What is Wastewater Treatment?Wastewater treatment is the process of taking
wastewater and making it suitable for discharge back into the environment. Wastewater treatment reduces the contaminants to acceptable levels so as to be safe for discharge into the environment.
12.2 WASTEWATER
Wastewater can be formed by a variety of activities, including washing, bathing, and using the toilet. Rainwater runoff is also considered wastewater. No matter where it comes from, this water is full of bacteria, chemicals, and other contaminants.

12.2.1 CONSTITUENTS1. Microorganism2. Solids - Total Solids - Inorganic Constituents - Organic Matter
Inorganic constituents of wastewater includes:1. Chlorides & Sulfates2. Nitrogen & Phosphorus3. Carbonates & Bicarbonates4. Toxic Substances

Organic Matter includes:1. Protein2. Carbohydrates
The sources of these biodegradable contaminants include excreta and urine from humans: food wastes from sinks: soil and dirt from bathing, washing, laundering: plus various soaps, detergents, and other cleaning products.

12.2.2 BOD MEASUREMENT
The amount of organic matter in water or wastewater can be measured directly (as TOC),but this doesn’t tell us whether the organics are biodegradable or not. TOC is determined by measuring the amount of CO2 produced when the produced when the organic carbon in the sample is oxidized by a strong oxidizer and comparing it with the amount in a standard of known TOC.

12.2.3 Municipal WastewaterThe excreted waste from humans
is called sanitary sewage. Wastewater form residential areas, referred to as domestic sewage, includes kitchen, bath, laundry, and floor drain wastes. These, together with the liquid wastes from commercial and industrial establishments, are termed municipal wastewater.

12.2.3 Industrial WastewaterWastewater from industries include
employees’ sanitary wastes, process wastes from manufacturing, wash waters, and relatively uncontaminated water from heating and cooling operations.
12.2.3 StormwaterThe runoff from rainfall, snowmelt,
and street washing. It is less contaminated than municipal wastewater.

12.3 POLLUTION OF RECEIVING WATERS12.3.1 Effects of Pollutants
Water pollution occurs when the discharge of wastes impairs water quality or disturbs the natural ecological balance.
The contaminants that cause problems includes:1. Pathogens2. Organic Matter3. Solids4. Nutrients 5. Toxic & Hazardous Substances6. Other Pollutants (color, foam, heat, &
radioactive materials.

12.4 WASTEWATER COLLECTION1. Early Systems2. Present Systems
Present Systems Sewage collection systems today
normally consist of separate storm and sanitary sewers in the newer areas and combined sewers in the older sections of cities.
![Page 16: Environmental engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/554983eeb4c90582588b4daa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3 Types of Sewers1. Sanitary Sewers
Sanitary sewers carry domestic sewage, liquid commercial and industrial wastes, and undesirable contributions from infiltration and storm water.
2. Storm SewersStorm sewers receive storm water runoff
from roads, roofs, lawns, & other surfaces.3. Combined Sewers
Combined sewers perform the functions of sanitary and storm sewers and are common in the older section of most municipalities because these sewers carry sanitary wastes and are connected to basement floor drains, any surcharging could cause a backup of untreated sanitary sewage into basements.

There are two types of wastewater treatment systems:1.Biological treatment plant , &2.Physical/Chemical treatment plant
![Page 18: Environmental engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/554983eeb4c90582588b4daa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Biological Treatment Plant
A biological wastewater treatment plant, such as a municipal treatment plant, uses several tanks to treat the wastewater that comes into it. First, wastewater is screened to eliminate easily removed objects. Next the wastewater is taken to a primary settling basin where matter can float or sink in the tank. The remaining water is then sent to the secondary treatment tank where biological matter, such as bacteria, removes much of the remaining suspended matter.
![Page 19: Environmental engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/554983eeb4c90582588b4daa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. Physical/Chemical Treatment Plant
this treatment starts with removing suspended solids from the wastewater. The water is pumped into large tanks where matter settles or sinks. Just like in a biological treatment plant, this process may be aided by stirrers that mix the water up causing small particles to join into bigger particles. In a physical/chemical plant, this process can also be further aided by the addition of flocculants, a chemical that forms larger particles.

Objective of Land Application SystemThe objective of the land based
treatment was to reduce waste discharged to surface waters while utilizing the nutrient content for crops and encourage the used of effluent for irrigation and ground water recharge.
