Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington, D.C., is the largest advanced wastewater treatment plant in the world. [1] The facility is operated by the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water). The plant opened in 1937 as a primary treatment facility, and advanced treatment capacity was added in the 1970s and ...
Wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater. It thus converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once back in the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment. It is also possible to reuse it.
Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment. Some industrial facilities generate wastewater ...
A goal of the wastewater purification by means of AOP procedures is the reduction of the chemical contaminants [7] and the toxicity to such an extent that the cleaned wastewater may be reintroduced [8] into receiving streams or, at least, into a conventional sewage treatment.
Membrane bioreactors are combinations of membrane processes like microfiltration or ultrafiltration with a biological wastewater treatment process, the activated sludge process. These technologies are now widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. [ 1] The two basic membrane bioreactor configurations are the submerged ...
Sanitary engineering, also known as public health engineering or wastewater engineering, is the application of engineering methods to improve sanitation of human communities, primarily by providing the removal and disposal of human waste, and in addition to the supply of safe potable water. Traditionally a branch of civil engineering and now a ...
This page consists of a list of wastewater treatment technologies : Activated sludge model. Activated sludge systems. Adsorption/Bio-oxidation process. Advanced oxidation process. Aerated lagoon. Aerobic granular reactor. Aerobic granular sludge technology. Aerobic granulation.
Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket ( UASB) technology, normally referred to as UASB reactor, is a form of anaerobic digester that is used for wastewater treatment . The UASB reactor is a methanogenic (methane-producing) digester that evolved from the anaerobic clarigester. A similar but variant technology to UASB is the expanded granular sludge ...
