Abstract The problem faced by many hospitals in Indonesia is the low efficiency of Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) hospitals. If it does not get the attention, it will have an impact on health and environmental pollution. Various technologies have been used but experienced many obstacles. Constructed wetlands based on aquatic plants that have been used in developed countries are very prospects of being developed in regions such as Indonesia with a tropical climate. A preliminary study is needed with the first step to investigate the quality of hospital wastewater in Palu City, Indonesia, as a sample. This study aims to obtain a description of hospital wastewater characteristics and to evaluate the performance of the hospital WWTP in Palu. Data collection was done by taking data indirectly through laboratory test results during 2015-2019. Tabulating data using Excel software to illustrate statistics, then presented in the form of bar charts, interpreting according to the quality standards. Investigation results showed that the characteristics of hospital inlet wastewater in Palu are parameter values varying with four high concentration parameters: total coliform, TSS, Ammonia Nitrogen, and COD. The efficiency level of WWTP hospitals in Palu is relatively low in removing pollutants.

Wastewater contains pollutants that can disturb the balance of the ecosystem in the form of health problems, water quality degradation and others. According to Said, (2008) the problem experienced in almost all cities in Indonesia is wastewater pollution. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of conditions and performance values, factors that influence the conditions and performance of Communal WWTPs in Sleman Regency Yogyakarta. The method used in this study is an interview with the help of guidelines to respondents who have been determined. The location of the sample collection was determined by the stratified random sampling method based on the District and Village for the decision of data collection at 30 Communal WWTPs of Sleman Regency. The results of the interview are processed by the Likert scoring method and then drawn with the Radar Chart. The factors that influence the conditions and performance of Communal WWTPs are then obtained from the ranking of the criteria for the conditions and performance of Communal WWTPs that have been calculated. The results showed that overall Communal WWTPs in Sleman Regency had conditions and performance with a value of 2.98 which was included in the interval of value 3 with a fairly good category. This value consists of the value of the technical aspect of 3.52 with a very good category, the value of the environmental aspect of 2.94 with a fairly good category, and the value of the socio-economic aspect of 2.48 with a rather poor category. Factors that influence the condition and performance of Communal WWTPs in Sleman Regency whose value is still less than expected are the maintenance of facilities with a value of 2.27, the load of wastewater with a value of 2.43, the institutional value of 2.47, and the management performance monitoring program with a value of 2.50 which falls into the rather poor value category.

This paper deals with the design of a pre-compensated multi-variable quantitative feedback theory (QFT)-based fully populated matrix controller for an activated sludge treatment process (ASTP) of a waste water treatment plant (WWTP). The regulation of the concentration of biochemical oxygen demand ([Formula: see text]) and ammonium-ion ([Formula: see text]) is the control objective. The plant dynamics are obtained using physical laws available in the literature. The parametric uncertainty is quantified from the measurement data obtained from a real ASTP of an oil refinery. The model is duly cross-validated. A novel technique is proposed to design a pre-compensator that will enhance the diagonal dominance of the plant transfer function matrix. A diagonal controller and a pre-filter, are then designed using a sequential multi-input multi-output (MIMO) QFT-based methodology to meet a set of performance specifications such as relative stability, disturbance rejection, robust tracking and so forth. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. A comparative analysis with reported works shows that the proposed control scheme outperforms some of the reported control strategies.

Intense human activities may strongly affect coastal environments threatening natural, societal and economic resources. In order to propose adequate measures to preserve coastal marine areas, a thorough understanding of their physical and biogeochemical features is required. This study focuses on one such coastal area, Izmir Bay located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Izmir Bay is a highly populated area subject to many human induced stressors such as pollution and eutrophication, that has been suffering high nutrient loads for decades. Despite the construction of the Çiğli waste water treatment plant in 2000-2001 to reduce eutrophication, such pressures continue to occur. To study the current physical and biogeochemical dynamics of Izmir Bay and their spatial and temporal variability, a three-dimensional coupled hydrodynamic-ecosystem model (Delft3D modelling suite’s FLOW and ECO modules) is implemented. Using the model, the effect of excessive inorganic nutrient loading on the marine ecosystem as the main cause of this eutrophication is explored in an effort to advise on mitigation efforts for the Bay focusing on eliminating eutrophication. Results of different model scenarios show that the Inner and Middle Bay are nitrogen-limited while the Outer Bay is phosphorus-limited. Inner regions are more sensitive to variations in inorganic nitrogen input due to the low (<16) N/P ratio of nutrients in seawater. An increase in inorganic nitrogen triggers eutrophication events with primary production as an immediate response. Conversely, the Outer Bay ecosystem with N/P ratios above 16 is more sensitive to phosphate inputs, of which an increase causes a considerable enhancement in algal production. This study shows the vulnerability of Izmir Bay to anthropogenic nutrient input and model simulations indicate that management plans should consider reducing DIN discharges both in the inner-middle zones of Izmir Bay as well as inputs from the Gediz River. Additionally, phosphate inputs should be reduced to avoid an overall increase of algal production in the Outer Bay, the larger part of Izmir Bay.

Abstract This article deals with pharmaceutical compounds as micropollutants in anaerobic digestion of sludge from waste water treatment plant (WWTP). Part of the work included the research into presence of pharmaceuticals in different types of waters. Description of anaerobic fermentation process is also important in terms of optimal conditions. The practical aim of the investigation was preparation of a model of anaerobic fermentation of sewage sludge, where influence of pharmaceuticals on mesophilic anaerobic digestion was monitored. Wash out of micropollutants from sludge in big semicontinuous anaerobic reactors was running since October 2013. The resulting non-adapted sludge from mesophilic reactor was used since March 2014 for pharmaceuticals tests in half-a-litre glass bottles with a septum cap. The compounds of interest were diclofenac, tramadol, ibuprofen, carbamazepine and amoxicillin and their concentration in the tested sludge was 10 μg/L and 500 μg/L. The results showed that pharmaceuticals have different influence on the amount of produced biogas even if they are from the same therapeutic group. In the low concentration, the inhibition was present for diclofenac, carbamazepine and amoxicillin, at the high concentration, while diclofenac showed almost no influence. Other compounds caused a stimulative effect on the process. The mixture of all pharmaceuticals of interest in low concentration was stimulative at first, while it was inhibotory since mid-time of the test.
