Selection of the Wastewater TreatmenProcess
1. The selection of a wastewater treatment process or acombination of processes depends upon;
The characteristics of the wastewater The form of the pollutant i.e. Suspended, colloidal, dissolved The biodegradability, and The toxicity of the organic and inorganic components2. The required effluent quality
3. The cost and availability of land for any given wastewatertreatment problems One or more possible solutions Perform cost analysis of each one-to find the most cost
effective

Equalization
Equalization is the operation aimed at eliminating or
minimizing the problems associated with fluctuations in
wastewater flow and characteristics.

Purpose of Equalization Basin for Industrialtreatment facilities:
To minimize fluctuations in flow rate to thetreatment plant.
To provide reduction of organic fluctuations in orderto prevent shock loading of biological systems.
Reduce fluctuations in wastewater pH . To minimize chemical requirements necessary for
neutralization. To minimize flow surges to physical-chemical
treatment systems and permit chemical feed rates
compatible with feeding equipment.

Purpose of Equalization Basin for Industrialtreatment facilities:
To provide continuous feed to biological systems overperiods when the manufacturing plant is notoperating.
To provide capacity for controlled discharge ofwastes to municipal systems in order to distributewaste loads more evenly.
To prevent high concentration of toxic materials fromentering the biological treatment plant .

Equalization
Design Consideration The equalization basin may be sized to restrict the
discharge to its maximum concentration
commensurate with the maximum permissibledischarge from subsequent units.
Example, If the maximum effluent from an activatedsludge unit is 50 mg/l BOD5.the maximum effluentfrom the equalization basin may be computes andthereby provide a basis for sizing the unit.

Steps for Finding Capacity of Equalization Basin(Concentration Equalization )
1. Calculate the Wastewater volumes entering theequalization tank during each time interval
2. Calculate Wastewater volumes pumping out from theequalization tank
3. Calculate cumulative influent volume4. Calculate the change in storage during each interval.5. Calculate the cumulative change in storage from a
interval where tank is near to empty6. The effect of flow equalization of BOD mass loading
rate:7. The necessary computations will start from the interval
when the tank is empty.
