Analysis of Plant and Soil from Alum Sludge Farm of Drinking Water Treatment Plant

Two strategies for phosphorus removal from reject water of municipal wastewater treatment plant using alum sludge.

In view of the well recognized need of reject water treatment in MWWTP (municipal wastewater treatment plant), this paper outlines two strategies for P removal from reject water using alum sludge, which is produced as by-product in drinking water treatment plant when aluminium sulphate is used for flocculating raw waters. One strategy is the use of the alum sludge in liquid form for co-conditio...

Alum Sludge as a Soil Amendment: Effects on Soil Properties and Plant Growth

Investigation of Trihalomethanes in Drinking Water of Abbas Abad Water Treatment Plant

Introduction: Chlorination is the most common and successful method for disinfection of drinking water, especially in developing countries. However, due to the probability of formation of disinfection by-products especially Trihalomethanes (THMs) that are known as hazardous and usually carcinogenic compounds, this study was conducted to assess the investigation of THMs in drinking water of Abba...

Characteristics and disposal options of sludge from a steel mill wastewater treatment plant

In the present study, sludge from a steel wastewater treatment plant (SWWTP) was analyzed regarding its physicochemical characteristics and metal contents, and disposal options. For these purposes, grab sampling was used to collect 18 slurry and 18 cake sludge samples in 6 mouth (May-October 2012). Mann-Whitney U test, one sample T-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied to analyze the ...

Artificial Intelligence Based Alum Dosage Control in Water Treatment Plant

Supplying good quality of drinking water is a challenging task during the rainy season and floods. During this period water becomes highly polluted with suspended solids which increase the water turbidity. Alum is used to reduce the turbidity of the water. Typically in water treatment plants alum dosage is decided by the Jar test and the desired alum dosage is added manually. This research prop...
