This paper dealt with a detection of electric Arc signal by using Matched Filter in wastewater treatment plant of SWG(Smart Water Grid). We proposed one of solutions to prevent fires due to arc signals happened frequently in SWG linked wastewater treatment plant. As an arc signal detection solution in wastewater treatment plant of SWG, we proposed MF(matched filter) based arc signal detection a...

The objective of the study was to investigate the impact on the quality of life of people living close to a municipal wastewater treatment plant. A case control study, including 235 inhabitants living within a 500 m radius by a municipal wastewater treatment plant (cases) and 97 inhabitants living in a different area (controls), was conducted. A standardized questionnaire was self-completed by ...

introduction: one of the methods for disposal of sludge is its usage as fertilizer on agricultural. the purpose of this study was to analyze the possibility in the application of sludge to agricultural, according to environmental standards. methods: this descriptive-analytic study was conducted for 12 months on dried sludge wastewater treatment plant in yazd. monthly sampling and tests were per...

The COST wastewater treatment plant simulation benchmark is a useful example for evaluation of control strategies aiming at improving biological nitrogen removal. In the SMAC project, the phosphorus removal process, based on the ASM2d model, was added as an extension to the existing benchmark wastewater treatment plant. This results in an example for evaluation of control strategies for combine...

Pharmaceuticals and other micropollutants have been detected in drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and soil around the world. Even in locations where wastewater treatment is required, they can be found in drinking water wells, municipal water supplies, and agricultural soils. It is clear conventional wastewater treatment technologies are not meeting the challenge of the mounting pressu...

sludge production is an avoidable problem arising from the treatment of wastewater. the sludge remained after municipal wastewater treatment contains considerable amounts of various contaminants and if is not properly handled and disposed, it may produce extensive health hazards. on the other hand, this sludge has benefits for plants and soils. thereupon, land application of sludge has received...

The selection of optimum high strength wastewater treatment process is complicated. Be familiar with wastewater treatment methods is not enough to design a plant. In this research, five alternative wastewater treatment methods (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) + membrane bioreactor (MBR), UASB + Extended aeration (EA), Anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), anaerobic lagoon (ANL) + aerated lago...

Category 2 animal by-products that need to be sterilized with steam pressure according Regulation (EC) 1774/2002 are studied. In this work, 2 sets of experiments were performed in mesophilic conditions: (i) biomethane potential determination testing 0.5%, 2.0% and 5.0% total solids (TS), using sludge from the anaerobic digester of a wastewater treatment plant as inoculum; (ii) biodegradability ...

In the last few years, the emission of nitrous oxide from wastewater treatment plants has become a topic of increased interest, given its considerable impact on the overall climate footprint of wastewater treatment plants. Various sampling strategies to estimate nitrous oxide emission from wastewater treatment plants have been applied in different studies. The present study addresses the influe...
