Treatment of Pretreated Landfill Leachate by Membrane Bioreactor ProcessIJAEMSJORNAL
Landfill leachate is a liquid that is mainly produced by the rain which falls on the solid waste. The leachate usually contains high concentrations of ammonium, organic matter, toxic compounds and heavy metals, which makes it unsuitable for discharge in natural bodies without any prior treatment. The formation of leachate threatens the groundwater, soil and environment. Land filling is the one of the least expensive method for disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). In this study, landfill leachate is treated by coagulation and Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) process by using ultrafiltration (UF). The original sample has BOD/COD ratio as 0.603. Coagulation was used as a pretreatment prior to the biological treatment. . It was done by using alum as an coagulant at an optimum dosage of 160 mg/L. Coagulation has proven effective as a pretreatment. But the effluent quality did not meet the general standards for discharge of environmental pollutants. So the effluent after coagulation process was treated by MBR process. In this study, after MBR treatment all the parameters except BOD have met the relevant Indian Standards for discharge as irrigation water.
Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) technology, normally referred to as UASB reactor, is a form of anaerobic digester that is used in the treatment of wastewater.
The UASB reactor is a methanogenic (methane-producing) digester that evolved from the anaerobic clarigester. A similar but variant technology to UASB is the expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) digester. A diagramatic comparison of different anaerobic digesters can be found here.
UASB uses an anaerobic process whilst forming a blanket of granular sludge which suspends in the tank. Wastewater flows upwards through the blanket and is processed (degraded) by the anaerobic microorganisms. The upward flow combined with the settling action of gravity suspends the blanket with the aid of flocculants. The blanket begins to reach maturity at around 3 months. Small sludge granules begin to form whose surface area is covered in aggregations of bacteria. In the absence of any support matrix, the flow conditions creates a selective environment in which only those microorganisms, capable of attaching to each other, survive and proliferate. Eventually the aggregates form into dense compact biofilms referred to as "granules".A picture of anaerobic sludge granules can be found here.
Biogas with a high concentration of methane is produced as a by-product, and this may be captured and used as an energy source, to generate electricity for export and to cover its own running power. The technology needs constant monitoring when put into use to ensure that the sludge blanket is maintained, and not washed out (thereby losing the effect). The heat produced as a by-product of electricity generation can be reused to heat the digestion tanks.
The blanketing of the sludge enables a dual solid and hydraulic (liquid) retention time in the digesters. Solids requiring a high degree of digestion can remain in the reactors for periods up to 90 days. Sugars dissolved in the liquid waste stream can be converted into gas quickly in the liquid phase which can exit the system in less than a day.

Performance of Fluidized Bed Biofilm Reactor for Nitrate RemovalIJRES Journal
Nitrate is present in the majority of water resources, and has reached serious level in many parts of the world, which is responsible for environmental problems. Hence it is necessary to remove nitrate. Biological denitrification provides the most economical means for nitrate removal. This paper represents the performance of Fluidized Bed Biofilm Reactor (FBBR) using bone china fine granules as biofilm carrier media for biological denitrification.
In this experimental work, the maximum average nitrogen removal efficiency of 93.71% at HRT of 30 minutes and optimum efficiency of 88.13% at HRT of 10 minutes is observed. For nitrogen loading rates varying from 0.48 to 28.80 kg N m-3 d-1, denitrification rates observed are 0.44 kg N m-3 d-1 to 17.26 kg N m-3 d-1. Optimum nitrogen loading rate and denitrification rate observed are 10.08 kg N m-3 d-1 and 8.88 kg N m-3 d-1 respectively. The results justify the usefulness of FBBR for denitrification.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Municipal Corporations-Overview
1. The Municipal WW treatment technology adopted in India can be
broadly classified as:
1. ASP (Conventional & Extended Aeration, SBR) – 60%
2. UASB/UASB-Polishing Ponds – 15%
3. Aerated Lagoons & Stabilization Ponds – 20%
4. Trickling Filters/SAF/Fluidized Aerobic Bed – 10%
5. Micro STPs & MBR – 5%
1. However the preferred technology is ASP type largely due to the lesser
capital cost & simpler operation. MBR technology has major limitation
owing to its high capital cost and recurring membrane cost every 3-4
years which can be 25-40% of the total project cost.

5. BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF WASTE
WATER TREATMENT
Biological TP: a method of contact between
microbes and substrate. Suitable
temperature, pH, nutrients etc. are required
for microbial growth. Such a growth results
into the ‘removal’ of substrate.
10. Disinfection of water using
Chlorine, U.V., or Ozone or
combinations thereof-
directions for future
11. CHLORINE DISINFECTION
ADVANTAGES
• They have broad-spectrum
germicidal potency.
• They show a good degree
of persistence in water
distribution systems.
• Their easily measurable
residual properties can be
monitored in water
networks after treatment
and/or delivery to users
• This method is economic
and cost-effective
DISADVANTAGES
• The chlorine residual, even
at low concentrations, is
toxic to aquatic life and
may require dechlorination
• All forms of chlorine are
highly corrosive and toxic.
Thus, storage, shipping,
and handling pose a risk
• Chlorine oxidizes certain
types of organic matter,
creating more hazardous
compounds DPBs
14. UV DISINFECTION
ADVANTAGES
• Effective at inactivating
most viruses, spores, cysts
• It is a physical process
rather chemical hence
eliminates the need to
handle, transport, or store
toxic/ corrosive chemicals.
• No residual that can be
harmful to humans or
aquatic life.
• shorter contact time
compared to other
disinfectants
DISADVANTAGES
• Low dosage may not
effectively inactivate some
viruses, spores, and cysts.
• Re-vegetation of microbes
in case of partial exposure
• Preventive maintenance
important to control
fouling of tubes.
• Turbidity and TSS in the
wastewater can render UV
disinfection ineffective
15. Ozonation: +/-
• Advantages:
– rapid reaction rate,
• dissolved ozone half-life only 0-15 sec (Bullock et al.,
1997);
– few harmful reaction by-products in freshwater;
– oxygen is produced as a reaction end-product.
• Disadvantages:
– ozone is dangerous to humans and fish.
18. Nitrate toxicity
• WHO Standards (45 mg/l)
• Methaemoglobinaemia
• GIT cancers
• Methaemoglobinaemia – A problem of all age
groups
• Cytochrome b5 reductase adaptation
• Recurrent Stomatitis
• Recurrent Diarrhea in children
• Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infection in children
• (Gupta et al., 1999a; 1999b; 2000a; 2000b;
2001; 2007; 2008)
New dimensions
20. Nitrification:
• biological conversion of ammonium/ammonia to
nitrate
• two-step process
• Step1: Nitrosomonas convert ammonia and
ammonium to nitrite
NH4
+ + 1.5O2
Nitrosomonas NO2
- + 2H+ + H2O
• Step2: Nitrobacter convert nitrite to nitrate
NO2
- + .5O2
Nitrobacter NO3
-
21. Nitrification and Biological Oxidation:
• Classified on the basis of degree of separation
of carbon oxidation & Nitrification-
1. Combined System
2. Separate System
22.
23.
24. Selection of System:
• When BOD5/TKN >5 combined carbon & oxidation
process used.
• when BOD5/TKN <3 separate system is used.
Where,
BOD5 = Biological oxygen demand
TKN = Total Kejeldahl Nitrogen
25. Denitrification:
• biological reduction of nitrate (NO3
-) to nitrogen gas
(N2)
• The process is performed under anoxic conditions,
when the dissolved oxygen concentration is less than
0.5 mg/L, ideally less than 0.2 mg/L
• When bacteria utilize nitrate as terminal electron
acceptor, the nitrate is reduced to N2 in a series of
steps:
• NO3 → NO2 → NO → N2O → N2
27. Advances in Biological N- removal…
• Two important points to note about TP
• i) The specific nitrifying activity of TP is 10 – 103
times lower than that of autotrophs much higher
compared to those of other heterotrophic
nitrifiers (103 - 104 times lower) (Robertson and
Kuenen,1988).
• Growth of TP as heterotroph is much higher than
that of the autotrophs (the μmax for
Nitrosomonas europea 0.03 - 0.05 h-1, that of TP
approx 0.4 h-1) (Robertson & Kuenen,1988)
• The aerobic denitrification rates were much
higher than het nitrification rates of TP- extra
capacity to take nitrate or nitrite coming from
other routes (Gupta 1997)
28. Advances in Biological N- removal-
Thiosphaera pantotropha…
• Advantages of a single sludge system containing T.
pantotropha over conventional process
• i) No prior carbon removal step required before
nitrification.
• ii) No external carbon source needed for
denitrification.
• iii) Lesser buffer quantity needed
• iv) No acclimation problems as faced in a single
stage oxic-anoxic system
• V) In a single stage aerobic RBC, both C and N were
brought below the EPA norms for sewage as well as
industrial waste
• (Gupta et al., 1992, 1994; Kshirsagar et al., 1995; Gupta, 1997; Gupta & Gupta
1999, 2001; Gupta et al. 1994)
29. AnAmmOx (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation)
• oxidation of ammonium to dinitrogen gas (N2) with
nitrite as the electron acceptor (Mulder et al., 1995)
• Discovered at the Kluyver Laboratory, Delft University
of Technology, Netherlands in 1995
• autotrophic bacteria (Planctomycetes, Candidatus
Brocadia anammoxidans)
• No need for the multi-step process of aerobic
nitrification and heterotrophic denitrification.
• overall catabolic reaction is:
NH4
+ + NO2
− → N2 + 2H2O
30. AnAmmOx (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) advantages...
• Being an autotrophic process, there is no requirement for a
carbon source and the biomass yield is also low (Strous et al.,
1998).
• HRT of the order of 6 h, and a nitrogen
loading rate of 0.31 mg N/(L d) could
result in getting rid of two priority
pollutants simultaneously
(Ali Akbar et al., 2013)
• Ideal for fertilizer industry waste
31.
32. Aerated Lagoons
• Lagoons are deep waste stabilization ponds -like
bodies of water or basins designed to receive, hold,
and treat wastewater for a predetermined period of
time by artificial means of aeration.
• They are better suited for warm, sunny climates,
where they are less likely to freeze.
• HRT = 3 TO 60 days.
35. Trickling Filter
Biofilm or bacterial film or biomass is
grown or developed on solid medium.
Such as rocks, stone pieces, synthetic
medium etc. This media is randomly
packed in reactor. Wastewater is
applied on the top through a rotating
arm and it trickles down of the bottom.
In its travel to the bottom of TF,
wastewater is brought into the centre of
biofilm attached to the medium. The
process may be depicted as shown
below.

41. Centralized vs. Decentralized Treatment Systems
• Current “conventional” practice:
– Design of larger treatment systems (>3500 m3/day)
• Capture of economies of scale
• However, small communities have different
characteristics and needs
– Bringing wastewater from many small sources to one single
location for treatment may not always be the best option.
42. Decentralized Treatment Systems
WHERE to consider (according to USEPA)?
• Where the operation and management of existing onsite systems must be
improved
• Where the community or facility is remote from existing sewers
• Where localized water reuse opportunities are available
• Where fresh water for domestic supply is in short supply
• Where existing wastewater treatment plant capacity is limited and
financing is not easily available for expansion
• Where, for environmental reasons, the quantity of effluent discharged to
the environment must be limited
• Where the expansion of the existing wastewater conveyance from
treatment facilities would involve unnecessary disruption to the community
• Where specific wastewater constituents are of environmental concern.

65. The case study of Jaipur
• Two scenarios considered
– First, centralized treatment at STP Delawas and
supply treated sewage through a pipeline to the
major green belts- data derived mainly from PHED
report
– Second, isolated RBCs for the desired capacities to
be constructed at individual locations with and
without automation
• Estimates made for a period of 10 years
70. Conclusion
• Each situation is different and needs to be given dual
consideration
• The selected strategy needs to be developed through
careful planning and detailing and may be public
consultation.
• More attention to properly designed lower-cost,
simpler to operate processes as well as to
decentralized technologies should be given due to
their flexibility of modular development
• Whenever feasible, a reuse component should be
included
• The future is for the advanced technologies and the
life cycle analysis of the treatment options
