  • Troubleshooting Activated Sludge Processes Introduction
    Troubleshooting Activated Sludge Processes Introduction Excess Foam High Effluent Suspended Solids High Effluent Soluble BOD or Ammonia Low effluent pH Introduction Review of the literature shows that the activated sludge process has experienced operational problems since its inception. Although they did not experience settling problems with their activated sludge, Ardern and Lockett (Ardern and Lockett, 1914a) did note increased turbidity and reduced nitrification with reduced temperatures. By the early 1920s continuous-flow systems were having to deal with the scourge of activated sludge, bulking (Ardem and Lockett, 1914b, Martin 1927) and effluent suspended solids problems. Martin (1927) also describes effluent quality problems due to toxic and/or high-organic- strength industrial wastes. Oxygen demanding materials would bleedthrough the process. More recently, Jenkins, Richard and Daigger (1993) discussed severe foaming problems in activated sludge systems. Experience shows that controlling the activated sludge process is still difficult for many plants in the United States. However, improved process control can be obtained by systematically looking at the problems and their potential causes. Once the cause is defined, control actions can be initiated to eliminate the problem. Problems associated with the activated sludge process can usually be related to four conditions (Schuyler, 1995). Any of these can occur by themselves or with any of the other conditions. The first is foam. So much foam can accumulate that it becomes a safety problem by spilling out onto walkways. It becomes a regulatory problem as it spills from clarifier surfaces into the effluent. The second, high effluent suspended solids, can be caused by many things. It is the most common problem found in activated sludge systems.

    CHEMICAL INDUSTRY WASTEWATER TREATMENT Fayza A. Nasr\ Hala S. Doma\ Hisham S Abdel-Halim", Saber A. El-Shafai* * Water Pollution Research department, National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt "Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt Abstract Treatment of chemical industrial wastewater from building and construction chemicals factory and plastic shoes manufacturing factory was investigated. The two factories discharge their wastewater into the public sewerage network. The results showed the wastewater discharged from the building and construction chemicals factory was highly contaminated with organic compounds. The average values of COD and BOD were 2912 and 150 mg02/l. Phenol concentration up to 0.3 mg/l was detected. Chemical treatment using lime aided with ferric chloride proved to be effective and produced an effluent characteristics in compliance with Egyptian permissible limits. With respect to the other factory, industrial wastewater was mixed with domestic wastewater in order to lower the organic load. The COD, BOD values after mixing reached 5239 and 2615 mg02/l. The average concentration of phenol was 0.5 mg/l. Biological treatment using activated sludge or rotating biological contactor (RBC) proved to be an effective treatment system in terms of producing an effluent characteristic within the permissible limits set by the law. Therefore, the characteristics of chemical industrial wastewater determine which treatment system to utilize. Based on laboratory results TESCE, Vol. 30, No.2 <@> December 2004 engineering design of each treatment system was developed and cost estimate prepared. Key words: chemical industry, wastewater, treatment, chemical, biological Introduction The chemical industry is of importance in terms of its impact on the environment.

Outline • Purpose • Background • Reverse Osmosis (RO) Fundamentals • Post-Treatment Processes • Pertinent Aquatic Chemistry • Case Studies • Conclusions and Recommendations • Questions Purpose • Review RO and carbonate chemistry fundamentals • Review data from full scale projects to determine change in carbon dioxide and pH from feed to permeate stream Background • The Reverse Osmosis (RO) process uses a semipermeable membrane to separate an influent stream into two streams, a purified permeate stream and a concentrated reject stream • Many references indicate that dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) may pass through the membrane with no rejection • The combination of low alkalinity and high carbon dioxide results in an aggressive permeate stream with a lower pH than the influent stream Reverse Osmosis Membranes The most common RO membrane material today is aromatic polyamide, typically in the form of thin-film composites. They consist of a thin film of membrane, bonded to layers of other porous materials that are tightly wound to support and strengthen the membrane. Flow Recovery • Percent recovery is a key design parameter • Defined as permeate flow / influent flow • Recovery is limited by solubility products, Ksp • Typical value for groundwater is ~75%-85%, but varies with application • Example: Influent stream = 100 gpm, 75% recovery.

  • Understanding Your Watershed- What Is
    Understanding Your Watershed pH NR/WQ/2005-19 Nancy Mesner and John Geiger June 2005 (pr) What is pH? pH is a measurement of how acidic or how basic (alkaline) a solution is. When substances dissolve in water they produce charged molecules called ions. Acidic water contains extra hydrogen ions (H+) and basic water contains extra hydroxyl (OH-) ions. pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. Water that is neutral has a pH of 7. Acidic water has pH values less than 7, with 0 being the most acidic. Likewise, basic water has values greater than 7, with 14 being the most basic. A change of 1 unit on a pH scale represents a 10 fold change in the pH, so that water with pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than water with a pH of 7, and water with a pH of 5 is 100 times more acidic than water with a pH of 7. You might expect rainwater to be neutral, but it is actually somewhat acidic. As rain drops fall through the atmosphere, they dissolve gaseous carbon dioxide, creating a weak acid. Pure rainfall has a pH of about 5.6. The figure below shows the pH of some common solutions. The pH of lakes and rivers in Utah typically falls between 6.5 and 9.0. Why is the pH of water important? Effects on animals and plants Most aquatic animals and plants have adapted to life in water with a specific pH and may suffer from even a slight change.

INTRODUCTION Many industrial wastes contain acidic or alkaline materials that require neutralization prior to discharge to receiving waters or prior to chemical or biological treatment. (Eckenfelder, 2000) Neutralization is the process of adjusting the pH of water through the addition of an acid or a base, depending on the target pH and process requirements. Most part of the effluents can be neutralized at a pH of 6 to 9 prior to discharge. In chemical industrial treatment, neutralization of excess alkalinity or acidity is often required.

  • Ion Exchange Chromatography
    TECH TIP #62 Ion exchange chromatography TR0062.0 Ion exchange chromatography is a process for separating proteins and other molecules in a solution based on differences in net charge. Negatively charged molecules bind to positively charged solid supports and positively charged molecules bind to negatively charged supports. To ensure that a protein has a particular net charge, dissolve it in a buffer that is either above or below its isoelectric point (pI). For example, a protein with a pI of 5 will have a net negative charge if it is in a buffer at pH 7. In this case, the protein could bind to a positively charged solid support like diethylaminoethanol (DEAE) or Pierce® Strong Anion Exchange Columns (see the Related Products Section). Conversely, a protein with a pI of 7 will have a positive charge in a buffer at pH 5 and can bind to a negatively charged solid support such as the Pierce Strong Cation Exchange Columns. Whether using a cation or anion column, sodium chloride can elute the bound protein. In an anion application, the counter ion is chloride because the chloride anion is exchanged for the target, which is then released. In a cation application, the counter ion is sodium because the sodium cation is exchanged for the target. The strength of the electrostatic interaction between a target and a solid support is a function of the difference in the target pI and the buffer that contains the target. Therefore, a protein with a pI of 5 will bind more tightly to the anion exchange column if the protein is in a buffer at pH 8 rather than at pH 7.
