Improving BOD removal at SNJ wastewater treatment plant by biological treatment
Abstract
SNJ uses chemical precipitation method to treat domestic wastewater. With regard to organic removal requirement; chemical treatment alone does not seem to be sufficient at SNJ/IVAR wastewater plant. This thesis is to assess the performance of the aerobic biological treatment on the wastewater of the plant in order to upgrade the existing plant to include biological treatment. The work was to conduct a laboratory scale SBR test for determination of the wastewater characteristics and the effect of temperature on the biological treatment. In addition to theoretical and experimental studies, the data was applied with a mathematical model of activated sludge used in modeling and design of biological treatment.
