with regard to environmental issues, proper operation of wastewater treatment plants is of particular importance that in the case of inappropriate utilization, they will cause serious problems. in order to achieve a better and efficient control over the operation of an industrial wastewater treatment plant (wwtp), powerful mathematical tool can be used that is based on recorded data from some b...

Local utilities often face problems of local industrial wastes, storm water disposal due to existing strict regulations. For many local industries, the problem of wastewater treatment and discharge into surface reservoirs can’t be solved through the use of conventional biological treatment techniques. Current discharge standards require very strict removal of a number of impurities such as ammo...

The objectives of the present study were to recover and identify volatiles organic compounds (VOCs) in the wastewater (WW) coming from a soluble coffee industrial plant. For VOCs recover, the WW was concentrated by pervaporation using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane. Furthermore, the solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used for VOCs i...

Leather industries are key contributors in the economy of many developing countries, but unfortunately they are facing serious challenges from the public and governments due to the associated environmental pollution. There is a public outcry against the industry due to the discharge of potentially toxic wastewater having alkaline pH, dark brown colour, unpleasant odour, high biological and chem...

High rate anaerobic treatment for industrial wastewater was first applied on a commercial scale in the sugar industry in the mid 70's. Since that time the technology has developed into a standard method of wastewater treatment for a wide variety of industries. The technology is now functional in over 65 countries and a total of approximately 1,400 plants were build by the 16 leading vendors of ...

stormwater represents one of the least researched forms of wastewater in environmental science. contaminated industrial stormwater, that is stormwater generated by runoff from industrial sites such as refineries, smelters and mine sites, is even less well understood. however, contaminated industrial stormwater can have damaging environmental impacts because it generally occurs in sudden bursts ...

A survey of wastewater treatment facilities in the Federated States of Micronesia revealed a lack of fully functional treatment systems and conditions that potentially could lead to adverse environmental impacts and public health concerns. Due to inadequate facilities, the amount and composition of wastewater entering the plants as well as the degree of treatment being achieved is largely unkno...

Many contaminants of interest in water and wastewater are particles, or are made into particles for removal. Typical municipal wastewater treatment plants include both primary and secondary sedimentation, and those with tertiary treatment likely have granular media filtration. Typical drinking water plants using surface water supplies have flocculation, gravity separation (sedimentation or flot...
