INTRODUCTION TO WASTE
WATER MANAGEMENT
Industrial wastewater
from places like factories, restaurants, stores,
schools, and hospitals, is called ICI (industrial,
commercial, institutional) flow.
BASIS TERMINOLOGIES
Treated wastewater
wastewater that has been processed through a
wastewater treatment plant up to certain standards
in order to reduce its pollution or health hazard; if
this is not fulfilled; the wastewater is considered at
best as partially treated.
Reclaimed wastewater
treated wastewater that can officially be used
under controlled conditions for beneficial
purposes such as irrigation
COLLECTION OF WW??
Sewage is conveyed in pipes known as sewers from
its place of production to its place of treatment and
disposal.
The sewers are usually in network of underground
conduits. They are either of the separate or
combined system
Pattern of sewer network
Type of system ,Street layout,Topography ,Location and type of
treatment works
WHY TREATING WW??
Reduce organic content
(reduction of BOD)
Removal/reduction of nutrients
(i.e., N,P)
Removal/inactivation of pathogenic
microbes
Reduce the turbidity level
(reduction of suspended solids /sediment
WW TREATMENT
The major categories of treatment steps:
Preliminary treatment:
this removes materials that could damage plant equipment or would
occupy treatment capacity without being treated.
Primary treatment:
this removes settleable and floatable solids
Secondary treatment:
this removes BOD, dissolved and colloidal suspended organic matter
by biological action.
Advanced wastewater treatment:
this uses physical, chemical and biological processes to remove
additional BOD, Solids and nutrients.
Disinfection:
this removes microorganisms to eliminate or reduce the possibility of
disease when the flow is discharged
Sludge treatment:
this stabilizes the solids removed from wastewater during treatment,
inactivates pathogenic organisms and reduces the volume of the
sludge.
