Abstract:
Performance data from a pilot-plant employing the four-stage aerated submerged fixed film (ASFF) process treating domestic wastewater were analyzed to examine the organic removal rates. The process has shown high BOD removal efficiencies (> 90%) over a wide range of hydraulic loading rates (0.04 to 0.68 m3/m2·d). It could also cope with high hydraulic and organic loadings with minimal loss in efficiency due to the large amount of immobilized biomass attained. The organic (BOD and COD) removal rate was influenced by the hydraulic loadings applied, but organic removal rates of up to 104 k

Abstract The effect of shock-loading on the performance of a full-scale down-flow hanging sponge (DHS), used to treat effluent from an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket treating municipal sewage, was evaluated. This full-scale DHS reactor comprises a polyurethane sponge that retains the sludge. It has a capacity of 500 m3/day and, at the time of this study, had been operating at a sewage treatment plant in India for more than 1,300 days. The DHS reactor was exposed to shock loadings of organics at double the normal rate for 400 min under summer and winter conditions. The results showed that the

Abstract:
Infrared partial least squares (PLS) analysis is shown to provide a simple, rapid chemometric technique for the simultaneous analysis of soil properties. The method is capable of extracting both qualitative and quantitative information from soil spectra. A number of the mineral and organic components which are responsible for certain soil properties have been identified and the prediction of these properties assessed. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform (DRIFT) spectra of whole soils were recorded to form a large training data set. The spectral information from this set was compress

Abstract:
The kinetic model of organic removal in single biological aerated filter for domestic waste water treatment was established, and kinetic parameter was calibrated under certain hydraulic loadings. The results showed that organic removal efficiency was affected by the concentration of the influent COD, hydraulic loadings and the height of filter media when the reactor size was unchangeable. It is found that the model was accurate in predicting the effluent quality by the experiment and it could afford new reference evident to optimize the treatment processes.

Abstract Annual flow volumes and contaminant mass discharges from such sources as stormwater runoff, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sewage treatment plant (STP) effluents were computed for 47 urban centres located in 17 Canadian Areas of Concern (AOCs).

The relative annual flow volume contribution from individual sources varies significantly among AOC areas. By effluent type, stormwater runoff contributes 17 to 65%, CSOs 1 to 6%, and STP effluents about 35 to 80%. During wet weath

An anaerobic filter (AF) and a downflow stationary fixed film (DSFF) reactor were used for the treatment of a tuna processing wastewater. Start-up of the anaerobic reactors was improved using lactose as co-substrate. The AF removed up to 75% of the influent COD concentrations at organic loading rates (OLR) of 11-13 kg COD m−3 d−1, whereas the DSFF reactor removed 70% at 3 kg COD m−3 d−1. Based on these results it appears that anaerobic treatment systems are applicable to tuna processing industry wastewaters and that the AF shows a much better performance, allowing higher organic loadings and C

In this study, a full-scale membrane bioreactor treated some 110 m3/d of wastewater and organic loadings up to 1,600 kg COD per day.

These measurements together with viscosity measurements reported in the literature show that the viscosity of brown LSOA increases by 3–5 orders of magnitude as the aw decreases from 0.9 to approximately 0.05.
