Tertiary Treatment Processes for Modern Wastewater Treatment Plants

Introduction 

Tertiary treatment processes have been used for many years to reduce levels of suspended solids and associated BOD in effluents from wastewater treatment plants. More recently tertiary stages have been applied to removal of other pollutants, particularly nutrients. This course will review the design and operation of the main available technologies and their commercial applications. Implications for other parts of the process flowsheet will be discussed. Techniques for suspended solids discussed will include natural systems, micro-screening and sand filtration. Nitrification and denitrification tertiary processes will be discussed. Finally, novel applications for tertiary processes will be described.

Programme

Introduction to tertiary treatment
• Brief history
• Reasons for tertiary treatment

Suspended solids separation processes
• Natural treatment systems

• Sand filtration systems-rapid gravity
• Sand filtration continuous backwash

Flowsheet considerations
• Flow splitting and part flow treatment.
• Disinfection processes
• Energy use, return liquors, flow variations

Processes for tertiary nitrification/denitrification
• Biological aerated filters and submerged aerated filters.
• Anoxic filters
