The reuse of industrial waste and urban sewage is a vital method for solving the shortage of water resource in China. Settling tank as a processing link in water treatment system widely used exercises a great influence on sewage treatment efficiency, and sludge emissions have a great influence on the operation of water treatment plant. Manual mud and mechanical dredge are widely used in most of the water treatment plants from the current domestic. The design used ultrasonic as a method for determination of sludge concentration, developped corresponding application control software, and finally completed a reasonable and feasible for settling tank intermittent discharge of sludge monitoring and emission control system.The result of our simulation system shows that the program operation is stable and maneuverability, and this set of monitoring on-line and control system has good application and development foreground.

Population growth and urbanization pose a greater pressure for the treatment of drinking water. Additionally, different treatment units, such as decanters and filters, accumulate high concentrations of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn), which in many cases can be discharged into the environment without any treatment when maintenance is performed. Therefore, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of vertical subsurface wetlands for Fe and Mn removal from wastewater in drinking water treatment plants, taking a pilot scale wetland with an ascending gravel bed with two types of plants: C. esculenta and P. australis in El Hormiguero (Cali, Colombia), as an example. The pilot system had three upstream vertical wetlands, two of them planted and the third one without a plant used as a control. The wetlands were arranged in parallel and each formed by three gravel beds of different diameter. The results showed no significant difference for the percentage of removal in the three wetlands for turbidity (98 %), Fe (90 %), dissolved Fe (97 %) and Mn (98 %). The dissolved oxygen presented a significant difference between the planted wetlands and the control. C. esculenta had the highest concentration of Fe in the root with (103.5 ± 20.8) µg/g ; while P. australis had the highest average of Fe concentrations in leaves and stem with (45.7 ± 24) µg/g and (41.4 ± 9.1) µg/g, respectively. It is concluded that subsurface wetlands can be an interesting alternative for wastewater treatment in the maintenance of drinking water treatment plants. However, more research is needed for the use of vegetation or some technologies for the removal or reduction of the pollutant load in wetlands, since each drinking water treatment plant will require a treatment system for wastewater, which in turn requires a wastewater treatment system as well.

The operation of the Karašnica Water Treatment Plant, forming part of the water system in Ilijaš Municipality, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is analysed in the paper. Two distinct water treatment lines are described and analysed. The first line consists of an internal circular settling tank and rapid sand gravity filters, while the second line consists of an external circular settling tank and pressure filters. In order to evaluate operating efficiency, a tour of the system facilities was made, interviews with the employees were conducted, the existing documentation was examined, and additional physicochemical and bacteriological analyses of appropriate water samples were conducted. Following analysis of all available data, appropriate conclusions and significant recommendations were made toward more efficient operation of the water treatment plant.

The waste water treatment system of the central region Linz is described. Because of the construction of the hydroelectric plant in Abwinden-Asten a central sewage treatment plant for 22 communities and the waste waters of the chemical and steel industry was constructed. Purification efficiency in terms of BOD5 is 93 % and 83 % for COD. The anaerobic digested sludge is deposited in lagoons.
