    LESSON 5 Wastewater Treatment and Disposal

    Primary treatment involves removing grit, sedimentation, and primary clarification. Grit such as sand and glass is removed using grit chambers to prevent damage to equipment. In sedimentation, particles heavier than water are allowed to settle in tanks, forming sludge at the bottom. Primary clarifiers further separate solids from sewage after grit removal. Secondary treatment using microorganisms biologically breaks down organic pollutants, mostly through activated sludge and trickling filter processes. Microbes like bacteria and fungi metabolize organics in wastewater, converting them to carbon dioxide.

    Wastewater Treatment and


    Disposal
    Lesson 5
    Primary Treatment
    pegslides 2014
    Grit removal
    The removal of gritty material
    suspended in raw sewage such as sand,
    coffee grounds, eggshells, etc.

    Flow velocity should not be less than
    the self-cleansing velocity (0.6 m/s)
    pegslides 2014
    Grit
    Inert dense material such as sand,
    broken glass, silt and pebbles

    When not removed from wastewater,
    they abrade pumps and devices

    Settle in corners and bends reducing
    flow capacity
    pegslides 2014
    Grit chambers
    Long, narrow tanks wherein production
    in velocity and collection of grit are
    made

    Rising air bubbles help to keep the
    organic solids in suspension while grit
    settles in the bottom
    pegslides 2014
    Water Treatment Process
    1. Primary treatment
    a. Screening
    b. Comminuting
    c. Grit removal
    d. Sedimentation

    2. Secondary treatment
    a. Sloughing
    b. Recirculation
    pegslides 2014
    Sedimentation
    When flow velocities and turbulence
    are minimal, particles that are
    denser than water settle to the
    bottom of the tank.

    Sludge layer of accumulated solids
    at the bottom of the tank
    pegslides 2014
    Primary clarifiers
    Settling tanks that receive sewage
    after grit removal

    Coagulants
    chemicals that allow very small suspended
    particles to collide, stick together and
    form settleable flocs
    increase removal efficiency of primary
    settling tanks
    pegslides 2014
    Secondary Treatment
    pegslides 2014
    Secondary Treatment
    To achieve BOD and TSS removal
    efficiencies of at least 85% as
    required by the Clean Water Act, this
    process must follow

    Purpose: to remove the suspended
    solids that did not settle out in the
    primary tanks
    pegslides 2014
    Microorganisms
    Biological treatment of sewage
    involves the use of microbes to
    consume the organic pollutants as
    food.

    Examples:
    Bacteria
    Fungi
    Algae
    Protozoa
    Rotifers and Crustaceans
    pegslides 2014
    Why should we keep microbes happy?
    Microbes metabolize the biodegradable
    organics. Thus converting them into
    CO
    2
    .

    They stabilize the organic pollutants
    in a controlled, artificial
    environment (the tank)
    pegslides 2014
    Most Common Biological Treatments
    1. Trickling Filter
    2. Activated Sludge Process
    pegslides 2014
    Trickling Filters
    Consists of a bed of crushed rock
    (~2m deep)

    Usually in circular with a diameter
    as large as 60m
    pegslides 2014
    Trickling Filter Process
    Primary effluent
    is wastewater that flows out from a
    treatment plant or individual treatment
    process
    is sprayed over the surface of the
    crushed stone bed and trickles downward
    to an underdrain system
    pegslides 2014
    Trickling Filter
    Is not a filter at all, in the true
    sense of the word.

    The stones in a trickling filter only
    serve to provide a large amount of
    surface area for the biological
    growth
    pegslides 2014
    Underdrain System
    Serves to collect and carry away the
    wastewater from the bottom of the bed
    and to permit air circulation upward
    through the stones
    pegslides 2014
    Sloughing
    Pronounced as sluffing

    When slime layer gets thicker and
    gets washed off from surfaces of
    stones by flowing water
    pegslides 2014
    Secondary Clarifier
    Also known as final clarifier

    A sedimentation tank where the
    collected trickling filter effluent
    in the underdrain system is conveyed
    pegslides 2014
    Recirculation
    Can serve to improve the pollutant
    removal efficiency

    Direct Recirculation one common
    pattern of recirculation
    pegslides 2014
    Activated Sludge
    Is a suspended-growth system because
    microbes are thoroughly mixed and
    suspended in the wastewater flows
    rather than attached to a particular
    surface
