Waste Stabilisation Ponds is the third volume in series Biological Wastewater Treatment. The major variants of pond systems are fully covered, namely:facultative pondsanaerobic pondsaerated lagoonsmaturation pondsThe book presents a clear and informative way main concepts, working principles, expected removal efficiencies, design criteria, examples, construction aspects, operational guidelines sludge managment for systems.This title belongs to Treatment SeriesISBN: 9781843391630 (Print)ISBN:...

Recent research has indicated the advantages of combining anaerobic and aerobic processes for treatment municipal wastewater, especially warm-climate countries. Although this configuration is seen as an economical alternative, not been investigated in sufficient detail on a worldwide basis. This work presents results monitoring pilot-scale plant comprising UASB reactor followed by activated sludge system, treating actual wastewater from large city Brazil. The was intensively monitored...

Activated Sludge and Aerobic Biofilm Reactors is the fifth volume in series Biological Wastewater Treatment. The first part of book devoted to activated sludge process, covering removal organic matter, nitrogen phosphorus.A detailed analysis biological reactor (aeration tank) final sedimentation tanks provided.The second covers aerobic biofilm reactors, especially trickling filters, rotating contractors submerged aerated biofilters.For all systems, presents a clear informative way main...

Progress toward Sustainable Development Goals for global access to safe sanitation is lagging significantly. In this Feature, we propose that misleading terminology leads errors of categorization and hinders progress service provision in urban areas. Binary classifications such as "offsite/onsite" "sewered/nonsewered" do not capture the need "transport treatment" or complexity should be discarded. "Fecal sludge management" used only development context low- middle-income countries, implying...

A sustainable option for nitrogen removal is the anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) process in which ammonium oxidized to gas with nitrite as electron acceptor. Application of this process, however, limited by availability anammox biomass. In study, two Brocadia-like phylotypes were successfully enriched, detected and identified from an activated sludge taken a domestic wastewater treatment plant (Minas Gerais, Brazil) employing Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR). The dominant phylotype was...

This article analyses the performance of 166 wastewater treatment plants operating in Brazil, comprising six different processes: septic tank + anaerobic filter, facultative pond, pond activated sludge, UASB reactors alone, followed by post-treatment. The study evaluates and compares observed effluent quality removal efficiencies terms BOD, COD, TSS, TN, TP FC with typical values reported technical literature. In view large variability observed, existence a relationship between...

This study aimed to evaluate the behaviour of two horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland units regarding solids build up and clogging filter medium. In order analyse causes this process, which is considered major operational problem wetlands, studies were carried out characterize accumulated hydraulic conductivity at specific points beds wetlands (planted with Typha latifolia unplanted units) receiving effluent from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor treating sanitary sewage...

Basic Principles of Wastewater Treatment is the second volume in series Biological Treatment, and focusses on unit operations processes associated with biological wastewater treatment. The major topics covered are:microbiology ecology treatmentreaction kinetics reactor hydraulicsconversion organic inorganic mattersedimentationaerationThe theory presented this forms basis upon which other books are built.This title belongs to SeriesISBN: 9781843391623 (Print)ISBN: 9781780402093 (eBook)
