Summary
To determine the optimal waste treatment systems, it is necessary to conduct a survey to ascertain waste volume and characteristics and water consumption records. Waste pollution is measured through BOD, COD, DO, TOC, SS, TSS, TDS, and FOG.
Wastewater can be salvaged through recycling and reuse and recovery of solids. The basic phases of wastewater treatment are pretreatment by flow equalization, screening, and skimming; primary treatment by sedimentation and flotation; secondary treatment by anaerobic lagoons, aerobic lagoons, trickling filters, activated sludge, oxidation ditch processes, land application, RBCs, and tertiary treatment by physical separation, tertiary lagoons, and chemical oxidations. Disinfection of treated wastewater should follow other treatment phases to reduce the reaction of organic matter with the disinfectant.
