The overall aim of this search investigated the effect of DO, alkalinity, and pH on nitrification in biological aerated filter system BAFs. The laboratory experiments by three identical pilot-scales downflow of BAFs using three different sunken materials types, 0.78±0.60 mm activated carbon-based material bed, 0.95±0.58 mm sand-based material bed, and 3.28±2.14 mm ceramic particle-based material bed, as attached growth zone in the treatment of municipal wastewater. As results of the experiments showed that activated carbon-based material bed when the mean concentration of dissolved oxygen was 6.76±2.25 mg/L and the mean alkalinity concentration was 77.25±2.60 mg CaCO3/L and the mean pH value was 7.21±0.20 the mean nitrification efficiency has reached of 90.11%. In the sand-based material bed when the mean concentration of dissolved oxygen was 7.33±1.82 mg/L and the mean alkalinity concentration was 77.56±2.77 mg CaCO3/L and the mean pH value was 7.22±0.20 the mean nitrification efficiency has reached of 87.74%. In the ceramic particle-based material bed when the mean concentration of dissolved oxygen was 6.37±1.84 mg/L and the mean alkalinity concentration was 77.31±2.71 mg CaCO3/L and the mean pH value was 7.22±0.20 the mean nitrification efficiency has reached of 85.17%.
The removal of nitrogen compounds in wastewater is receiving wide attention and the effluent standards will be tougher in the near future. The overall aim of this article is a review of biological aerated filter systems BAFs for removal of the nitrogen in wastewater. The BAFs technology is based on the principle of biofiltration where can be operated either in an upflow or downflow mode depending upon the position of the influent feed, where the media which attached growth zone can be either denser than water to give sunken media or less dense than water to produce floating media. The BAFs combines biological treatment and ammonia-nitrogen and solids removal in one reactor unit, where accumulated solids are removed from the BAFs through backwashing.
The most important determinant when recycling of wastewater for agriculture is that related to public health. This paper investigates the removal of Escherichia Coli/coliform in the waste stabilization pond as simulation as assessing of mitigating health risk. A case study in climatic conditions of Libya. As a result of a computer program based waste stabilization pond design based on parameter uncertainty and 10,000-trial Monte Carlo simulations, were developed for a series of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds to produce on a 95%-ile value <1000 E. Coli per 100 ml. While a number of influent of E. Coli bacteria was (156.732×106 E. Coli /100ml). Where it decreased was a number of the effluent (10 E. Coli /100ml). Where the efficiency of removal E. Coli bacteria was (99.999 %). And the overall hydraulic retention time it took 89.548 days in the anaerobic pond, facultative pond, first maturation pond and twelve of the subsequent maturation ponds. To satisfy practice 2006 WHO guidelines for the safe use of wastewater in agriculture.
This paper investigates the determined the required log reductions for human intestinal helminth eggs by waste stabilization ponds as simulation as assessing of mitigating health risk to satisfy practice WHO, 2006 guidelines for the safe use of wastewater in agriculture (≤ 0.1 helminth egg/L) to protect the health of children under 15 years was the development of MATLAB, a computer program based waste stabilization ponds design based on parameter uncertainty and 10,000-trial Monte Carlo simulations were developed for a series of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds based on 95%-ile of effluent (≤ 0.1 helminth egg/L) which the result in a health-based target. Whereas the influent of the helminth eggs (Nematode) was (932.500 eggs/L). While the treatment provided (100 % reduction/removal) for the overall treatment process with total hydraulic retention time in climatic conditions of Libya it took 36.207 days in the anaerobic pond, facultative pond, first maturation pond and one of the subsequent maturation pond.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
