Wastewater Treatment Technologies – A Basic Guide

The National Water Act, 1998 (Act 36 of 1998) (NWA) states that sustainability and equity are central guiding principles in the protection, use, development, conservation, management and control of water resources. In essence the use of water and development aspects need to be managed or controlled in such a manner to protect and conserve water resources. Wastewater treatment works (WWTW), more commonly referred to as sewage works, are just one of the many uses of water that are required when development takes place. In order to ensure that the development takes place in a manner that will be sustainable the WWTW chosen needs to be a technology type that will be suitable for a particular development and not necessarily the best available technology.

Digital Control of a Waste Water Treatment Plant

Abstract: The Activated Sludge Process (ASP) is arguably the most popular bioprocess utilized in the treatment of polluted water. The ASP is described by means of a nonlinear model and results on a Two-Input Two-Output multivariable system. In this paper a discrete time digital control is proposed where the design of a decentralized controller is faced. Local controllers are given the form of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom PI controller tuned using the data-driven Virtual-Reference Feedback tuning approach.

Design Guide for Wastewater Treatment Plants in Saudi Arabia

Introduction Saudi Arabia has witnessed a huge urban growth in the past thirty years which led to a huge increase in the urban area and a population growth. Both were so fast for the sewage services programs (public utilities) to keep up with them, especially in urban areas. Therefore, sewage facilities are some of the most underdeveloped facilities in the country due to many reasons: the high cost of establishing these facilities compared to the other ones (infrastructure), the lack of knowledge of the seen and unseen risks of the absence of these facilities, in addition to the nonappearance of any problems from using Byaras (Septic Tank) in most of the developed districts until the population density of these districts was reached.

Anaerobic Treatment of Domestic Wastewater (Present Status and Potentialities)

The book presents the state of knowledge and the future perspectives of anaerobic processes applied as mainstream treatment of domestic wastewater, which in the last few decades, due to the development of effective technologies such as the high-rate bioreactors, became competitive with the conventional aerobic process even in moderate climatic regions. The book consists of 12 chapters covering the main aspects related to the anaerobic treatment of domestic wastewater including engineering, microbiology, process monitoring and control, sustainability derived by energy and resource recovery, life-cycle assessment, and techno-economic analysis. Effective technologies namely upflow anaerobic sludge blanket bioreactors, membrane bioreactors, and granular and immobilized biomass systems, potentially able to achieve removal performance of high organics even at low temperatures, are presented in detail, and their status of application is reported.

Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we present this comprehensive book, Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater, which delves into the critical challenges posed by emerging contaminants in wastewater and explores innovative detection and treatment methods. Wastewater management has always been a matter of paramount importance for the preservation of our green environment and the well-being of society. However, with the rampant advancements in industrial and technological sectors, new contaminants have emerged, presenting unprecedented challenges for conventional wastewater treatment processes. Emerging contaminants, such as micro and macro plastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, possess the potential to adversely impact on aquatic ecosystems and human health.
