Application of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in adsorption process has been studied for the advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. Because of entering poisonous compounds such as furfural, phenol and sulfides into the oily wastewater of Tehran refinery, biological aeration basins of wastewater treatment unit may not have the desired performance of COD reduction. In this st...

In this report, experimental investigation of waste water treatment by reverse osmosis to enable its reuse in cooling tower is presented. A polyamide spiral wound RO membrane followed by three filters as RO pretreatment (two activated carbon and one cartridge filter) and samples of Tehran refinery treated waste water have been used. The effect of operating conditions such as pressure difference...

In this study the Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system in oil refinery was investigated for the treatment of refinery wastewater. In order to investigate sytem a labratory scale rig was built. The aim is to remove some of the wastewater pollutant materials and data modeling of COD test.The effect of several parameters on flotation efficiency namely, saturator pressure, and coagulant dose, on CO...

The fisheries sector is one of the most ancient and important sectors in world plays a significant role providing nutrition socio-economic development country. fish processing industry produces huge quantities wastewater, encompassing amounts contaminants form soluble, colloidal, particulate matters. disposal shellfish waste serious issue, effluents discharged from seafood-processing plants con...

nowadays, with population growth in urban areas, providing safe water and health is considered basic needs of human, alongside the various pollutants due to urban activities, agriculture and industrial areas on adjacent ranges into urban water resources around the environment is such that study necessary to prevent the pollution of water resources and identification of pollution sources shows. ...

Background Leachate is one of the most problems present in landfills, mainly due to large production and the ability to cause serious environmental damages next to these areas. An activated sludge process is commonly used for biodegrading organic contaminants in wastewater using a mixed population of microorganisms. This technology is consolidated for wastewater treatment, and recently has been...
