natural lagoons via artificial wetlands combining macrophytes and microphytes lagoons arranged in series. The overall surface area including the primary lagoon gives rise to a specific load of 6 m2/inhabitant. Both the primary and secondary treatments produce a very good water quality in accordance with the conventional parameters (SS, Suspended Solids; BOD5, the Biological Oxygen Demand over a 5 day period; COD, the Chemical Oxygen Demand). The tertiary purification of the nitrogen and phosphorus does not give as good results as expected, respectively 42% and 35% removal; very little better than those of a conventional installation. The tertiary quality standard appears not to be attainable since the successive biological mechanisms carrying out the elimination process are followed by a release of the pollutants and an insufficient elimination (plant exportation) by the macrophytes. The design and management of the macrophytes basins is relatively tricky, particularly with respect to the removal of weeds and the regulation of the water level in the macrophytes basins.

Abstract To overcome some of the restrictions due to the irregular structure of water quality data, a nonparametric approach has been developed based on Kendall’s T and a seasonal adjustment model, which enables one to test for the significance of trends as well as to monitor the trend variations with time. This methodology has been applied to water quality data for the St. Lawrence river obtained from Environment Canada and the municipality of Varennes. The results from the first source indicate that a positive trend is developing for conductivity and pH downstream from the Island of Montreal, whereas upstream from the Island pH is the only parameter indicating a positive trend. Data from the municipality of Varennes, due to their excellent quality, were used to verify the validity of the previous results as well as the reliability of the applied methodology. Analysis of the Varennes data with a parametric method indicated that a positive trend in pH is indeed evident. This finding will be of consequence for future studies to ascertain the effect on the river of the new Montreal Urban Community Sewage Treatment Plant.

Changes of microbial indices of water quality in the Vistula and Brda rivers as a result of sewage treatment plant operationThis paper reports the results of studies of microbiological changes in the water quality of the Vistula and Brda rivers after the opening of sewage treatment plants in Bydgoszcz. The study involved determining the microbiological parameters of water quality. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the quality of the water in both rivers had improved decidedly after the opening of the plants, although an increased number of individual groups of microorganisms was found at the treated sewage outlet from one of the plants.

Zeolites were synthesized from silica-rich (SF-Z) and calcium-rich (CF-Z) fly ashes, respectively, and their performance in immobilizing ammonium and phosphate was investigated through batch experiments. The cation exchange capacity and phosphate immobilization capacity of SF-Z were identified as 2.79 meq/g and 12.97 mg/g while those of CF-Z were 0.69 meq/g and 87.41 mg/g, respectively. The mixture of SF-Z and CF-Z (MSC-Z) immobilized simultaneously ammonium and phosphate, and the ratio of SF-Z to CF-Z depended on the ammonium and phosphate concentrations in wastewater and the discharge standard. The adsorption processes of ammonium and phosphate on MSC-Z followed Ho's pseudo-second-order model and the intra-particle diffusion was a rate-controlling step. The Langmuir model produced better suitability to the equilibrium data. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption of both ammonium and phosphate on MSC-Z was an endothermic reaction. After treatment by MSC-Z, the ammonium and phosphate concentrations in wastewater from a sewage treatment plant decreased from 7.45 and 1.42 mg/L to 2.06 and 0.51 mg/L, respectively, and met Surface Water Environment Quality Standard in China δ. These results show that the immobilization of ammonium and phosphate in wastewater can be achieved by the combination of zeolites synthesized from silica-rich and calcium-rich fly ashes.

Quality Indexes

A pharmaceutical factory in Wuhan produces many pharmaceutical wastewaters every day. The wastewater raw water quality indexes are: the concentration of COD,BOD5, NH3-N,TP is 300,000mg/L, 200,000mg/L, 450mg/L,900 mg/L ; By the SBBR treatment, the effluent water quality indexes are:750mg/L,350mg/L,1.20mg/L,5mg/L,and the effluent water can accord with Wastewater quality standards for discharge to municipal sewers (CJ 343-2010) and be discharged after treatment in the sewage treatment plant by municipal sewers.

Sewage Outfall

The adult dragonfly fauna and the larval fauna and abundance decrease markedly immediately downstream of the outfall from the Mimosa Sewage Treatment Plant into Bulimba Creek. The adult fauna is substantially restored farther downstream, but the larval fauna and abundance are not. Of the 36 species of Odonata observed at Bulimba Creek, the 10 abundant, essentially stream-dwelling species were most affected by the sewage effluent. Adults of only one of these stream species were found at the most contaminated site, and then only in very low numbers; those of two others were not observed downstream of the outfall. The diversities of both adult and larval dragonfly faunas give a qualitative indication of water quality. Parallels between the distribution or abundance of Odonata and the concentrations of contaminants indicate that chlorine may be the most important toxicant immediately downstream of the sewage outfall in Bulimba Creek.

Wastewater in general is water, in general, is a liquid that comes from households, industries, or other public places that usually contain materials or substances that can endanger human life and disturb the environment. Quid comes from households, industries, or other public places that usually contain materials or substances that can endanger human life and disturb the environment. This study to plan, analyze, and assess the performance conditions of wastewater treatment plants (IPAL) at PT XYZ Bekasi Regency on environmental quality standards. Data and information used are data on the amount of wastewater, sources of wastewater, and behavior of water use as well as secondary data in the form of data that the authors surveyed directly at the research location. The processing method of the output value of WWTP uses the research method of the laboratories from the research method in which the output value exceeds the quality standard of LHK Regulation No. 68 the Year 2016 and has exceeded its planning capacity. And what is identified is not safe. An alternative solution to the problem of unsafe output values ​​is by planning a new wastewater treatment plant.
