Sewer Treatment Solution

Please recommend a modern sewage treatment technology capable of treating municipal sewer (mixed domestic and industrial effluent) to meet standards for discharge to the environment. The anticipated daily discharge is 1,000m3. Additionally, the technology should be scalable, have low operational costs, and not require a significant amount of space for setup.

3. Clarification + Air or Ozone Sparging + tricklng GAC filtration + discharge to infiltration pond.  This will not rid waste of trace metals or radiologicals from an industrial process. 

4. BIOPOLUS https://www.biopolus.net/ It's all there and has been for some time, The problem is the institutional dogma in the UK water industry.

5. You have choices. Depending upon your effluent quality requirements, you can consider any of a number of choices for treatment systems. The latest seems to be Membrane Bioreactors, but they come with a substantial investment and operational cost.  I would suggest A sequencing batch reactor for basic needs. They are cheap, easy to build and easy to automate.  It would be a 2 or 3-tank system, easy to operate, and produces an acceptable effluent for most treatment systems.  I would not go into membrane systems or advanced wastewater treatment unless it is required by your regulatory authority.  Whatever you decide, consider the effluent goals first then consider which technology and how much treatment will be required to meet the goals.  

   Also, have you considered what you will do with the treatment plant solids and sludge?  That's a bit of a separate issue but it can have a major impact on total system costs.

6. MBR but aeration tank followed by DAF might do too. And if effluent needs to be better you could follow with ultra filtration and UV

7. I would say that MBBR is the best choice. Easy to operate and compact.

8.  SBR is viable. 

   Assume that the industrial toned down to domestic waste characteristic.

   For space saving, may consider for multiple storey, with SBR tank half buried will allowances gravity effluent discharge. Then 1 floor sledge treatment and 2nd floor for operational office. May consider install solar panel on roof top for self consumption.

   The SBR upgradeable to hybrid if there sudden capacity increase. If capacity increase is higher in future, may use the structure to updage the plant to MBR.

9. Look up https://aquacycl.com/ 

10. If TSS is low, then do a filtration (0.2micron), then pass through UV. Low space requirements.

11. Hi Caroline

    A Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system will do the job, if you need more information about the technology please contact us via email at info@designh2o.ca, we can do the engineer of the system for you and suggest you potential suppliers.
