Reuse

¸ Three pilot-scale constructed wetland (CW) units were built in an area near to Pasaköy Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant (PWWTP) in Istanbul in 2002. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of constructed wetland systems in the removal of organic matter from tertiary e

Water consumption in textile processes is very high and moreover a large amount of polluted effluents is generated. Many textile industries perform only a biological treatment of these effluents. In countries with water scarcity, the reuse of the secondary effluents represents an interesting solutio

Textile industries represent an important environmental problem due to their high water consumption. In many Spanish regions with water scarcity, this fact can be an argument to make wastewater reuse necessary. In this work, a biologically treated wastewater from a cotton thread factory was subjecte

Natural zeolites are good potential material for water and wastewater treatment. It is due to the advantages of low cost, ion-exchange and adsorption capability of the natural zeolites. It can also be modified and regenerated. This paper thus looks at efforts made in exploring the potential applicat

The Intermunicipal Water Company of the Veurne region (IWVA) reuses wastewater effluent for groundwater recharge of an unconfined dune aquifer since July 2002. The ‘Torreele’ reuse plant has a production capacity of 2,500,000 m3/y. Due to the sensitive environmental nature of the dune area, the qual

Constructed wetlands have been increasingly used throughout the world for secondary and especially for tertiary treatment of wastewater and stormwater. If well designed and maintained, their effluents can meet the high standards required for reclaiming the water. One can also partially reclaim nutri

This article contains an analysis of the current situation in Spain with respect to the reuse of treated effluent, outlining the different experiences obtained together with the future prospects. In matters concerning reuse, Spanish Law places particular emphasis on the planning of basic State regul

In this study wastewater management options were investigated in terms of sustainability for an industry manufacturing 300 tons of energy drinks daily. A two stage management approach covering both in-plant control and end-of-pipe treatment was adopted for the industry under examination. The charact

One of the most crucial and difficult elements of the bioprocess is its ability to separate between the biosolids and the liquid effluent phase. The objectives of this study were to evaluate practical possibilities to upgrade existing wastewater treatment facilities by operating aerobic treatment ba

This study evaluates the factors affecting pretreatment conditions for hybrid UF membrane processes for reuse of secondary effluent from the sewage treatment plant. The experimental results obtained from the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane process showed that the particles of the size range between 0.
