Performance improvement of textile wastewater treatment plant design by STOAT model simulation

Abstract

Background: To control pollution, wastewater treatment from textile plays an important role in treating wastewater to meet quality standards before it is discharged into the environment. Without properly treated wastewater from the textile industry, it contains organic and inorganic pollutants that cause environmental problems such as water pollution, loss of marine life, and soil and air pollution. The aim of this study was to design and simulate a textile sewage treatment plant. Methods: This study was conducted by simulating the process and operation of a wastewater treatment plant using STOAT software. In addition, STOAT’s graphical and static data analysis models are efficient in removing multi-component pollutants from the textile industry. Results: Some pollutant parameters prior to the design model are suspended solids (SS) (260 mg/L), DS (3600 mg/L), ammonia (65 mg/L), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (430 mg/L), nitrate (35 mg/L), and dissolved Oxygen (DO) (12 mg/L). The wastewater of the simulation result of the sewage treatment plant model contained SS (3.3 mg/L), ammonia (25 mg/L), BOD (4 mg/L), nitrate (61.3 mg/L), and the removal percentage of total suspended solids (TSS), BOD, and Ammonia was 99.75, 99.1, 61.33 mg/L, respectively. Through the treatment process, Ammonia was oxidized and nitrification was processed rather than denitrification. Conclusion: Using the stoat modeling software, wastewater treatment plant design is very effective in removing contaminants from textile wastewater by selecting specific parameters.

“…The existence of wastewater generated from the textile industry is an environmental problem that needs great attention. The wastewater from various textile industries has a high content of organic matter, pH value, dyes, detergents, Heavy metals, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical auxiliaries that could potentially have a negative impact on humans and the environment (Azanaw et al, 2022;Akuma et al, 2022). According to estimates, the use of azo dyes is reaching 60-70% of all of the dyes utilized in the textile sector.…”

“…Water quality has considerably declined, and access to clean drinking water has emerged as one of the biggest issues, particularly in developing nations [ 2 ]. In Ethiopia, Serious attention was not given in controlling the point and non-point sources of contaminants due to lack of potentially strong castigation and failure of empowering the society with lesson [ 3 ]. In Ethiopia water body always contaminated by PO 4 −3 due to phosphate fertilizer highly consumsion in agricultural [ 4 ].…”
