With that in mind, measures and faecal microbial loads. OWTS contribute to waterbodies such as awareness raising, site planning, and maintenance failing to meet Water Framework Directive (WFD) objectives are likely to contribute to reduction of impact of OWTS on and as such, measures to improve the quality of OWTS the environment. The level of load reduction possible from discharges are required. Literature has been reviewed for measures such as awareness raising is difficult to quantify, a range of measures designed to reduce phosphorus and but it is low-cost and relatively easy to implement. Those most pathogen concentrations in effluent from OWTS. A feasibility effective for phosphorus and pathogen removal are post-tank assessment focussed on their application, effectiveness, measures that maximise physical removal, through adsorption efficiency, cost and ease of adaptation. A wide range of and filtering, and maintain good conditions for biological measures have been identified that could potentially improve breakdown of solids and predation of pathogens.

  • INVESTIGATION of ANAEROBIC PROCESSES in SEPTIC TANK AS a WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPTION Odenigbo C
    International Journal of Civil Engineering, Construction and Estate Management Vol.6, No.1, pp.22-25, May 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) INVESTIGATION OF ANAEROBIC PROCESSES IN SEPTIC TANK AS A WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPTION Odenigbo C. Department of Civil Engineering, Enugu State University of Science and Technology ABSTRACT: This study aims to find out the anaerobic processes in septic tank as a wastewater treatment plant. Samples were collected from both a septic tank and soakaway pit. Thus, after the collection of samples from the location, waste water analysis was conducted on the two water samples A and B respectively. The results obtained on the water samples showed that sample A under physical analysis using thermometer, pH meter, conductivity meter etc, has a higher physical characteristics value according to table 4.1, than that of sample B. more also from the chemical analysis seen in table 4.1 sample A has a higher BOD, COD and DO values more than that of sample B. Therefore this suggests that biological treatment processes was efficient in that septic tank and as such waste water discharged to the environment, will be harmless to the inhabitants in that environment. KEYWORDS: Anaerobic, Septic Tank, Sewage, Treatment. INTRODUCTION Human waste or more technically referred to as Excrets, which is made up of a solid matter, faeces and liquid matter, urine and is essentially an organic compound. The constituents making up the compound are carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and hydrogen. Also present are fats, carbohydrates, enzymes, proteins, trace elements, pathogens and many different bacteria.

  • Oxygenation and Oxygen Therapy
    Rules on Oxygen Therapy: Physiology: 1. PO2, SaO2, CaO2 are all related but different. 2. PaO2 is a sensitive and non-specific indicator of the lungs’ ability to exchange gases with the atmosphere. 3. FIO2 is the same at all altitudes 4. Normal PaO2 decreases with age 5. The body does not store oxygen Therapy & Diagnosis: 1. Supplemental O2 is an FIO2 > 21% and is a drug. 2. A reduced PaO2 is a non-specific finding. 3. A normal PaO2 and alveolar-arterial PO2 difference (A-a gradient) do NOT rule out pulmonary embolism. 4. High FIO2 doesn’t affect COPD hypoxic drive 5. A given liter flow rate of nasal O2 does not equal any specific FIO2. 6. Face masks cannot deliver 100% oxygen unless there is a tight seal. 7. No need to humidify if flow of 4 LPM or less Indications for Oxygen Therapy: 1. Hypoxemia 2. Increased work of breathing 3. Increased myocardial work 4. Pulmonary hypertension Delivery Devices: 1. Nasal Cannula a. 1 – 6 LPM b. FIO2 0.24 – 0.44 (approx 4% per liter flow) c. FIO2 decreases as Ve increases 2. Simple Mask a. 5 – 8 LPM b. FIO2 0.35 – 0.55 (approx 4% per liter flow) c. Minimum flow 5 LPM to flush CO2 from mask 3. Venturi Mask a. Variable LPM b. FIO2 0.24 – 0.50 c. Flow and corresponding FIO2 varies by manufacturer 4. Partial Rebreather a. 6 – 10 LPM b.
