Efficiency of wastewater treatment on the example in „Lipnica Wielka” sewage treatment plant

In the article presents effectiveness of sewage treatment in Sewage Treatment Plant in Lipnica Wielka. The domestic sewage follow into the Sewage Treatment Plant in gravity system. The method used for sewage treatment is based on the active sludge method with chemical precipitation of phosphor. The research was carried out in the period from March 2009 to June 2010. The analysis was performed on samples of raw and treated sewage. Three indicators of pollutants were analysed: BOD5, COD, total suspended solids. Furthermore was determined the volume of sewage flowing into the sewage treatment plant.Basing on the results analysis, effectiveness of BOD5 reduction was defined on the level of 96,23%, COD- 91,42% and total suspended solids - 95,71%. Also it was observed that research of volume of sewage flowing into the sewage treatment plant, were indicated a hydraulically underload.     ...

The efficiency of the sewage treatment based on the sewage treatment plant in Dobczyce

The paper presents the efficiency of the sewage treatment based on the ex-ample of the sewage treatment plant in Dobczyce. The resarch was based on the analysis of 44 raw sewage and treated sewage from January 2007 to December 2010. Values of five selected pollution indexes were analyzed: BOD5, COD, total suspended solids, general nitrogen and general phosporus. The amount of the transgressions of the admissible index values in relation to the water law permis-sion was defind. The effectiveness of the indexes' decrease In the tested period was analyzed. The carried out research showed the high efficiency of the pollutants amount decrease: BOD5 - 98,9%, COD - 97,6%, total suspended solids - 97,6%, general nitrogen - 89,4%, general phosporus - 97,6%. ...

RELIABILITY OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS PROCESSING SEWAGE FROM SCHOOL BUILDINGS LOCATED IN NON-URBAN AREAS

The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of two on-site sewage treatment facilities (BCT S-12 and TJ EP-4) serving two school buildings located in rural communes in Małopolska region. The reliability was determined using Weibull reliability method. The research was conducted for 24 months and it involved the collection and analysis of 48 samples of raw and treated sewage from each facility. The analyses included organic and biogenic pollution, i.e. BOD5, COD, and total nitrogen. Reliability assessment revealed the following effectiveness for BCT S-12 facility: 77% for BOD5, 96% for COD and 25% for total nitrogen. For TJ EP-4 facility, the effectiveness was 81%, 88% and 72% for BOD5, COD and total nitrogen, respectively. Both facilities used the activated sludge process and experienced periodic disturbances in the treatment flow that resulted in reduced sewage treatment efficiency. Considering the above, the processes of nitrification and denitrification in the biological reactor should be streamlined to provide more effective removal of organic and nitrogen-based compounds in the investigated facilities. ...

CONCENTRATIONS OF ORGANIC AND BIOGENIC POLLUTANTS IN DOMESTIC WASTEWATER AFTER MECHANICAL TREATMENT IN THE ASPECT OF BIOLOGICAL REACTOR DESIGN

The aim of the study was to determine the value and concentration indicators of BOD5, COD and general nitrogen in domestic wastewater after mechanical treatment, which should be considered in the design of the activated sludge reactor. Ninety-nine samples of raw wastewater and after mechanical treatment were then collected and physicochemical analysis was carried out. The quantity of pollutants in the raw wastewater was verified to determine if this was domestic wastewater. The next stage of the analysis included the definition of the characteristic quantity of the analysed indicators in wastewater after mechanical treatment, which should be taken into account while calibrating computer programs supporting the design of biological reactor chambers. A detailed analysis led to the conclusion that mean values for BOD5 - 300 mgO2·dm-3, for COD - 500 mgO2·dm-3and for total nitrogen 50 mgN·dm-3 should be applied. The work also determined the susceptibility of wastewater after mechanical treatment to the decomposition of organic and biogenic compounds. ...
