Human Beings

Nowadays, risk management applies to every technical facility, branch of the economy, and industry. Due to the characteristics of the analyzed wastewater treatment plant and the specificity of the used processes, one must approach different areas individually. Municipal sewage treatment plants are technical facilities; they function as enterprises and are elements of larger systems—water distribution and sewage disposal. Due to their strategic importance for the environment and human beings, it is essential that they are covered by risk management systems. The basic stage of risk management is its assessment. On its basis, strategic decisions are made and new solutions are introduced. Constant monitoring of the operation of a treatment plant allows for assessment of whether actions taken are correct and whether they cause deterioration of the quality of sewage. In our work, we present a method of risk assessment based on historical data for an existing facility and obtained results.

Model Family

The process of designing and exploiting municipal sewage treatment plants has become much simpler and more efficient thanks to mathematical modeling. The ASM model family is able to simulate the operation of existing or designed objects in a satisfactory manner. The basic problem in Poland is the insufficient amount of data for simulations coming from plant monitoring. It is provided to create unstable model results with difficulties in calibration and validation. The aim of this article is to confirm how the amount of data and its completeness will affect the quality of the simulation performed in the ASM model. The study object is a sewage treatment plant located in Chicago in the USA. It is a sewage treatment plant operating with activated sludge technology, with regular monitoring of the quality of raw and treated wastewater. For modeling, a variant of the ASM model built into the BioWin 5.2 software was used.

Quality Of Water

The assessment of the ratio of self-purification processes in the natural environment, including the water bodies of streams and rivers is possible by the means of the numerical modelling. Nonetheless, the reliability of results of the qualitative numerical calculations may be affected by the quality of the collected input data and efficiency of the model calibration. The commonly required input data include pollutants characteristics and coefficients for empirical equations of their transport and decay, while calibration of a model requires series of measurements of selected pollutants concentration in water. This paper presents studies of concentration of pollutants measured in the treated sanitary wastewater discharged to the Bystrzyca river from municipal wastewater treatment plant, and their concentrations measured directly in the river, above and below the location of discharge point. The performed qualitative measurements of treated sewage discharged from municipal wastewater treatment plant and water of the Bystrzyca river included determination of COD, BOD5, N-NH4, N-NO2, N-NNO3, TKN, TN, TP and TSS concentration. The presented results of measurements are the first step in development and calibration of the model, allowing to successfully predict the influence of discharged sanitary wastewater on quality of water in the river.

Engineering Research

For engineering research, ECOSUNIDE technique was applied in a sewage treatment plant under low temperature and low carbon resource. The whole experimental system has being running steadily after reasonable adjustments of influent distribution, returned sludge ratio and DO. The effluent qualities meet the Class I-B Criteria Specified in Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB18918-2002).Effluent BOD5 and NH3-N meet the Class I-A Criteria. The results indicates that the treatment capacity could fluctuate within a range of ±3000 m3/d with DO properly controlled. In aerobic sections, the best DO was 2-3 mg/L. The optimal sludge emission amount could be attained through settlement ratio and sludge concentration with the present emission amount of sludge of 680 m3/d. It might be the restrictive factor that BOD/TN was less than 3 on TN removal which could not steadily achieve the Class I-A Criteria.

Sewage Sludge Management

Abstract Sewage sludge produced in municipal sewage treatment plants, because of its physicochemical and sanitary properties, is a serious threat to the environment. In order to neutralize it, various methods of processing are used, which directly affect the quantity and quality of produced sewage sludge, which in the final stage can be used naturally. Properly managed sludge management is presented on the example of a sewage treatment plant, conducting the methane fermentation process with the production of biogas.

Carbon Removal

The efficient removal of carbon (COD) and nitrogen (NH3-N) is vital to improving tailwater from municipal wastewater treatment plants. In this study, denitrification and decarburization bacteria with stable removal efficiencies were introduced into a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for 45 days of field experiments in a QJ Wastewater Treatment Plant (Hangzhou, China) to enhance carbon and nitrogen removal. After adding the decarbonization microorganisms into the denitrification reactor, COD removal increased from 31.2% to 80.2%, while compared to the same MBR with only denitrification microorganisms, the removal efficiency of NH3-N was greatly increased from 76.8% to 98.6%. The results of microbial analysis showed that the cooccurrence of Proteobacteria and Bacillus with high abundance and diverse bacteria, such as Chloroflexi, with autotrophic decarburization functions might account for the synchronous high removal efficiency for NH3-N and COD. This technology could provide a reference for industrial-scale wastewater treatment with the goal of simultaneous nitrogen and carbon removal.

Limiting Factor

To reuse municipal sewage sludge safely, experiment was carried out on grapefruit trees fertilized with composted sludge from Shiweitou Sewage Treatment Plant in Xiamen City of China, and a method was introduced of how to assess the environmental quality of grapefruit trees soil fertilized with sludge by Set Pair Analysis (SPA) model. The results showed that the soil in the surface layer (0-15cm) and the deeper layer (15-30cm) was less clean, and the environment of soil was not polluted. Thus it was feasible to use sludge as fruit fertilizer. The maximum service life of sludge for continuous land application was estimated by taking Cd as the limiting factor, which would provide scientific guide and technical support for safe land application of sludge.
