Simmons 2 Wastewater Impacts to Natural Receiving Waters

Simmons 3 Wastewater Impacts to Natural Receiving Waters Treated wastewater is often discharged to nearby natural waters Biological oxygen demand (BOD) Chemicals (nitrogen, phosphorus) Synthetic Chemicals Antibiotics Microbial Pathogens Metals

Simmons 4 Water Use Cycle Water Source Water Treatment Plant Water Distribution System Water Use Wastewater Collection Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge to Receiving Water

Simmons 5 Pathogen Concentrations in Raw Sewage Influenced by many factors: –Types and prevalence of enteric infections in the population –Geographic, seasonal, and climate factors –Water use patterns Pathogen concentrations in raw sewage –Enteric Viruses and Protozoan Cysts: ~ 10 4 /L –Enteric Bacteria: ~10 5 /Liter

Simmons 6 Conventional Sewage Treatment

Simmons 7 Microbial Reductions in Wastewater Treatment Treatment processes are designed for reduction of solids and organics Targets are total suspended solids and BOD, not pathogens Pathogens are removed by processes that reduce organic matter Typical overall pathogen reductions ~90‑99%.

Simmons 8 Primary Treatment or Primary Sedimentation Settle solids for 2‑3 hours in a static, unmixed tank or basin. ~75-90% of particles and 50-75% of organics settle out as “primary sludge” enteric microbe levels in primary sludge are ~10X higher than in raw sewage Little removal of enteric microbes: typically ~50%

Simmons 9

Simmons 10 Trickling Filter and Aeration Basin for Wastewater Treatment

Simmons 11 Secondary or Biological Treatment aerobic biological treatment –activated sludge or trickling filtration Settle out the biological solids produced (secondary sludge) –~90-99% enteric microbe/pathogen reductions from the liquid phase –enteric microbe retention by the biologically active solids Biodegradation of enteric microbes –proteolytic enzymes and other degradative enzymes/chemical –Predation by treatment microbes/plankton (amoeba, ciliates, rotifers, etc.)

Simmons 12

Simmons 13 Waste Solids (Sludge) Treatment Treatment of the settled solids from 1 o and 2 o sewage treatment Biological “digestion” to biologically stabilize the sludge solids –Anaerobic digestion (anaerobic biodegradation) –Aerobic digestion (aerobic biodegradation) –Mesophilic digestion: ambient temp. to ~40 o C; 3-6 weeks –Thermophilic digestion: o C; 2-3 weeks Produce digested (biologically stabilized) sludge solids for further treatment and/or disposal Waste liquids from sludge treatment are recycled through the sewage treatment plant Waste gases from sludge treatment are released or burned if from anaerobic digestion: methane, hydrogen, etc.

Simmons 14 Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP) Class A Sludge Class A sludge: –<1 virus per 4 grams dried sludge solids –<1 viable helminth ovum per 4 grams dried sludge solids –<3 Salmonella per 4 grams of dried sludge solids –<1,000 fecal coliforms per gram dry sludge solids Class A sludge or “biosolids” can be disposed by a variety of options –marketed and distributed as soil conditioner for use on non-edible plants)

Simmons 15 Processes for producing Class A sludge thermal (high temperature) processes (incl. thermophilic digestion); hold sludge at 50 o C or more for specified times lime (alkaline) stabilization; raise pH 12 for 2 or more hours composting: additional aerobic treatment at elevated temperature

Simmons 17 Facultative Oxidation (Waste Stabilization) Pond

Simmons 19 On-site Septic Tank-Soil Absorption System

Simmons 20 Modular Wastewater Treatment Systems electrochemical metals removal process, pH adjustment, coagulation, clarification, multi-media filtration, air stripping, activated carbon adsorption, final pH adjustment, sludge dewatering

Simmons 21 Wastewater Reuse Wastewater is sometimes reused for beneficial, non- potable purposes in arid and other water-short regions Often use advanced or additional treatment processes, sometimes referred to as “reclamation” Biological treatment in “polishing” ponds and constructed wetlands Physical-chemical treatment processes as used for drinking water: –Coagulation-flocculation and sedimentation –Filtration: granular medium filters; membrane filters –Granular Activated Carbon –Disinfection

Simmons 22 Disinfection Disinfection is any process to destroy or prevent the growth of microbes Many disinfection processes are intended to inactivate microbes by physical, chemical or biological processes Inactivation is achieved by altering or destroying essential structures or functions within the microbe Inactivation processes include denaturation of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids

Simmons 23 When Wastewater Disinfection is Recommended or Required Discharge to surface waters: –near water supply intakes –used for primary contact recreation –used for shellfish harvesting –used for irrigation of crops and greenspace –other direct and indirect reuse and reclamation purposes Discharge to groundwaters: –used as a water supply source –used for irrigation of crops and greenspace –other direct and indirect reuse and reclamation purposes

Simmons 24 Disinfection of Wastewater Intended to reduce microbes in 1 o or 2 o treated effluent – Typically chlorination –Alternatives: UV radiation, ozone, and chlorine dioxide Good enteric bacterial reductions: typically, % –Meet fecal coliform limits for effluent discharge Less effective for viruses and parasites: typically, 90% reduction Toxicity of chlorine and its by‑products to aquatic life now limits wastewater chlorination –Dechlorination –Alternative less toxic chemical disinfectants –Alternative treatment processes to reduce enteric microbes –granular medium filtration or membrane filtration

Simmons 25 Estimated Pathogen Reductions by Sewage Treatment Processes: An Example % reductionCumulative reduction Organisms/L None Primary settling o biological treatment Granular med. filtration Disinfection

Simmons 26 Calculating Microbial Reductions by Treatment Processes: Log 10 vs. Percent Microbial reductions are computed to normalize the raw data on treatment efficacy of different systems or at different sites Reductions provide a uniform way to compare different treatment processes or systems Examples:

Simmons 27 Disinfection Kinetics Disinfection is a kinetic process increased inactivation with increased exposure or contact time Chick's Law: disinfection is a first‑order reaction. (N t /N o = e -kT ) Assumptions of Chick’s Law –all organisms are identical –death (inactivation) results from a first-order or “single-hit” or exponential reaction Seldom true in practice

Simmons 28 Disinfection Activity and the CT Concept Disinfection activity can be expressed as the product of disinfection concentration (C) and contact time (T) Assumes first order kinetics (Chick’s Law) disinfectant concentration and contact time have the same “weight” or contribution in disinfection activity and in contributing to CT Example: If CT = 100 mg/l-minutes, then –If C = 10 mg/l, T must = 10 min. for CT = 100 mg/l-min. –If C = 1 mg/l, then T must = 100 min. for CT = 100 mg/l- min. –If C = 50 mg/l, then T must = 2 min. for CT = 100 mg/l- min.

Simmons 29 Disinfection Activity and the CT Concept So, any combination of C and T giving a product of 100 is acceptable because C and T are interchangeable The CT concept fails if disinfection kinetics do not follow Chick’s Law (are not first-order or exponential)

Simmons 30 Common Disinfectants in Water and Wastewater Treatment Free Chlorine Monochloramine Ozone Chlorine Dioxide UV Light Low pressure mercury lamp (monochromatic) Medium pressure mercury lamp (polychromatic) Pulsed broadband radiation

Simmons 31 DISINFECTION AND MICROBIAL INACTIVATION KINETICS Contact Time Multihit First Order Retardant Log Survivors N t /N 0 Retardant Kinetics: 1.persistent fraction; 2.mixed populations; 3.different susceptibilities of microbes to inactivation; 4.aggregation Declining rate or “Shoulder” Curve Kinetics: 1. decline in disinfectant concentration over time; 2.multi-hit kinetics; 3.aggregation

Simmons 32 Properties of an Ideal Disinfectant Broad spectrum: active against all microbes Fast acting: produces rapid inactivation Effective in the presence of organic matter, suspended solids and other matrix or sample constituents Nontoxic; soluble; non-flammable; non-explosive Compatible with various materials/surfaces Stable or persistent for the intended exposure period Provides a residual (sometimes this is undesirable) Easy to generate and apply Economical
