Best Practices in Wastewater Collection
Published on by Nicolas Meudal, Freelance Wastewater & Water Consultant in Non Profit
Hi,
I am looking for the best practices and technologies to avoid harmful discharge in the environment. For example:
- what to avoid: wipes...
- what could be improved in terms of environmental impact: not monitored storm overflows, clogged pumps, overflow discharge...
- what are the best practices and technologies to ensure the lowest impact on the environment?
I hope you can help me!

Hi Nicolas most important point what;s the capacity of STP you are talking about. If it's small capacity decentralized plant then using the pumps with crushing devices are the best installed in the equalization tank. I have used such pumps for the capacity of STP 750 m3/day.
But if the plant is high capacity & centralized plant then you have to use Screen & grit removal system with special care of odor generation & emission. For odor control you may use a biological product also but it should contain anaerobic bacteria to control odor because odor generation is strict anaerobic process.

Hi,
I rode about sewage grinders that cut through rags and other solids. This might prevent clogging and overflow discharge. Another technology would be the direct inline pumping because there are no odors and it can also prevent the discharge. Do you have any technologies in mind?

educate to prevent disposable nappies being flushed or dumped. Non-biodegradable disposable nappies should be banned ("Pampers" is a swear word in some communities). Also rather screen than use a macerator at inlet works to pump stations. Macerators cut up the plastics so they go through to the treatment works and ultimately back into the environment.

Educating the concerned on DO's and DON'Ts will solve 90% of the problems.
Good design and operation as per design will resolve the rest.
All should understood that each and every one is responsible in controlling the environmental pollution.
Educate to own the responsibility is the solution.

The 3R concept. Reduce, at the source; Reuse, the manufactured waste, and Recycle the recyclables. Add the fourth R, Re-invent, technologically.

Always think in geting the plastic pins sorted out in the inlet gritt as it clogs up and remember to use Alu to get the rest to setle
