The growth of Eichhornia crassipes under outdoor conditions was examined during a 42-day test in a wastewater treatment plants primary clarifier, trickling filter and secondary clarifier using municipal residential wastewater as the chosen supplier of nutrients. Test results showed that Eichhorn crassipes plants gained a significant amount of biomass in a short period. Plants could increase their biomass 15.1-fold from the initial weight of 457.6 g to 6898.8 g for the primary clarifier and 12.6-fold from the initial weight of 288.2 g to 3635.0 g for the secondary clarifier. Plant growth in the trickling filter was limited by factors such has as observed bird picking, Cladophra algae growth in the trickling filter and on the roots of Eichhorn crassipes, and intermittent exposure to nutrients contained in the municipal residential wastewater.

A wastewater treatment plant in Brno may be one of the wastewater treatment plants in the Czech Republic using a dryer for dewatering the sludge. The results of an adsorbable organically bound halogens balance analysis measured on the sludge dryer at the waste water treatment plant in Brno are demonstrated in this work. The aim of this work was to calculate the material balance in the treatment process (centrifugation and drying). Control places were chosen and then samples of water and sludge (at the inlet and outlet of the system) were collected. The adsorbable organically bound halogens concentration was detected in these samples by the coulometric method.

The most widely used methods for sludge blanket measurements are based on acoustic or optic principles. In operation, both methods are expensive and often maintenance-intensive. Therefore a novel, reliable and simple method for sludge blanket measurement is proposed. It is based on the differential pressure measurement in the sludge zone compared with the differential pressure in the clear water zone, so that it is possible to measure the upper and the lower sludge level in a tank. Full-scale tests of this method were done in the secondary clarifier at the waste water treatment plant in Hecklingen, Germany. The result shows a good approximation of the manually measured sludge level.

Abstract The treatment of wastewater is an essential factor in preventing pollutants and promoting the quality of the water. The inherent complexity, influential impact and the solid waste infrastructure lead to confusion and variance in the primary clarifier for wastewater. These inconsistencies lead to variations in the purity and capacity constraints of wastewater and the existential impact of water receipt. The water treatment is a complicated task that has means of chemical, technical & biochemical influences. A credible ANN method is necessary for another waste water treatment plant to prevent the breakdown of the processes. Virtual reality seems to have become a strong solution for preventing waste management uncertainties and problems. This is not only due to high deformations but also to significant external disturbances that water systems are controlling challenges. Climate is among the most significant of such disturbances. Various environmental conditions actually include different influx frequencies and levels of substances. Water contamination has become one of the extremely serious growing conservation; sewage treatment plant identification is a key major issue here and the agencies enforce tighter requirements for the operating of wastewater software systems. This article plans to create models of achievement and prospects for the possible future guidance of recent research borders for the use of artificial intelligence in wastewater treatment plants which concurrently deal with pollutants. This study has shown us that the composite ANN provides a greater level of competence in plant prediction and systemization.

Sensor prototypes for measurement of ammonium, nitrate and phosphate in wastewater treatment plants are described together with the results obtained in laboratory and pilot scale wastewater treatment plants. A functional description of the sensor principles is presented together with the installation and operation procedures. Basically the measurements are done using membrane technology in combination with semi-micro Continuous Flow Analysis (μCFA) with classic colorimetry. Because of this the sensors can be installed directly in the aeration tanks without any need for sampling, filtration, etc. Furthermore, the semi-micro scale is used in such a way, that handling of chemicals and waste is a closed loop in a package to be changed once a month. The sensors have been tested thoroughly in a pilot scale waste water treatment plant (recirculation) using real raw wastewater as well as artificial wastewater. The sensors have been placed directly in the aeration tank or in the anoxic tank of the pilot plant. The tests show very little, if any, fouling problems due to the membrane material used. The test results show a good reproducibility and most important, compared to other available sensors/analyzers on the market, very low response times, less than 5 minutes. Owing to these low response times, experiments with direct measurement of nitrification and denitrification rates were carried out.

Aerosol Emissions

The literature on microbial emissions from wastewater treatment plants is reviewed and a major study of microbial aerosol emissions from such a plant is described and discussed. The literature was found to be repleted with studies which showed that microbial aerosols are emitted from wastewater treatment plants but rapid die-away was shown once the aerosols reach the ambient air. Epidemiological studies of wastewater treatment plant workers and of communities nearby such plants gave overwhelming evidence to show that wastewater treatment plants do not affect the health of the local populace nor the plant workers themselves. The paper describes a major study of the microbial aerosol emissions of a waste-water treatment plant operated by the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago. In this study, it was found that aerosols containing microorganisms were emitted from the aeration tank surface at rates of 208 to 386 standard plate counts per cubic meter of air at a distance of 0.3 m above the surface. However, it was found that there was rapid die-away of microbial emission with distance from the aeration tanks both horizontally and vertically. It was concluded, based upon the literature review and the major study described, that microbial aerosol emissions from wastewater treatment plants were not a significant factor in the health of the surrounding populace.

This contribution focuses on an analysis of sand from nine different wastewater treatment plants in South Moravian Region. We conducted an analysis and evaluation of microbial properties of sand in accordance to Act No. 185/2001 Coll. on waste as amended, resp. Decree No. 381/2001 Coll. Content of following parameters were monitored, thermotolerant coliform bacteria, coliform bacteria, enterococci, total solid, ash free dry mass. We encountered several interesting findings, which pertained mainly to the content of microorganisms in sand. Knowledge of microorganism content should show, how the primary treatment of the wastewater treatment plant works, and should be very interesting indicator.

Operational Data

The upgrading and nitrification was required for the waste water treatment plant in Geiselbullach. As space for more aeration tanks was not available, the possibility of increasing the MLSS by the use of submerged bio-film reactors was tested in a half technical scale pilot plant with three different reactor materials. Each tested reactor material caused a significant increase of MLSS and the nitrification reaction. The rope-type material was selected for the practical application, as it had not the same disadvantages of the other tested systems, which proved operational problems. After one year of continuous operation for nitrification in the full scale plant the influences on the biomass characteristics were investigated. Design criterias and details and operational data are reported.
