Spreadsheets for MBBR Process Design Calculations


Book Description

Background description of MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor) wastewater treatment process as an attached growth process using plastic carriers on which the biofilm grows. Flow diagrams are shown for BOD removal and for nitrification, including single stage and two stage processes. Discussion of process design calculations, including the surface area loading rate (SALR) and its use to calculate the carrier surface area needed and the MBBR tank volume needed. Example process design calculations are included for a single stage BOD removal MBBR process, a two stage BOD removal MBBR process, a two stage MBBR process for BOD removal and nitrification and for a single stage nitrification MBBR process. Each of the example calculations includes a screenshot of a spreadsheet for carrying out the MBBR process design calculation for that example.




Biological Wastewater Treatment Process Design Calculations


Book Description

Description of three biological wastewater treatment processes, activated sludge, MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor), and MBR (membrane bioreactor). Each of these processes is described and discussed in turn. For each of them there is background information about the process, a general description of the process, and description of the process design calculations for that process along with examples illustrating those calculations. Use of spreadsheets for the calculations is covered also, including numerous screenshots of spreadsheets set up to make the various calculations discussed in the book.




Sewage Treatment Plants


Book Description

Sewage Treatment Plants: Economic Evaluation of Innovative Technologies for Energy Efficiency aims to show how cost saving can be achieved in sewage treatment plants through implementation of novel, energy efficient technologies or modification of the conventional, energy demanding treatment facilities towards the concept of energy streamlining. The book brings together knowledge from Engineering, Economics, Utility Management and Practice and helps to provide a better understanding of the real economic value with methodologies and practices about innovative energy technologies and policies in sewage treatment plants.

Activated Sludge


Book Description

From the book's introduction: This is not an introductory text about activated sludge. In this book, we discuss the observation, testing, and calculation procedures that provide data about the status of the activated sludge process. In addition, we discuss in depth how to apply this data to the business of controlling your activated sludge treatment process. Basic activated sludge concepts are addressed in this book in the context of process evaluation and control. We focus our efforts on discussing a basic, practical system of control for the process. The procedures discussed in this manual are equally applicable to all variations. An operator must have information about settleability, dissolved oxygen concentration, solids concentration, effluent quality, and clarifier sludge levels for consistent, efficient process performance of every type of activated sludge process. These procedures are covered in detail. The procedures discussed are based on work done by E. B. Mallory in the 1930's and 40's and further developed by Alfred W. West while he was head of the Operational Technology Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency in the 1960's and 70's. The system, with some modifications by this author, is frequently called the "West Method" or "Sludge Quality Method" of activated sludge process control because operational controls adjustments are based on the sludge quality existing in your facility rather than on arbitrary values.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT


Book Description

This Third Edition of the book is thoroughly revised to present a detailed understanding of the principles of operation and design of domestic wastewater treatment plants. The book opens up with clearly stating the basic concepts of treatment of wastewater and the design considerations required for an efficient treatment plant. Thereafter, the design criteria for domestic wastewater treatment units are discussed which forms the basis of sizing of the treatment plant units. In essence, the text is strengthened to give detailed procedures for design computations of all units of a wastewater treatment plant with many solved numericals. Most common types of reactors used for physical operations and biological processes in wastewater treatment plants are also discussed in detail. The present edition includes a new chapter on “Biological Nutrient Removal” covering the aspects of nitrification and denitrification. This is now essentially legally required. The book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil and Environmental Engineering. It will also be useful to the practising and consulting engineers involved in the design of wastewater treatment plant and municipal corporation and pollution control authorities. KEY FEATURES • Provides several examples supported by graphs and sketches to highlight the various design concepts of wastewater treatment units. • Encapsulates significant theoretical and computational information, and useful design hints in Note and Tip boxes. • Includes well-graded practice exercises to help students develop the skills in designing treatment plants. TARGET AUDIENCE • B.E./B.Tech (Civil/Environmental Engg.) • M.E./M.Tech (Civil/Environmental Engg.) • Practising and Consulting Engineers • Pollution Control Authority
