Solids Removal

At the outlet of the Vermicelli catchment—a peri-urban area located in the campus of University of Calabria (Cosenza, Southern Italy)—a sedimentation tank is located, aiming at collecting the basin surface runoff and improve its quality. First, experimental results of the treatment effects are here presented and analyzed. In addition, a monitoring campaign was conducted in order to characterize the particles transported by surface runoff and to determine the treatment efficiency of the tank. The analysis showed the presence of a pollutant load in the surface runoff of the Vermicelli basin and provided information on its particle-size distribution (PSD). Results were considered in terms of the treatment efficiency of the sedimentation tank, showing a good overall removal efficiency value, together with a high variability of the removal sedimentation efficiency. This variability is mainly due to the different grain size of the suspended solids and the characteristics of the rainfall event.

Solids Removal

This study was conducted to show the influence of upward velocity in the inner column and downward velocity in the outer column of the coaxial cylinder-type flotation column on the solids removal efficiency, solids concentration in the treated water, and so on. The SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equation) solution was applied to the coaxial flotation column to simulate the velocity vectors of the elements of water flowing in the column. The effects of solids loading and residence time in the agglomerate separation zone on the solids removal efficiency were also tested. In the pilot scale coaxial DAF column experiments with solids concentration of 1,000–2,000 mg of SS per liter and solids loading less than 350 kg/m2/day, approximately 90% of the solids removal efficiencies were obtained using the upward velocity of up to 110 cm/min in the contact zone of the inner column and the downward velocity of up to 30 cm/min in the outer column. In the simulation, similar results were observed as in the experiments. The solids loading in the excess of 350 kg/m2/day caused the instability of the sludge float layer and aggravated the quality of the treated water.

Air polluted with methanol vapours was treated in a biofilter and a biotrickling filter, both packed with inert materials. The effects of the nitrogen concentration present in the nutrient solution, the empty bed residence time, and the methanol inlet load, on the biofilter and biotrickling filter performance were all examined and compared. The elimination capacity, the biomass and the carbon dioxide production rates all increased with the increase of the parameters tested. The maximum elimination capacity for the biotrickling filter was 240 g·m–3·h–1 with corresponding removal efficiency of 75% and carbon dioxide production rate of 10 g·m–3·h–1, whereas the maximum elimination capacity for the biofilter was 80 g·m–3·h–1 with corresponding removal efficiency of 35% and carbon dioxide production rate of 70 g·m–3·h–1. The biomass production rate was similar for both the biofilter and the biotrickling filter. The carbon dioxide production rate was higher by a factor of 2 to 9 for the biofilter compared to the biotrickling filter.

The use of conventional flocculants such as Aluminum sulphate (Alum) alone to treat the wastewater may be insufficient to get the required turbidity, suspended solids removal as well as it requires relatively a long residence time. Magnetic flocculation is one of the used techniques for increase the efficiency of the turbidity removal. In the present study, three sets of experiments are carried out in order to investigate the possibility of increasing the suspended solid removal efficiency from Al Doura oil refinery wastewater using iron oxide (Fe3O4), Nickel (Ni), and Cobalt (Co) ferromagnetic powders with alum. The following operating conditions namely, pH, alum dose, ferromagnetic powder dose, and initial turbidity are studied. The results revealed that an improvement in turbidity removal efficiency is satisfied, as well as, a reasonable reduction in the sedimentation period is achieved. The highest turbidity removal is 99.88% that obtained for 122NTU sample for alum dose 120 mg/L+ Nickel dose of 80mg/L and pH of 6.5.

The final step in apple juice clarification is normally carried out by pressure filtration. Since most pressure filters operate in a discontinuous manner, a reduction of suspended solids in the unclar ified juice would be expected to improve filter performance. Hydrocyclones could be used prior to filtration in order to increase removal efficiency or could be employed as an alternative to high cost centrifugation, when only a partial clarification was required. The suspended solids removal capability of a conventional hydrocyclone was explored. A small diameter unit (25.4 mm) following Rietema's proportions, at two pressure drops (300 and 500 kPa), two concentrations (5 and 8% by volume), and two different conditions (with and without anti-foaming agent), was used in this work. Results indicate that hydrocyclones may be an attractive option for separation of suspended solids from apple juice. At high pressure drop, combined with anti-foaming addition, suspended solids reductions of approximately 40% were obtained. In addition, a derived dimensionless scale- up relationship showed good agreement with values reported in the literature.

Solids Removal

In this study the hybrid filtration process (combining fibre filter with deep bed dual media filtration) was investigated as pre-treatment to stormwater. This process was investigated in-terms of reduction in turbidity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), colour, headloss development across the filters, suspended solids removal, organic matter removal, nutrients and heavy matter (such as iron, copper, lead, zinc) removal efficiency. A comparison was made between the hybrid filter with single media (sand) deep bed filter and fibre filter. It was found that the hybrid filtration system successfully removed turbidity (98%), colour (99%), suspended solids (99%), and DOC (55%). The removal efficiency of heavy metal was relatively low as the concentration of heavy metals present in stormwater was low. The removal efficiency of nitrate, nitrite and phosphorous (as orthophosphate) was 27, 35 and 72% respectively. Hybrid filtration processes showed a better reduction of Modified Fouling Index (MFI) value (from 15.500 s/l2 to 9 s/l2) compared with single media sand, anthracite and fibre filter which were 35 s/l2, 13 s/l2and 14 s/l2 respectively when operated at FeCl3 dose of 15 mg/l.

Solids Removal

The treatment of wastewater with activated sludge process has been received with a great attention for decades. However, the effective application of this field is not as widely spread. In this study, the treatment of wastewater was investigated, and samples were collected and ascertained. The process operation was monitored and major observation and findings were noted. Consistent pH of 7.4 was almost maintained. High nutrients removal efficiency was sustained with low concentration of nitrates and phosphates in effluent wastewater. Suspended solids removal was satisfactory, although undesired spike of 19 mg/l and three undesired values beyond >15mg/l were measured. The micronutrient metals such as Al and Zn were found to be high with highest concentration of 113600 mg/kg and 940 mg/kg. The maximum concentration of 300 mg/kg and 332 mg/kg of Mn and Cr respectively were recorded.
