Sewage Treatment & Recycling
Objectives:*Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use**Describe how limited resources and non-renewable resources can be recycledStarter: What is sewage?
![Page 2: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Sewage Treatment
Sewage is human waste. With a growth in population, it is important that sewage is processed carefully to avoid pollution and disease.
![Page 3: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Where does it all go!
Where does the water from the washer go?
When you flush the toilet where does the contents go?
By gravity flow, the waste is on its way to your local wastewater treatment plant!
![Page 4: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why treat wastewater?
• Causes a demand for dissolved oxygen (lower DO levels of streams)
• Adds nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) to cause excessive growth
• Increases suspended solids or sediments in streams (turbidity increase)
![Page 5: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Levels of TreatmentPrimary– removal by physical separation of grit and large objects
(material like paper, twigs to landfill for disposal) by using filters and the grit and organic solids are allowed to settle in large tanks
Secondary– aerobic microbiological process (sludge)
organic matter + O2 CO2 + NH3 + H2ONH3 NO3
-
- lowers suspended solids content (into sludge)aquatic nutrient
Mostly dead microbes

Activated sludge process Aeration and rapid mixing
with aerobic bacteria, fungi and protoctists which respire aerobically breaking carb, fat
and protein to CO2. H2S
changes to SO4 ions and urea to NH3 and then NO3 ions.

Secondary process 2
Or Trickle filterBeds of gravel covered with microbes get sprayed by liquid from primary treatment from large rotating arms. As the liquid trickle through the gravel the microbes break down the organic matter

Levels of Treatment continuedTertiary (advanced)_ Settle out to form more sludge_ anaerobic microbiological process with a different microbe where bacteria
anareobically break organic matter to methane. It is used as fuel to operate machines in sewage plant.
– NO3- N2 (escapes to atmosphere)
– PO4-3 if not removed in sludge in secondary process
PO4-3 + Al+3 AlPO4 (s) (into sludge dumped in sea bed
or on land as soil conditioner)
- aeration to strip N2 and re-oxygenate (add dissolved oxygen)- Water leaving the plant will be treated with Cl or O3 to kill microbes and is
safe to use.

When the treatment is done…• Effluent back to stream after– a final carbon filtration and– chlorination/dechlorination
• Sludge – very nutrient rich– applied directly to land as fertilizer– incinerated (good fuel after drying)– composted (Compro® from WSSC)
Note – Leafgro® is composted leaves and grass from MES

A NEED TO RECYCLE, REDUCE , AND REUSE
![Page 13: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A NEED TO RECYCLE• WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO RECYCLE?
• WHY SHOULD WE REUSE ITEMS?
• WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REDUCE?
• WHY SHOULD WE RECYCLE?
• HOW CAN WE HELP?
![Page 14: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO RECYCLE?
RECYCLING MEANS TO USE MATERIALS AGAIN TO MAKE SOMETHING NEW!
![Page 15: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WHY SHOULD WE REUSE ITEMS?
• PRODUCTS THAT STAY USEFUL REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR NEW PRODUCTS
• REUSING ITEMS ALSO EXTEND THE PRODUCTS NEED TO BE RECYCLED OR THROWED AWAY
![Page 16: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REDUCE?
• REDUCTION MEANS TO MAKE SOMETHING SMALLER
• USE SOMETHING LESS OFTEN
![Page 17: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Where does it go?
• Much of our garbage ends up in landfills.
• Sometimes the garbage is taken to an • Incinerator where it is burned.
![Page 18: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
HOW CAN WE HELP?
• We can help by learning more about and Practicing the three “R”s of management: Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

By recycling you are helping the environment in the long term.
![Page 22: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Every time you buy something it has to be replaced on the shelf. Factories produce more and more to meet our needs.
![Page 23: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We add to pollution indirectly by increasing the demand for manufactured goods.

Shops encourage us to buy more goods than we really need.
They want to make as much profit as they can.
We like to try new things too. We are consumers.
![Page 25: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Factories which produce more and more manufactured goods pollute the atmosphere directly with gas and airborne particles.
![Page 26: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Non bio-degradable packaging also pollutes the environment. Packaging is expensive. Why pay more for expensively packaged goods, when the package is then just thrown away? Such packaging ends up in a landfill site and takes many, many years to biodegrade.
![Page 27: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We also add to air pollution directly by using our cars when it is not always necessary to do so.
Walking is healthier Cycling keeps you fit too!

while global warming affects the environment and weather patterns.
The earth’s atmosphere is overheating due to the hole in the ozone layer
Acid rain is damaging buildings,
crop sand vegetation.

What can we do to help?
![Page 31: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Of course!
R E C Y C L E
To make the most out of what we produce we must…
![Page 32: Sewage Treatment & Recycling Objectives: *Describe how sewage system can make water safe to return to the environment or fit for human use **Describe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e015503460f94aea91c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
These materials can be easily separated for recycling at home.

Use paper bags and cardboard boxes for carrying your shopping. They can be recycled, and they are also biodegradable.
Most plastic carrier bags are not eco friendly because they are made from polythene which can take many years to rot. Very few are biodegradable. Others can be returned to the shop and replaced when worn out.

Our bins are overflowing with more and more rubbish. How many bags does
your family produce every week?

Recycle ink cartridges by returning them to a factory for reuse
Or find out about local hospices and charities which will accept these for recycling, as they are very valuable.
