Introduction: Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater Engineering

Branch of Environmental Engineering in which the basic Principles of Science and Engineering are applied to solve the problems of Water related pollution control.

Goal – Wastewater Management, Protection of environment in a manure commensurate with economic, Social and Political concerns.

Polluted river

world's most polluted river ??


AAMH


Sources of Generation – Water carried wastes removed from Residence, Institutions, Commercial and Industrial establishment.

Technically, wastewater contains organic and inorganic matter, rich in microorganisms (some are pathogenic) and mainly made up of 99.9% water and 0.1% solids.


AAMH


Most water that we used ends up as wastewater that needs to be disposed.

Wastewater collected from cities and towns which returned to receiving water bodies and or land as well as in ground water aquifers. Scientific knowledge, Engineering judgments based on experience, local conditions and regulations are very important issues on how we conserve our environment from water pollution.

A wastewater treatment plant functions to treat wastewaters from any source such as from a community, locality or township.

AAMH

Reasons for treating: Protect public health Protect surface-water quality. Managing the wastewater well. Protect ecosystem Meet legal requirements and regulations

Specific concern: Pathogenic organismsPathogen = specific agent causing diseasePathogenic = capable of causing disease

Wastewater treatment as part of the main infrastructure. Indicator of civilization. As important as other basic need of development, such as

water supply, drainage, transportation, electricity, telecommunication, etc.

Pollution PreventionWastewater contains high pollutantsExample : BOD5 = 250 mg/L

BOD std = 50 mg/L SS = 360 mg/L SS std = 100 mg/L

Leachate contains : Temp = 27oC COD = 1925 mg/L

Color = 3869 PtCo

Collection Treatment Discharges

Preventing water-borne diseases.Reducing outbreak of diseases.Wastewater contains pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, worms, protozoa, helminthes, etc.)

Collection company : Indah water, Alam Flora, Idaman bersih, Jalutong (WWE Holdings BHD)

What will happen if there is no company to do collection, treatment and discharge???How about Reclamation and Reuse / Irrigation?

AAMH

Objectives: Wastewater Treatment Objective of wastewater treatment is to get the

quality of final effluent to be in a good standard A or B (Malaysia).

To reach this standard, the design of wastewater treatment plant must be compliance in removing wastewater loads in order to get a high quality of final effluent within the fix specification

Therefore, a civil and environmental engineer has a responsible to design a suitable plant

The important of treatment showed in Following Figure 1.1

AAMH

Criteria’s : Wastewater / Sewage

Figure 1.1, shows the thickness/density of wastewater from nearby town is 280mg/L of BOD and 360mg/L of SS respectively.

If standard B is followed, value of BOD and SS is < 50mg/L and < 100mg/L respectively

Therefore, the treatment plant which can removed these recorded wastewater loads data should be followed.

AAMH

Data from Table 1.1, taken from the analysis of sewage sample, x. Tested to the organic, inorganic and BOD5 concentration.

AAMH

From Table 1.1:Total composition (1+2), consist of organic substances (1), inorganic (2). In this case, mineral is inorganic substance. e.g: sodium, sulfate and others

BOD5 is the value within the total space which evaluation of oxygen on the day 5.

Concentration of organic load in sewage can be SS and DS. SS can be both settleable and unsettle-able.


AAMH


From Table 1.1, can be concluded:• (54/90)*% = 60% out of total SS can be settled.

• (19/42)*% = 45% from BOD5 can be removed through sedimentation process.

• This data is to prove that sedimentation (physical treatment) only unable to remove all the BOD5.

• In other words, if only sludge pond is used to the eliminate sewage, then there will be 55% (100-45%) That is the BOD5 concentration in our final effluent.

• Therefore, the biological treatment is essential in removing organic concentration in wastewater.

AAMH

Wastewater QualityThe design of a wastewater treatment plant requires

knowledge of:

Quantity or flow rate of wastewater.Required to determine the size of the various unit operations and unit processes.

Quality of raw wastewater.Required to determine which unit operations and processes to be used.

Quality required for the effluent (treated wastewater).Required to determine the degree of treatment needed to produce the required quality of the effluent.

AAMH

Wastewater Quality

The quantity of wastewater produced varies in different communities and countries, depending on a number of factors such as water uses, climate, lifestyle, economics, etc.

A typical wastewater flow rate from a residential home in the US might average 70 gallons (265 L) per capita per day. Approximately 60 to 85 percent of the per capita consumption of water becomes wastewater.

Wastewater flow rates Commercial developments: 800 to 1500 gal/(acre.d)

(7.5 to 14 m3/(ha.d)) Industries - light industry: 1000 to 1500 gal/(acre.d)

(9.4 to 14 m3/(ha.d)) - medium industry: 1500 to 3000 gal/(acre.d)

(14 to 28 m3/(ha.d))

AAMH

Wastewater Quality

Definitions: Daily measured flow at a sewage works during a period of dry weather, or The rate of flow of sewage (domestic & industrial wastes), together with infiltration

if any, in a sewer in dry weather – measured after a period of seven consecutive days of dry weather during which the rainfall has not exceeded 0.25 mm

_______________________________________________________________

DWF from municipal catchments can be divided into waters from household, institutions, business areas, industries, drainage of buildings and infiltration.

In the absence of flow measurements, the DWF is computed from the population and per capita sewage flow or water consumption.

For example:A community of 100 persons with an average per capita sewage flow of 200 L/dDWF = 20,000 L

= 20 m3

This represents a flow of 20,000 L/24 h or 0.23 L/s

At a large sewage works the flows entering the works in dry weather are like to be 50% of the DWF at any point in time.

Dry Weather Flow (DWF)

AAMH

Wastewater Quality

When the available information is in terms of population densities, and assuming that maximum domestic sewage DWF is 230 L per capita per day (Code of Practice 2005), the DWF can be calculated from the following equation:

DWF = dry weather flow (L/s)D = population density (person/hectare)A = area (hectare)

Definition:Definition:Dry Weather Flow Rate is the rate of average sewage Dry Weather Flow Rate is the rate of average sewage

that is calculated based on the total population and that is calculated based on the total population and their water usage daily per capita. their water usage daily per capita.

Wastewater Quality

Identification of Quantity of DWFIdentification of Quantity of DWF

Through some calculation methods. Usually can be calculated from the quantity of water

per capita. In the operating plant, DWF is determined by

measurement of the actual flow rate of wastewater to the plant for certain of period using flow rate meter.

For future plants, the design flow rate is base on the total usage of water per capita multiply by total residents.

AAMH

Wastewater Quality

Calculation methodCalculation method(i) Quantity of water * population equivalent

DWF = (q, water usage)(PE, populations)= (225 L/capita.day)*(1000

capita)= 225 m3/day

(ii) (Water supplied * populations)-lostDWF = (i) –(20~30% lost)

= 70~80% (supplied water* populations)


AAMH

Wastewater Quality

Calculation methodCalculation method(iii) (Water supplied * populations) + other sources –

lostDWF = (i) + (other source such as well) – (20~30% lost)

(iv) Sewage record of short period measurement of actual flow rate at site in a short term. accurate, but for its long term there is no actual data. i.e.: record for 3 days is 1000 l/min and it is only for 3 days

period.

(v) Sewage record of long period same as for the previous one. base on minimum and maximum value of

the sewage it is suitable for design purpose.


AAMH

Wastewater Quality

Example :

a) The rate of water usage for 10000 people is 250 L/capita.day, calculate the value for DWF.

b) Rate of water usage for 20000 people is 250 L/capita.day and the fraction of sewage/water is 0.67, calculate the value for DWF.

Solution:a) DWF = q*P

= (250 L/capita.day) (10 000 people)= 2 500 000 liter/day= 2500 m3/day

b) DWF= (0.67*20 000 x 0.25 m3/day)= 3350 m3/day
