The article presents test results on the changes occurring in sewage sludge during the process of its storage. Tests were conducted on mechanically dehydrated sewage sludge derived from large municipal sewage treatment plants equipped with biological sewage treatment systems. In testing presented in the paper the focus was on the basic fuel properties of sewage sludge: moisture content, heat of...

The study aims to compare three sewage biological treatment methods- activated sludge, moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), and fixed reactor. sludge method is the most used in ship treatment. However, carrier methods, such as MBBR reactors, have improved their effectiveness with industrial wastewater, being considered industrial. An experiment was carried out untreated samples, chemical oxygen d...

Natural and synthetic steroidal estrogens (estrone, 17beta-estradiol and 17alpha-ethinylestradiol) are endocrine disrupters, that are discharged consistently from the sewage treatment works into surface waters, thereby causing endocrine disrupting effects to aquatic organisms at trace concentrations (nanogram per litre). Several years of research have been focused on their fate, behaviour and r...

results the results of this study showed that the release of soluble chemical oxygen demand (scod) in the supernatant and srf were in the range of 127.9-831 mg/l and 12.48-36.55 m/kg at 10 to 120 min ultrasonic contact time, respectively. in addition, ts and vs decreased from 57.98 and 56.31 to 52.69 and 49.87 mg/l, respectively. despite the significant reduction in the solids, there was no con...

The sewage treatment plant was monitored to determine the efficiency of technologies employed to reduce microbiological threats. Every four weeks, for a year, sewage was sampled to investigate the effects of post-mechanical and post-biological treatment. Changes in Escherichia coli, D-group streptococci and Salmonella spp. number were analyzed. The reduction of the bacteria in sewage treated me...

Sewage treatment system is a complicated nonlinear system with multi-variables, chemical reaction, biological process and altered loads, hard to describe mathematically. Thus prediction of the effluent quality parameters of sewage treatment plant has being a challenge. In this paper we adopt fusion of two BP networks to predict sewage quality parameters with a popular process Cyclic Activated S...
