Abstract The paper presents changes in the contents of physicochemical indices of the Sudół stream water caused by a discharge of purified municipal sewage from a small mechanical-biological treatment plant with throughput of 300 m3·d−1 and a population equivalent (p.e.) – 1,250 people. The discharge of purified sewage caused a worsening of the stream water quality. Most of the studied indices values increased in water below the treatment plant. Almost a 100-fold increase in ammonium nitrogen, 17-fold increase in phosphate concentrations and 12-fold raise in BOD5 concentrations were registered. Due to high values of these indices, the water physicochemical state was below good. Statistical analysis revealed a considerable effect of the purified sewage discharge on the stream water physicochemical state. A statistically significant increase in 10 indices values (BOD5, COD-Mn, EC, TDS, Cl−, Na+, K+, PO43−, N-NH4+ and N-NO2) as well as significant decline in the degree of water saturation with oxygen were noted below the sewage treatment plant. On the other hand, no statistically significant differences between the water indices values were registered between the measurement points localised 150 and 1,000 m below the purified sewage discharge. It evidences a slow process of the stream water self-purification caused by an excessive loading with pollutants originating from the purified sewage discharge.

On the basis of the computerized technological process control of sewage treatment in a urban sewage treatment plant in the Zone of Nanning, the author had brought forward a plan of PROFIBUS that based on automatic control system for sewage treatment, and designed the automatic control system diagram and the PROFIBUS network diagram for sewage treatment plant. At the same time, the author also made a study of techniques to control the sewage aeration, which was the most difficult problem in sewage treatment process. The fuzzy controller could indicate the changes of the water quality in treated sewage, effectively controlled the volume of aeration and then cut down the operation costs,it had produced good economic and social benefits.

By aerobic composting bin type of sewage treatment plant sludge composting, through periodic sampling, research composting process temperature, moisture content, PH value changes and study the changes in compost maturity parameters of the DH. The results show that the compost temperature increased rapidly in the early rise in the first two days when fast to 50 degrees Celsius, in the tenth day decreased to room temperature; moisture content than the original sludge reduced by 40 percent to compost indicators; PH by reaction initial 6.2, and gradually becomes neutral and alkaline 7.8 biased. Experiments show that after aerobic sludge composting in temperature, moisture content, PH value terms have been reached sludge disposal requirements.

By treating the secondary effluent of Sanbaotun sewage treatment plant in Fushun with the CS type UV Sterilizer, the experiment researches the influence on the removal rate which includes the factors of turbidity, chromaticity, initial E.coli concentration of raw water, UV dose. The results show that the turbidity does not influence on UV disinfection efficiency with the turbidity from 1.5NTU to 3.8NTU. In the low-dose UV disinfection process, the influent sewage turbidity should under 4NTU to ensure the disinfection efficiency. Low chromaticity does not affect the UV disinfection efficiency, with the influent sewage chromaticity is under 15 degrees.The initial E. coli has a certain impact on little doses of UV disinfection with the concentration from 175 × 104 A/ L to 230 × 104 A/ L, no impact on high doses of UV disinfection。

Anode Supported Cell

A biogas coming from anaerobic digestion of urban sewage has been used to feed a SOFC planar anode-supported cell. The sewage is produced from the urban area of Torino (IT), and eventually collected and treated by SMAT (the municipal company managing the potable and waste water of the city). The biogas is produced by the thermophilic fermentation of the sludge which remains after the several treatments the sewage goes through in the above-mentioned plant. The biogas is of a high quality: it has on average a a methane content around 65% (the balance being essentially CO2), and the only significant impurity measured is H2S in a range of 70–80 ppm. The as-produced biogas has been used for feeding a planar Ni-YSZ anode-supported SOFC with a LSCF cathode. The biogas desulphurization was accomplished flowing the gas in a fixed-bed reactor, filled with activated. The fuel processing with POX has been assessed to avoid carbon deposition into the Ni-YSZ anode and convert the CH4 into H2 and CO. Short tests to check for eventual anode degradation were performed under typical operating conditions. The cell voltage was always stable under load with the tested mixtures. A cell electrical efficiency around 45% has been measured at 800°C and 80% FU. System simulations have performed as well to assess the whole system configuration under a biogas feeding. Optimization routines have been implemented to predict the best net AC efficiency achievable by a SOFC system running on biogas. Additional considerations on the management of poor LHV biogas mixture have been also assessed, showing how dry-reforming of CH4 with the CO2 already available in the biogas stream would be an excellent option needed to be investigated with further detail in the next future.
