Industry and industrial complexes are often located in the proximity of people’s homes. One of the negative effects of industry is noise emissions into the surrounding environment. With the increasing concentration of the human population and the increase in industrial production, more and more people are exposed to the negative effects of noise. This article discusses a comprehensive approach to reducing noise emissions from industrial operations, and the subsequent impacts on surrounding villages and human health. The first step of the whole process is to understand the current state of the acoustic situation in industrial operation and in the nearby villages, an important part of which is the identification and localization of dominant noise sources. For this purpose, a unique noise visualization tool was used, namely, an acoustic camera. The next important step is to propose a technical solution and measures to reduce the noise of the individual source. Consequently, it is necessary to create a mathematical model, i.e., noise maps, in order to verify whether the proposed measures will be sufficient. Once the proposed measures have been implemented, verification of the effectiveness of these measures needs to be carried out through repeated noise measurements in nearby villages and also on the site of the industrial installation. The above procedure was applied to the operation of a wastewater treatment plant that was causing noise exceeding the permissible levels in the surrounding villages. The application of this approach, the implementation of the proposed measures, and the subsequent verification confirmed a significant reduction in the noise levels in the affected villages, and the measures implemented were assessed as highly effective.

A new biological deodorization technology which is used in Tianjin Jizhuangzi Sewage Plant was introduced in this paper. The geographical position of Jizhuangzi Wastewater Treatment Plant is special. The plant has been surrounded by the living area. The problem of odor to people has been serious until a new deodorization technology is used. It is a source deodorization technology used special filler through vaccination, induction and catalytic to removed the malodorous sources. A special microbial incubator is used to culture and proliferate effective deodorant microorganisms on activated sludge sewage in the biological pool of the plant and then the sludge containing deodorant microbial reflowed to the wastewater inlet. The malodorous substances in the water are removed through adsorption, cohesion, biotransformation degradation and so on by the deodorant microbial. The case indicates that this technology is effective in practice and good for popularization. And this technology with simple process showed significant effect compared with other deodorant technologies and was more secure and convenient to build and run with low cost.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) could be dissolved in wastewater or adsorbed on particulate. The fate of PCBs in wastewater is essential to evaluate the feasibility of wastewater treatment processes and the environmental risk. Here dissolved and adsorbed concentrations of twenty concerned PCB congeners and total PCBs have been measured in the centralized wastewater treatment plant of a chemical industry zone in Zhejiang, China. It was found that the dyeing chemical processes were the main source of PCBs, which contributed more than 13.6%. The most abundant PCB was PCB-11 in the liquid and solid phase of each treatment stage, accounting for more than 60% of the total 209 PCBs. Partitioning behavior of PCBs between the dissolved and adsorbed phases suggested that Di-CBs were the dominant isomers (>70%) and more than 89.8% of them was adsorbed on the particles and sludge. The total removal efficiency of∑209 PCBs was only 23.2% throughout the whole treatment process. A weak correlation was obtained between the individual PCB concentration and their log Kowin primary sedimentation, anaerobic hydrolysis, aerobic bioprocess stage, and the whole treatment process.

ABSTRACT The macrolide resistance plasmid pRSB111 was isolated from bacteria residing in the final effluents of a wastewater treatment plant. The 47-kb plasmid confers resistance to azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, roxithromycin, and tylosin when it is carried by Pseudomonas sp. strain B13 and is very similar to prototype IncP-1β plasmid pB3, which was previously isolated from an activated-sludge bacterial community of a wastewater treatment plant. The two plasmids differ in their accessory regions, located downstream of the conjugative transfer module gene traC. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the pRSB111 accessory region revealed that it contains a new macrolide resistance module composed of the genes mphR(E), mph(E), and mrx(E), which putatively encode a transcriptional regulator, a macrolide phosphotransferase, and a transmembrane transport protein, respectively. Analysis of the contributions of the individual genes of the macrolide resistance module revealed that mph(E) and mrx(E) are required for high-level macrolide resistance. The resistance genes are flanked by two insertion sequences, namely, ISPa15 and ISRSB111. Two truncated transposable elements, IS6100 and remnants of a Tn3-like transposon, were identified in the vicinity of ISRSB111. The accessory element of pRSB111 apparently replaced the Tn402-like element present on the sister plasmid, pB3, as suggested by the conservation of Tn402-specific terminal inverted repeats on pRSB111.

Two main challenges in activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) are cost and effluent quality, which has forced the wastewater treatment operator to find an alternative to improve the existing control strategy. The Benchmark Simulation Model No. 1 (BSM1) is applied as operational settings for this study. In BSM1, the standard control variables are the internal recirculation flow rate and the oxygen transfer rate. To improve the existing control strategy of BSM1, three alternative control handles are proposed, which are the individual aeration intensity control, carbon source addition and combination of both. The effect of each control handles in terms of the effluent violation, effluent quality, aeration cost, and total operational cost index are examined. The simulation result has shown that the individual control of aeration intensity improved the effluent quality index, and reduced the aeration, pumping, and total operational cost index when compared to the standard BSM1 control handle. Nonetheless, the addition of a fixed external carbon source has shown a significantly improved effluent quality with a lower number of total nitrogen violations as compared to the standard BSM1 control handles. Thus, the proposed control handles may be beneficial if applied in a real WWTP.

AbstractIndustrial waste comes from the end of product process as a solid or liquid waste. Avoiding the negative effects of industrial waste, each industry must complete their company with wastewater treatment plant. This Field Job Practice was done at Kelola Mina Laut, Inc., located in Randu Agung Village, Kebomas District, Gresik th thResidence, East Java Province on August 4 – September 13 as a mean to observe, learn and to know Kelola Mina Laut, Inc. wastewater treatment method. Work method which used in Field Job Practice was descriptive method with data collection technique, active participation, interview and literature study. The wastewater treatment plant of Kelola Mina Laut, Inc. consists of one collector batch unit, two aeration batch units, one sedimentation batch unit, and one contol batch unit. Before loosing the effluent to the water stream, wastewater passes through the control batch to know about the wastewater quality. After passing through the treatments, wastewater that loosing upon the environment will have a good quality and appropriate with Environment Quality Standard.
