5 Solid Waste Management
5 Solid Waste Management GEORGE TCHOBANOGLOUS, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering University University of California at Davis Davis, California Aesthetic, land-use, health, water pollution, air pollution, and economic con- siderations make proper solid waste management an ongoing concern for municipal, corporate, and individual functions that must be taken seriously by all. Indiscriminate dumping of solid waste and failure of the collection system in a populated community for two or three weeks would soon cause many problems. Odors, flies, rats, roaches, crickets, wandering dogs and cats, and fires would dispel any remaining doubts of the importance of proper solid waste management. Solid waste management is a complex process because it involves many technologies and disciplines. These include technologies associated with the generation (including source reduction), on-site handling and storage, collec- tion, transfer and transportation, processing, and disposal of solid wastes. All of these processes have to be carried out within existing legal, social, and environmental guidelines that protect the public health and the environment and are aesthetically and economically acceptable. To be responsive to public attitudes, the disciplines that must be considered in integrated solid waste management include administrative, financial, legal, architectural, planning, environmental, and engineering functions. For a successful integrated solid waste management plan, it is necessary that all these disciplines communicate

Use of Uv Radiation As an Alternative to Chlorine Gas for Wastewater Disinfection
USE OF UV RADIATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CHLORINE GAS FOR WASTEWATER DISINFECTION. By Arif Jaffer , Jasem Al-Muaili and Mohammed Al-Moniee Jaffer is an engineering specialist in the Lab Research and Development Center. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Oklahoma State University and presented numerous papers at professional international conferences. Al-Muaili is a chemist in Lab Research and Development Center. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from King Saud University, Riyadh. Al-Moniee is a chemist in Lab Research and Development Center. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Toledo, Ohio, USA ABSTRACT The current practice of using chlorine gas for the disinfection of wastewater treatment effluents at Saudi Aramco Wastewater Treatment plants possesses several safety and environmental concerns. In an effort to eliminate these concerns, Saudi Aramco Engineering Standard has been revised to discourage the use of chlorine gas in wastewater facilities and to consider other alternatives. This pilot plant study aims to investigate whether the use of Ultra-violet radiation (UV) is an acceptable alternative to chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite disinfection systems. Sodium hypochlorite systems are safer than chlorine gas but they are less cost effective to install and operate. This paper evaluates UV disinfection process to determine whether it is a viable option for Saudi Aramco wastewater plants. It also evaluates options for controlling the scaling that is expected with high TDS local wastewater and determines the cost effectiveness of this type of disinfection method. The study also attempts to identify and solve other operating problems that are identified during the on-site pilot plant test.
