Bacteria in Wastewater – Common Microorganisms in Wastewater Treatment

[ad_1] Bacteria are single-cell plants. Bacteria metabolize the organics in wastewaters with the production of new microbial cell mass. The bacteria that can metabolize the maximum amount of the different organics, predominate. While most bacteria in wastewater treatment systems utilize organics for their metabolism, there is an important group of bacteria that utilize inorganic compounds […]
Wastewater Biomass – How to Use the Autotrophic Index to Measure Water Quality

[ad_1] The microorganisms in wastewater along with other organic matter, increases the wastewater biomass. This increase is inversely related to the quality of wastewater. In this article I discuss, in detail, a formula that is used to determine wastewater quality. Autotrophic Index (AI) In Wastewater To estimate the quality of the wastewater factors like the […]

Land Based Methods Of Wastewater Treatment – A Brief Overview

[ad_1] Land based methods of wastewater treatment have been used for many years. There are several types of treatment methods used. In this article I provide a brief overview of the different types of these land based treatment methods and how they work. The different types of land based methods of wastewater treatment can be […]
Sludge Dewatering Processes for Different Wastewater Treatment Applications

[ad_1] Sludge dewatering is the process of removing water from sludge. After wastewater treatment, the remaining material usually has a high water content. This final step in the treatment process reclaims much of the liquid. The sludge handling and disposal process is a major cost for wastewater facilities. Improvements to older methods as well as […]
Residential Wastewater Or Grey Water Reuse

[ad_1] Any sort water usage around the house, excluding water from bathroom is termed as grey water. Water from dishwashing, shower, sink, and laundry water consist of fifty to eighty percent of residential “Waste” water. This can be reused for other purposes, especially landscape irrigation and garden around the house. It would be a waste […]
Wastewater Treatment With Biodegradable Flocculants – Power of Natto

[ad_1] Just by adding and stirring (1 agent, 1 process) ‘PG alpha 21Ca’ to polluted water, it separates supernatant water with better turbidity, BOD, and COD, and sediments in a short time. This high-molecular flocculent adsorbs strongly the exogenous incretion disturbance substance (Environmental hormone), like dioxin. By using this high-molecular flocculent, it is possible to […]
Digestion of Sludge in Wastewater Treatment – 3 Steps to Achieve It

[ad_1] This is the process of decomposing organic matter of municipal sewage sludge anaerobically under conditions of adequate operational control. During the digestion of sludge, it is broken up into three different forms: (i) digested sludge which is a stable humus like solid matter with reduced moisture content (ii) supernatant liquor which includes liquefied and […]
The Climatic Bio Refinery: Adopting Micro-Algae to Re-Mediate Wastewater
