Optimization of Coagulation and Flocculation Process in Wastewater Treatment of the Food Industry: A Laboratory Study
Background and Objectives: Food industry wastewater has a high pollution load, which is due to water consumption at various stages. In the absence of adequate wastewater management and supervision of the food industry, this wastewater can be considered as a source of environmental pollution. This study aimed to optimize the coagulation and flocculation process for the treatment of food industry...

متن کاملSampling strategy for detecting viruses in a sewage treatment plant.
A study of pollutant flows was carried out at a wastewater treatment plant in Nancy, France, which used activated-sludge treatment. To carry out observation of hourly flow variation, a sampling strategy needs to be defined. A comparison between two methods of sampling was conducted: dip samples every 2 h over a period of 24 h and one 24-h composite sample were taken from raw and treated wastewa...
متن کاملExpert System Design for Sewage Treatment Plant
Nowadays the field of centralized control is linked to major production processes or industrial applications, where the flow of information allows optimizing the total production process. In the area of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) (Wang & Kai-Yi, 2009), however it is still underdeveloped (Liao, 2009). Perhaps the reason is not the lack of capacity for the design or the cost of the techno...
متن کاملPontiac fever: an operational definition for epidemiological studies
BACKGROUND Pontiac fever is usually described in epidemic settings. Detection of Pontiac fever is a marker of an environmental contamination by Legionella and should thereby call for prevention measures in order to prevent outbreak of Legionnaire's disease. The objective of this study is to propose an operational definition of Pontiac fever that is amenable to epidemiological surveillance and i...
