Wastewater Management Why ?

Why are we concerned about wastewater? Public Health Protection Waterborne diseases Environmental Protection Our lands and waters Aesthetics Smells, odors, flies, etc.

Public Health is #1 Issue In developing countries, 60% of children do not reach 6 years old. Due to improper wastewater management, and thus Contaminated drinking water

Wastewater Contains…

Conventional Municipal Wastewater High population density areas miles and miles of sewer pipes collect and transport wastewater and all its components to a “central” treatment plant Treatment consists of settling of solids, and biological treatment $$$

Treatment plants consist of: Screens (to remove large solids) Clarifiers (or sedimentation basins) Biological Treatment Trickling Filters Aerobic Treatment Systems (activated sludge) Digestors (where microbes degrade solids)

Screens

Clarifiers (for settling)

Solids removed, but… dissolved carbon material remains

Dissolved Carbon (BOD) is removed biologically microbes Carbon + O 2 >>>> CO 2 + H2O + MORE material Microbes This is what purifies the water.

Trickling Filters

Microbes are attached to solid surfaces

These treatment processes in big treatment plants correspond to onsite systems Screens ……………………Effluent Filters Clarifiers ………………… Septic Tanks Digesters ………………… Septic Tanks Bio. Treatment (TF) …….. Soil Disposal

Septic Tanks and Effluent Filters (Clarifier/Digester/Screens)

In-Ground Disposal (bio-treatment) like a trickling filter …creates a biomat

Biomat Is made up of microbes feeding on wastes and solids in the disposal trench Will quickly clog a “tight” soil Can be minimized if solids are kept in tank and wastes are removed (treated) prior to disposal Thus, the reason for alternative treatment systems

More Food  More Microbes Biomat = microbes growing in the bottom of the trench (trench-soil interface) Organic loading important (food) –1 gallon of ww per ft 2 –5 gallons of ww per ft 2 Sidewall of Trench??? Wide or Narrow trenches??

Alternative (or Advanced) Systems Typically more complex, and engineered Used to alleviate problems…. –High water table –Poor soils –Public Health Risk Usually a biological treatment mechanism used to……. a. biodegrade the organic wastes in wastewaer b. protect public health c. protect the environment …when soils cannot provide treatment or disposal

Treatment Alternatives (performance-based) Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs) –Suspended Growth Processes Attached Growth (Packed Bed) Systems –Peat –Sand Filters –Constructed Wetlands –Foam –Etc.

Disposal Alternatives Mounds Pressure dosing Drip disposal Etc.

Treatment System Facts Treatment removes fecal coliform by 96%+ Reduces Public Health risk Treatment systems replace soil treatment A necessity in poor or non-existent soils Treatment can enhance infiltration by up to 7x No biomat formation, enhances clay soil disposal
