After full operation of secondary treatment at the East and West treatment plants, the future production of sludge from these plants and from Amriya and Agamy secondary treatment plants in addition to the rest 14 secondary treatment plants all around Alexandria is expected to exceed than 1200 m3/d by 2015 thus the capacity if the sludge disposal site should exceed. Therefore, the future sewage sludge management represents a critical environmental issue in Alexandria, this management includes sludge dewatering, handling, transportation cost to the disposal sites and the final product marketing.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal system will be limited by the increase in sludge production and the current management system, there is an immediate need to investigate ways to establish a future management system and to demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
Currently, Site 9N the sole disposal site in Alexandria include a composting plant established when the site was initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for sludge. Consequently, land spreading of the sludge on the dedicated disposal area has ceased and all of the current production of raw sludge is now being composted using the turned windrow technique.
The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiency of the sludge management system and adopt a future vision for the Alexandria sludge system and recommend modifications to protect public health and environment.

Anaerobic treatment of sewage in UASB reactors at 339MLD Amberpet STPMohammad Ahmad Hussain
The project is titled “ANAEROBIC TREATMENT OF SEWAGE IN UASB
REACTORS AT AMBERPET STP”. Asia’s biggest STP with UASB (Up flow
Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) Technology in terms of Capacity (339 MLD) 226 MLD
Sewage is tapped from outfall sewer chamber. Pretreatment unit consists of 4 mechanical
screens, 2 manual screens to prevent floating materials and conveyor belt for disposing
screened materials and 4 degritting units of 56.5 MLD capacity for removal of grit. Grit
is disposed through rake classifier mechanism. 226 MLD Sewage from these new units
and 113 MLD sewage from the existing plant will collect in wet well of pump house and
pumped to reactors by 12 pumps (12 Working + 6 Standby) of 210 HP capacity to a head
of +17.0 Mts over a length of 1.5 Km through 2 lines of M.S. 1800 mm Dia Pipe Lines.
UASB Reactor (24 No.s – 32 Mtr x 28 Mtr x 6.3 Mtr) is the place, where the
separation of Gas, Liquid and solids takes place. BOD Load is reduced by 75% in
reactors. Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) is 8.88 Hours. Suspended solids settle down to
form a blanket at the bottom, excess sludge will be taken to sludge pump house and
pumped to Belt Press where moisture is removed and it is formed into sludge cakes,
which could be used as manure (165 Cum/Day). Gases (6423 Cum/Day) formed like
Methane and Hydrogen sulphide are collected in gas holders (3 Nos), methane is fed to
pure gas engines to generate electricity (0.6 to 0.9 MW/Day), while Hydrogen Sulphide is
removed by Gas Scrubbing unit. Sewage rising in the reactors are taken to Facultative
Aerated Lagoon (FAL) for aeration. 24 Aerators of 50 HP capacity will be operated out
of 30 Aerators and resulting induction of oxygen (1.8 Kg/Kw/Hr) will reduce the BOD
Load by further 75% HRT in FAL is 24 Hours. Area of FAL – 13.50 Hectares. Sewage is
then led to Polishing Pond (Area = 9.0 Hectares) with 3 baffle walls to increase the length
of flow with a HRT of 12 Hours, where any remaining suspended solids are removed.

Fecal Sludge Management Challenge in Bidibidi Refugee SettlementCandia John
This presentation outlines the Fecal Sludge Management Challenges in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement, as seen from the perspective of Global Sanitation Concern - a local CBO in partnership with Sanwas Limited - an engineering consultancy.
The presentation highlights the existing gaps due to central sewerage system as the population relies on poorly managed on-site sanitation technologies coupled with high incidences of water and sanitation related diseases and degradation of the environment in and around the district bearing in mind that Yumbe District has inadequate capacities (technical, financial and human) to plan & provide sustainable sanitation services to host and refugee communities.
The report underlines the "way we want to solve the problem" and what needs to be done at large.
THE MARKETABILITY OF WASTEWATER REUSE IN ALEXANDRIA SANITARY DRAINAGE COMPANYHelalley Helalley
One of the main challenges that faces Alexandria city is the shortage of water resources especially in the west zone of the city. So the use of treated wastewater is one of the solutions to solve this problem as well as the financial resources problem to make the balance between the costs of operation and maintenance and the revenues. Therefore it was necessary to use innovative marketing techniques to overcome the problems of safe wastewater reuse and over come the challenges that face the application of this concept.
One of the problems is that the location of the wastewater treatment plants exists so far from the areas that will be used in. That is because of most of the wastewater treatment plants are concentrated in the east part of the city and most of the areas that the treated wastewater will be reused in the far west of the city. Taking into consideration that the slope of the surface is low in the east and high in the west and that makes difficulty in reaching the water to the west.
Another problem is marketing, such as 1) The bad reputation of the wastewater and how you can convent the client to use it, 2) The public awareness to the citizens of Alexandria city that they can use this water safely in the fields which mentioned in the Egyptian code, 3) Psychological factors that make the people don’t be convinced to use this water and in the same time they know that this water is safe to use but they prefer to don’t use it, 4) There are no motives to make people use this water, and the most important motive for the client to make him use this water is the price and we are trying to make a challenging price which to motive him to use this water.
To solve these problems, we found that for the east zone of Alexandria we must raise the quality of the treated wastewater and use it in places that have scarcity of water like Abis villages with the co-ordination with the Ministry of Irrigation. While for the west zone of Alexandria we think it is feasible to use this wastewater that is the output of the treatment plants in the west zone in irrigation of the touristic villages of the north coast with co-ordination with Ministry of irrigation.
Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company (ASDCO) has about 16 secondary wastewater treatment plants producing about 1.6 million m3 per day of treated effluent. We made the first step in this project which is selling the treated wastewater that is the output of the kilo 26 secondary treatment plant to Alex West Housing Compound for irrigating landscapes.

Application of black and grey water separation concept is one of the effective tools to sustain a good wastewater management system. The main obstacles of applying this concept in Egypt are its difficulty to be applied in already existing communities. Thus, starting to apply in the new communities and areas were in situ sanitation is applied. This will lead to minimizing the quantities of wastewater resulting from these communities and the reducing clean water consumption which will lead to reducing costs of treatment and disposal

Industrial wastewater management problems in borg el arab new [compatibility ...Helalley Helalley
Borg El-Arab is a new industrial city within Alexandria containing around 1400 factory
distributed within ten industrial zones. Two years ago, the sanitary system including the
treatment plant of Borg El-Arab was handed to Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company for
management.
From the preliminary survey it was found that all factory's effluents were not complying with
the limits of Law 93 for year 1963 and the presidential decree 44 for year 2000. They dispose
their raw wastewater directly into the sewerage system, which creates a chronic street
flooding problems all over the industrial zones. As well as affecting the quality of the old
treatment plant influent located at the east of the city and the newly instructed tertiary
treatment plant.
These factories did not construct effective industrial effluent treatment systems for their
wastes, which were supposed to be constructed before getting the permission to start the
industrial activity and production. Another problem was the lack of effective industrial
effluent monitoring, and weakness of the legal power and action against non-complying
industries. Finally, there was no technical assistance system.
Alexandria Sanitary Drainage Company carried out a Management system to solve these
problems through: 1) Industrial survey for each factory; 2) Periodical sampling and analyzing
program based on severity of the industry; 3) Take step by step action for non-complying
factories; 4) Assisting non-complying factories to apply pollution prevention concepts. This
system applies for old existing industries, for new ones an additional step is provided which is
they don't get a permission to start industrial activity and production unless they have
effective industrial wastewater treatment system which include pollution prevention concepts.
As a result, street flooding problems have decreased and number of complying industries has
increased.
Under these circumstances we would like to stress on the importance of applying On-line
Monitoring systems to assure effective control of industrial effluent quality 24/7.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

ABSTRACT
After full operation of secondary treatment at the East and West treatment
plants, the future production of sludge from these plants and from Amriya and Agamy
secondary treatment plants in addition to the rest 14 secondary treatment plants all
around Alexandria is expected to exceed than 1200 m3/d by 2015 thus the capacity of
the sludge disposal site should exceed. Therefore, the future sewage sludge
management represents a critical environmental issue in Alexandria, this management
includes sludge dewatering, handling, transportation cost to the disposal sites and the
final product marketing.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal system will be limited by the
increase in sludge production and the current management system, there is an
immediate need to investigate ways to establish a future management system and to
demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
Currently, Site 9N the sole disposal site in Alexandria include a composting
plant established when the site was initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for
sludge. Consequently, land spreading of the sludge on the dedicated disposal area has
ceased and all of the current production of raw sludge is now being composted using
the turned windrow technique.
The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiency of the sludge
management system and adopt a future vision for the Alexandria sludge system and
recommend modifications to protect public health and environment.
2. Introduction
Alexandria is the second largest main city in Egypt. It is the primary port home
for 40% of Egypt industrial base. In 1998, Alexandria population was 3.5 million and
it is estimated to reach 8 millions by year the 2030. Alexandria has attracted
considerable attention towards developing its basic structure and overcome some of
the problems facing its utilities.
In the late seventies, sanitary drainage activities covered only 40% of the total
inhabited area of the city. Even that the sewers were often worn out by time and
unable to handle the flows they receive. The problems of streak flowing have existed
due to the inability of pump stations and treatment plants to receive flows exceeding
,
their capacities. The city s wastewater treatment facilities which are expected to serve
a population of about 4 million were not operated well and the collection system was
aging and limited in coverage. These conditions lead to frequent and unavoidable
operational failures which posed a direct threat to the public health, constrain
industrial development, and impacted the daily lives of the residents of the city.
Alexandria has two large primary treatment plants (East Treatment Plant (ETP)
and West Treatment Plant (WTP). The confined capacities of 607,000 and 400,000
m3/d were respectively, sludge processing and disposal facilities (600 tons/day),
collection system of large interceptors, tunnel collectors, pump stations, and
establishing a site for disposing the generated scum, grit, and sludge. The
implementation of wastewater project in the city of Alexandria resulted in large
quantities of sludge being produced (400 tons /day) average.
Future production of sludge from East and West treatment plants, Amriya and
Agamy will become more than double the current production. As a result, sludge
disposal site capacity has to exceed approximately 700 m3/d. This production level
expected around year 2010 with only primary treatment at East and west treatment
plants.
The installation of a secondary treatment at the East and West treatment plants
will result in the capacity of sludge site being exceeded when these units start full
operation. The key features of site 9N include the composting system and the
supporting facilities and equipment. Approximately 100 % of the dewatered sludge
3. and all the grit received from the treatment plants are disposed and incorporated into
composting plant located in the site which is about 140 feddan.
As the capacity of Alexandria sludge disposal site is limited by current
operation system, there is immediate need to investigate ways to increase site capacity
and to demonstrate successful operations at higher sludge producing rates.
The present study aims to evaluate the current efficiencies of the ASDCO
sludge disposal system with emphasis on site 9N as the main disposal facility and
recommend modifications to expand its capacity and life time than planned, to protect
public health and environment.
The quality and quantities of sludge produced at a municipal treatment facility are
controlled by the composition of the incoming wastewater and the required treatment.
The sludge characteristics, in turn, affect the alternatives available for
treatment, beneficial use and disposal. Different sludge treatment processes will yield
different types and volumes of sludge which can effect the beneficial use/disposal
options available. The proposed beneficial use / ultimate disposal of the sludge solids
dictate the extent to which the sludge must be treated prior to disposal. Various
alternatives for sludge treatment and disposal are presented in Figure (1), Table (1).

5. Location and capacity (current and planned) of all WWTPs:
Alexandria has 18 wastewater treatment plants, ranging from 3,000 m3/day
to 607,000 m3/day. Total capacity is about 1.4 MCM/day, of which 1.3 MCM/day is
concentrated in 4 large treatment plants. About 1 MCM/day is currently upgraded to
secondary. 0.3 MCM is already secondary. Planned capacity increase is 0.55
MCM/day.
The East Treatment plant is currently a primary treatment plant under
upgrading to secondary activated sludge treatment and discharges to Dayer El-Matar
drain to Lake Maryout. Abis Villages 6 secondary treatment plants; The 10th Abis TP
discharges to El Amlak drain, Nasriya TP to Dayer El Matar drain, Abis 1st and 2nd
TPs to Mansheya Drain, Abis 3rd TP to Mansheya 3 drain and Abis 4th to Mansheya 4
drain.
The West Treatment plant (primary under upgrading to secondary Activated
sludge treatment) discharges directly to Lake Maryout. The Km 26 secondary
activated sludge treatment plant does not discharge its effluent but it is reused by Alex
West Tourist Compound adjacent to the treatment plant.
Iskan Moubarak secondary TP discharges to Amriya drain, while Khorshid
& Zawayda TP and El Maamoura TP are secondary treatment plants and discharge to
Amiaa Drain. El Hannovile secondary treatment plant (Ard El Hesh) discharges near
El Dekhila Harbour. El Seiouf secondary treatment plant disharges to El Qalaa Drain.
El Agamy Km 21 Treatment plant will discharge to West Noubariya drain.
And El Amriya secondary treatment plant will discharge to Noubariya canal. While el
Noubaria secondary treatment plant discharges to El-Shagaa drain.
New Borg El-Arab secondary Aerated lagoon treatment plant discharges to
its surrounding forest area which is considered reused. It is proposed to discharge the
rest unreused effluent to the West Noubaria Drain.
Sludge generation (location, quantity, quality), processing and disposal.
6. The sludge from both ETP and WTP is mechanically dewatered at the WTP.
The liquid primary sludge is pumped from the ETP to the WTP where it is co-settled
with sewage and the sludge is dewatered by the belt press to about 30% dry solids (ds).
Sludge production is currently about 450 m3/d, equivalent to about 50,000 tonnes dry
solids (tds per year). This will increase when the WWTPs are extended (currently under
development) and secondary treatment is installed (planned for 2010), reaching about
80,000 tds by 2015. Table (2) shows the current and future sludge production in
Alexandria.
The generated amount of sludge from the East Treatment plant that resulted from
clarifiers is about 3000-4000 m3/d , solid concentration 2-3%, it is diluted to 1-2% then
pumped through middle zone tunnel (12 km length, 5 m depth), to WTP, then
dewatered by mechanical dewatering facility.

The amount of sludge generated from the West treatment plant is also about
3000-4000 m3/d with solid concentration of 3-5% , then to the mechanical dewatering
facility, The produced sludge is 8704 Ton/month; Used polymer 6927 kg
polymer/month; Polymer cost 182873 L.E/month.; Dewatering efficiency 27.9%.
The generated sludge from El-Hannoville TP and Iskan Moubarak TP is
dewatered by centrifugation, with solid concentration of 25-30%, transported to 9N.
The Mex/Dekhila/Agamy WWTP is initially expected to produce 200 m3/d of
20% ds, increasing to 400 m3/d by 2025. This will be a conventional primary
sedimentation and activated sludge plant. The total quantity of sludge that will be
produced by Alexandria will be about 1,200 m3/d by 2015, equivalent to about
150,000 tds/y.
7. The produced composted sludge has an average of 34 % Organic matter, 3%
Total Nitrogen, 175 mg/kg available phosphorus. The heavy metals contents of the
compost are within the required limits of Egyptian regulations.
Sludge Treatment and Disposal system:
Site 9N is located 35 km west of Alexandria. The site receives sludge cake
from the MDF and grit, scum and screenings removed from the ETP and WTP. Grit,
sand and screenings generated from the ETP and WTP are transported to site 9N by
dump trucks. Currently, the total quantities transported of sludge are 83212 m3/year,
of sand is 7973 m3/year and of screenings is 1749 m3/year, and from Industrial solid
waste 3338.85 m3/year according to values of year 2008/2009.
At Site 9N, a composting plant is established when the site was initially
developed as a dedicated disposal area for the sludge. Consequently, land spreading of
the sludge on the dedicated disposal area has ceased and all of the current production
of raw sludge is now being composted using the turned windrow technique as shown
in Figure (2).
Figure (2) : Composting Processes of Dewatered Sludge.
Mature compost is used as a bulking agent to improve the aeration of the
composting process and is mixed on a 1:1 volume basis with the fresh dewatered raw
8. sludge, delivered daily to Site 9N. Specialized windrow turners are used for mixing
the materials and for process (temperature, moisture) control in the windrows. Some
mixing and turning is also done by mechanical shovel. A 30-day period is allowed for
the active composting phase in windrows, following which the compost is removed to
a curing and stockpile area where it is allowed to mature for several weeks, but the
compost may be stored for many months before sale and use.
Based on these assumptions, 1 m3 of dewatered sludge is converted into 0.4
m3 of matured compost. Therefore, at the current sludge production level, compost
production is likely to be about 66,000 m3/y, rising to 184,000 m3/y by 2015, and
234,000 m3/y by 2025, based on the estimated increases in sludge production
Assessment of the current Mechanical Dewatering Facility (MDF) conditions:
1- Hydrogen sulfide problems, which resulted from the septic condition of sludge at
the equalization tanks and different location of sludge dewatering operations, thus
affecting life time of the MDF components.
2- Produced quantities of dewatered sludge (30%) of the designed value.
3- Reduction in sludge dewatering production results in accumulation of the sludge in
the end effluent channel of the WTP, affecting primary treatment operation efficiency.
According to ASCDO committee (no. 931 dated 30/11/2008) recommended the
following to improve MDF performance:
1- Starting rehabilitation of current belt press components.
2- Keep the safe level of H2S concentration.
3- Repairing and operating the blowers to ensure continuous mixing of liquid sludge
in equalization tanks, homogenizing SS concentration and prevents septic
conditions.
4- operating MDF hydrogen sulfide control unit.
5- Rehabilitation of computer systems.
It is a must to increase the efficiency of mechanical dewatering operations to
guarantee dewatering all sludge from primary treatment plants.
Control of odor emissions from the current wastewater treatment plants by
taking appropriate operating measures is not implemented to mitigate any
noncompliance.
9. Assessment of Sludge/Solids Disposal Facility (9N)
Composting significantly reduces the volume of sludge. During the
composting process, there is a substantial loss of water during composting (reducing
from 70% to 10% moisture content) but the density of the product will become less
than that of the sludge because of its open texture (reducing from 1 to 0.7 m3/t). The
amount of dry solids will also be reduced through the mineralization of organic matter
(20% loss assumed). The volume of the compost will be increased by using matured
added to facilitate the composting process, but this is in effect internal relying within
Site 9N and so does not influence the net volume of compost produced for marketing.
The assessment indicated that the thermophilic composting temperatures of 55–65ºC
are evolved during composting. The temperature of the compost is stable within this
range for up to two months and is relatively insensitive to the frequency of turning.
The compost windrows do not require many turnings to maintain efficient processing,
which is desirable for moisture retention since high moisture loss is likely to limit
microbiological activity.
Sludge Handling, Treatment and Disposal
The goal of any wastewater residual solids disposal system is to dispose of
solids in a cost-effective manner that protects the public health and the environment.
Sludge disposal has historically been a major challenge in the wastewater
treatment field. Approximately half of the operation and maintenance costs for a
typical wastewater treatment operation are incurred in the sludge disposal processes.
Current means of disposal in use in the U.S. include incineration, landfilling, ocean
disposal and land spreading. All of these means have drawbacks; they are either too
costly to operate or they may create a potential threat to the public health and
environment. Therefore, an economical sludge disposal process that ensures
protection of public health and the environment must be developed.

11. Suggested scenario for Sludge management in Alexandria
This scenario aims to manage the sludge production in the near future 2015. All
Alexandria wastewater treatment plants will be in operation, so the sludge
management will depend on collection of all sludge produced from the new small
treatment plants and large treatment plants. Then, the dewatered sludge will be
transported to treatment sites by large vehicles in order to be treated and disposed.
Figure (3): Flow diagram of the sludge treatment by using windrow
composting
Figure (4) : Unloading of Sludge.
Figure (5) : Covering of dewatered sludge with composted sludge.
12. Figure (6): Turning of windrows with composting machine.
The steps of the plan could be as follows:
1- Sludge handling
a- The sludge produced from East wastewater treatment plants
The East Treatment plant is a central plant located east of Alexandria which will
produce around 720 ton/day dewatered sludge. The dewatered sludge produced from
all small treatment plants in the east of Alexandria will be collected there. The small
secondary treatment plants are:
•
Maamoura T.P. will produce around 42 ton/day of sludge.
•
Khorshid and Zawieda T.P will produce around 54 ton/day.
•
EL seiouf T.P. will produce around 8.5 ton/day of sludge.
•
The Abis treatment plants (six treatment plants) will produce around
21.5 ton/day of sludge.
b- Sludge produced from Amyria and Agami wastewater treatment plants
The sludge produced from Iskan Moubarak T.P. (will be around 25 ton/day) and will
be transported to Amyria T.P. which will produce around 144 ton/day. All sludge
produced from both treatment plants will be transported to site 9N.
c- The Km 21 treatment plant which will produce around 216 ton/day of sludge will
be the collection point of sludge produced from both Hannoville T.P. and Km 26 T.P.
•
Hannoville T.P. will produce around 60 ton/day of sludge.
•
Km 26 T.P. will produce around 12 ton/day of sludge.
d- The sludge produced from West wastewater treatment plants
The sludge produced from the West treatment plant will be around 648 ton/day which
will be transported directly to site 9N.
13. 2- Sludge treatment system
Composting area of site 9N is 140 feddans which has been used for sludge
composting as shown on Figure (7).
Figure (7) : Location of Site 9N and the proposed extension area.
Site 9N is the most suitable location for composting operation, where it is downwind
of the near houses and can easily be managed as a composting area. The composting
area contains 180 windrows of 250 length, 1.5m height and 4m width. The distance
between each two windrows is 5 m. For building a windrow, 35 – 40 trucks
containing 20 m3 of sludge cake are required (700 m3 – 800 m3), construction of one
windrow takes from 2-3 days. The spoil material storage area is utilized for
emergency use. For adopting windrow composting method to treat non stabilized
primary sludge the windrows are covered after each turning with a 5 cm layer of
matured compost to minimize the flies' attraction, especially during first week of
composting period. Also, ten centimeters matured compost is used during
construction at the bottom to prevent septic condition at the lower layer of the
windrows.
The expected total quantity of dewatered sludge produced in Alexandria will be
around 2000 ton/day. This quantity will be sent to site 9N for treatment and disposal.
Currently Site 9N has two areas for sludge composting, south and north composting
areas 30 hectares each. In addition to a storage area of about 15 hectares. The total
14. capacity of sludge treatment at site 9N is about 150,000 tons, which is equal to sludge
produced from Alexandria treatment plants during 75 days. The sludge treatment
process takes three months (two months fermentation period and one month curing
period) which indicates that the composting area at site 9N is not enough to receive
the sludge in the nearest future (2015), therefore it is important to find another new
composting site with an area of about 200 feddans. The site suggested is the extension
of site 9N to the west direction which has a large unused desert area surrounded by
agriculture fields Figure (7). The suggested new site should be designed as the
follows:
1- Composting field 120 feddan serviced with ground and surface water
protection system.
2- Storage area about 40 feddan which must be beside the composting area.
3- Site utilities about 40 feddan which include the following:
-
Administrative buildings
-
Maintenance work shop.
-
Temporary storing area for equipments.
-
Equipment washing area.
-
Roads and trees surrounding the site area. (as shown in Figures (8,9))
North Composting area
South Composting area
Figure (8): Suggested new site design.
15. Figure (9): Suggested new site after extension.
3- The sludge produced from Borg El -Arab wastewater treatment plants
The sludge produced from Borg El-Arab treatment plants -about 200 tons/day- will
need to be treated in situ, and so we need to establish two sites for sludge treatment in
Borg El-Arab city. The area of each sludge treatment site should be about 70 feddans,
60% of the proposed site should be used for sludge treatment, 20% for sludge storage
and 20% for traffic building and equipments. The suspected new site design is as the
follow as shown in Figure (10).
1- Composting field 42 feddan serviced with ground and surface water protection
system.
2- Storage area about 14 feddan which must be beside the composting area.
3- Site utilities about 14 feddan which include the following:
-
Administrative buildings
-
Maintenance work shop.
-
Temporary storing area for equipments.
-
Equipment washing area.
-
Roads and trees surrounding all site.
16. Figure (10): Suggested new sludge treatment site for Borg ElArab.
The sludge management system of Borg El Arab city will depend on the characteristic
of each dewatered sludge batches. As a result of laboratory chemical analyses, batches
characterized with high contents of hazardous industrial waste must be collected and
transferred to site 9N for sanitary landfill. The batches satisfy with the Egyptian
criteria for sludge reuse especially in terms of heavy metals will loaded into windrow
composting area.
