3 Methods of wastewater treatment - 1 Preliminary wastewater treatment: removal of those constituents that may cause maintenance or operational problems with the treatment operations, processes and ancillary systems. Screening and comminution for the removal of debris Grit removal for the elimination of coarse suspended solids Floatation for the removal of oil and grease Primary wastewater treatment: removal of a portion of the suspended solids and organic matter. Primary sedimentation Secondary wastewater treatment: removal of biodegradable organics and suspended solids. Activated sludge Trickling filters Lagoons 3

4 Methods of wastewater treatment - 2 Nutrient removal: Removal of nitrogen and posphorous, required for i) discharge to confined bodies where cultural eutrophication may occur; ii)discharge to flowing streams where nitrification can tax oxygen resources. Biological processes (coupled with secondary treatment) Chemical processes Combination of biological and chemical processes. Advanced wastewater treatment: the level of treatment required beyond conventional secondary treatment and nutrient removal to remove: i) increased amounts of organic material, suspended solids and nutrients (for water reuse) ii)constituents of concern, including toxic compounds Chemical coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation Filtration Activated carbon Ion exchange Reverse osmosis 4

5 Methods of wastewater treatment - 3 Sludge processing: unit operations and processes or systems used to process the sludge removed from the liquid portion of the wastewater (partcularly in primary and secondary treatment). Thickening (concentration): a procedure used to increase the solids content of sludge by removing a portion of liquid. Gravity thickening Floatation thickening Centrifugation thickening Stabilisation: sludges are stabilised to: i) reduce pathogens; ii) eliminate offensive odors; iii) Reduce or eliminate potentials for putrefaction. Biological reduction of the volatile matter Chemical oxidation of the volatile matter Chemical inhibition of microbial growth Thermal disisnfection Conditioning: to increase the sludge dewatering characteristics. Chemical Thermal Dewatering: mechanical unit operation used to reduce the moisture content of sludge. Press filtration centrifugation 5
