Preliminary Physical Wastewater Treatment

Preliminary treatment (Physical Treatment) gross solids such as large objects, rags, grit, sticks, floatables are removed that may damage equipment. “Manual Coarse Screen”, “Automatic Mechanical Bar Screen” and “Drum Screens” are the equipment used for preliminary treatment in the plant.

Marble Wastewater Recycling

Here is a video of City Filter Press which designed for marble wastewater treatment and recycling.



It consists of silo tank, automatic filter press, polymer dosage unit and sludge conditioning tank with mixer.

Wastewater from marble & stone cutting and polishing process into a collection tank balance tank. Then with the help of a submersible sludge pump wastewater goes into the silo tank. In the silo tank sludge precipitate through the bottom level and treated water phase into the upper level.

On the bottom level sludge comes the sludge conditioning tank with a pneumatic valve. After this polymer dosage unit dose anionic polymer and mixing a mixer occurs.

Conditioned sludge pumped into the filter press by high-pressure pumps.

Finally, dried sludge cake formed between the filter plates and supernatant water pushed the filter press machine.

The final product is dried sludge cake for the lorry or trucks.

Secondary Treatment in Domestic Wastewater

Secondary Treatment İn Domestic Wastewater
It is a treatment method based on the principle that organic pollutants in wastes are
removed from wastewater by being used as food and energy source by microorganisms. Along
with the biochemical processes, the decomposable organic substances are oxidized by giving
electrons and become the final products, CO
2
and H
2
O. As a result, some of the biodegradable
organic matter is transformed into biomass, and the other part is transformed into energy.
Biological treatment systems basically work as two different systems. These systems are
"suspended growth" and "attached growth". Microorganisms in attached growth processes are
attached to a material such as stone, gravel or plastic.

Biological treatment systems basically work as two different systems. These systems are"suspended growth" and "attached growth". Microorganisms in attached growth processes are attached to a material such as stone, gravel or plastic.

Examples are trickling filters and rotating biological contactors (RBC). Trickling filters are a system in which the wastewater is supplied in the form of drops with the help of pipes. It is more convenient to operate the system anaerobically because it is more efficient than the aerobic system.

Rotating biological contactors are systems in which plastic discs attached to a shaft are used. The surface area of the discs has been enlarged to accommodate more microorganisms.

An example of suspended growth systems is the activated sludge system. Activated sludge systems are the most common method of secondary treatment. The activated sludge system basically consists of two parts. These are the aeration tank and the settling tank. The aeration tank contains a sludge which is a microbial culture to be best defined. This sludge contain microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi and algae in dense quantities. The aeration tank is continuously ventilated with blowers and diffusers so that the oxygen concentration does not fall below 2 mg / L.

Depending on discharge standards, activated sludge systems are also suitable for nitrification, denitrification and biological phosphorus removal together with organic matter removal. Depending on the process conditions, the activated sludge reactor canbe operated under aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic conditions. In the final settling tank, the amount of biomass required is ensured by recycling to the activated sludge basin. The excess sludge formed in the system is sent to the sludge processing units.

The term “activated “sludge is used, because by the time the sludge is returned to the aeration tank, the microorganisms have been in an environment depleted of “food” for some time, and are in a “hungry”, or activated condition, eager to get busy biodegrading some more wastes. (Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies, Page 239) Since the amount of microorganisms, or biomass, increases as a result of this process, some must be removed on a regular basis for further treatment and disposal, adding to the solids produced in primary treatment.
