The public issue in this case was concerning the quality of water TCCC was using‚ how safe if was for its consumers‚ and the deprivation of water from local villagers. In this case‚ the stakeholders were concerned with TCCC’s water consumption claiming it deprived local villagers of supplies for drinking water and irrigation‚ and depleting groundwater by its processes. They also raised concerns with the

CONCEPT: * BOD Removal Rates and Factors First the concept of Biological Oxidation Demand (BOD) should be introduced. Organic compounds in wastewater may be used as food for bacteria‚ which can biochemically digest or oxidize the organic compounds to produce energy for growth. This oxidation of organic material‚ if done under aerobic

1.0 Introduction Wastewater refers to any water whose quality has been compromised by human activities. It includes liquid waste discharged from domestic homes‚ agricultural commercial sectors‚ pharmaceutical sectors‚ and hospitals (Fekadu et al.‚ 2015). Hospital wastewater (HWW) can contain hazardous substances‚ such as pharmaceutical residues‚ chemical hazardous substances‚ pathogens‚ and radioisotopes. Due to these substances‚ hospital wastewater can represent a chemical‚ biological‚ and

Kalamazoo wastewater treatment plant On October 22‚ 2011‚ a group of students from the class of CHEG 2610 visited the Kalamazoo Water Reclamation Plant (KWRP) to learn more about the process to treat wastewater around the Kalamazoo area. To clean up the water‚ the KWRP used the Activated Sludge‚ which is a biological treatment technique in which a mixture of wastewater and biological sludge (microorganisms) is agitated and aerated. The Kalamazoo wastewater treatment plant has been renewed since

Antibiotic Pharmaceutical Wastewater Using a Rotating Biological Contactor One of the treatment of the wastewater is the treatment of antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater using a rotating biological contactor. For your information‚ Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) are effective for treating wastewater‚ while they are rarely reported to be used for treating antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater (APW). Next‚ the biological treatment processes have been widely used in wastewater treatment for their low

The global market for biocides is expected to reach USD 10‚745.7 million by 2020‚ according to a new study by Grand View Research‚ Inc. Growing population coupled with growing concerns for industrial waste water treatment is expected to drive biocide demand over the next six years. In addition‚ positive outlook on key application markets such as textiles‚ paints and coatings‚ primarily in Asia Pacific‚ Latin America and Eastern Europe‚ is also expected to boost the demand for biocides over the forecast

Assessment Report - Rietspruit WWTW 27-09-2009 The plant currently does not comply with the DWA wastewater discharge standards. There are major challenges with respect to operation‚ maintenance and some equipment status at the plants. Some of the problems identified that are hampering the non-compliance of the final effluents are as follows: • Flow meters are not calibrated (incorrect flow readings) and this makes it difficult to optimize the plant with respect to flows into different modules

What is an Effluent? Effluent is an out flowing of water or gas from a natural body or a man made structure. Effluent is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as “wastewater - treated or untreated - that flows out of a treatment plant‚ sewer‚ or industrial outfall. Generally refers to wastes discharged into surface waters”. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary defines effluent as “liquid waste or sewage discharged into a river or the sea”.
