Volume
Concentration
Load
Are used as main units in pollution
profile
Volume is used especially for
wastewater based on time or product
such as m3/h, m3/day, m3/product
Pollution Load
Based on time
Based on production
Load means mass unit of a specific
pollutant per time unit or product
characteristic.
For instance, it expresses the loaded
specific pollutant to environment.
kg SS/ton carcass
kg Cd/m 2 metal
kg BOD5/m3 beer
kg COD/ton pulp
kg TKN/kWh
Concentration
Concentration is the numerical value of
mass per unit volume
Pollution load is amount of discharged
pollutant per unit time from industry
Question: When organized industrial estate
(leather) discharges to river 10 000 m3/day
treated wastewater including 2 mg/l Cr,
another industry discharges to same river
50 m3/day raw wastewater including 5 mg/l
Cr. Compare two industries as pollution
load. Which industry should be controlled
according to this profile?
Population equivalency of
pollution load
This is a parameter calculating population
number which is equivalent to pollution
load.
Water usage per person= 200 l/person-day,
domestic wastewater BOD5= 250 mg/l
Pollution load per person= 50 g BOD5/day
Question: Industry A discharges 100 kg
BOD5/day to a lake. Calculate the population
equivalency for this load.
Solution: 100 000 g BOD/day/ (50 g/personday
population equivalency) = 2000 person
Waste Classification
Definition: Industrial waste classification
is made in based on 8 types of waste.
These are;
Wastewater
Air emission
Solid waste
Hazardous waste
Medical or hospital waste
Radioactive waste
Noise pollution
Sludge & Slurry
Wastewater Classification
Waste in form of liquid(but water) is known as
waste water in industry and it is taken out.
Wastewater generated by processes and other units
Condensation water
Cleaning and washing tool ,equipment and building
water
Off water of steam generator , boiler condensation
water softening process and its regeneration waters
originated by supplementary processes
Domestic, social facilities, such as shower, toilet,
cafeteria and laundry
Field drainage and rain water

Hazardous Waste
Definitions:
These wastes are defined as any material that are
no longer desired and has no current or perceived
value at a given place. Among variety of waste ,
hazardous waste is a hazardous substance that has
been discarded or otherwise designated as a waste
material , or one that may become hazardous by
interaction with other substances.
Generally, hazardous waste is defined as any waste
which has hazard potential and hazardous effects to
human health and environment. They required
different management system from other
conventional and traditional waste.
Hazardous Waste

Hazardous Waste
(continued)
From this definitional beginning, Congress
directed EPA in RCRA Section 3001 to follow a
two-step process leading to the identification of
hazardous wastes. First, EPA was directed to
establish criteria to be used to identify the
characteristics of hazardous waste and to
actually list hazardous wastes. Factors that EPA
had to consider in establishing the criteria
included:
toxicity, persistence, and degradability in
nature;
potential for accumulation in tissue, AND
other related factors such as flammability,
corrosiveness, and other hazardous
characteristics.
Hazardous Waste
(continued)
Their effects in two ways;
- short-term effects (acute)
- long-term effects (chronic)
These are considered in four
criteria;
- toxicity
- corrosiveness
- flammability
- reactivity

Definition of Hazardous
Waste
Wastes which have environmental acute or
chronic hazard potential can be flammable,
reactive, corrosive and toxic with their
compositions, including material amount,
physical forms, dispersion and diffusion in
environment, usage styles going to
environment by human activities, therefore;
differing from conventional treatment and
disposal methods and requiring
management systems that includes
environmental systems (ecosystem) politic,
social and economic concepts and
identifying by specification and listing.

Air Emissions
Assessment of the air pollutants in two
ways;
Emissions (in chimney)
Emissions (in process area, open and
closed)
Emission sources in industries;
Incineration of the fuels to provide the
energy for processes, offices and closed
area. These emissions are evaluated in
chimney according to thermodynamic
conditions, boilers specifications and
capacity.

Conceptual design of
wastewater treatment
system
The scope of this chapter is to make
interpretations for the treatability test
results and to build the optimum
treatment system variations by building
relationships between the parameters
that are acquired from the waste water
characterization which will be the basis
for conceptual design in treatment of
industrial waste water and pollution
profile with the basic performance of
the treatment system units .
Conceptual design of
wastewater treatment
system (continued)
In the frame of this goal:
The concept of
total management application
industries is taken as basis,
Wastewater pollutant parameters are examined,
approach in
TOTAL MANAGMENT
APPLICATION IN INDUSTRIES
Reasons for implemented a waste monitoring
program include:
1. To assure the regulatory agencies that the industry is
in compliance with the effluent quality requirements
in the discharge permit;
2. To ensure cognizance of product and material losses
to the sewer;
3. To maintain sufficient control of plant operations so
that violation of permit specifications are minimized;
and
4. To develop the necessary data needed to ensure
proper operation of the wastewater treatment
facilities

SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
The basis for any plant pollution abatement program
or anticipated design criteria depends on
information obtained by sampling.
Thus, all subsequent decisions may be based on
incorrect information if this step is not accurate;
implemented.
If a few basic principles are observed, and if those
persons responsible for sampling are forewarned,
reliable results can be obtained without expensive
and costly re sampling.
Biochemical Oxygen
Demand
The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is
an estimate of the amount of oxygen
required to stabilize biodegradable organic
materials in a sample of wastewater by
heterogeneous microbial population.

Many
organic
compounds,
which
are
dichromate
oxidizable, are not biochemically oxidizable.
Certain inorganic substances, such as sulfides, sulfites,
thiosulfates, nitrites, and ferrous iron are oxidized by
dichromate, creating an inorganic COD, which is
misleading when estimating the organic content of a
wastewater.
The BOD results may be affected by lack of seed
acclimation, giving erroneously low readings. The COD
results are independent of this variable.
Certain organic compounds (e.g. straight chain, saturated
aliphatic acids and alcohols) are not efficiently oxidized by
Cr2072-. A silver sulfate catalyst is added to ensure efficient
oxidation of these compounds.

Neutralization
Many wastewaters contain acidic or
alkaline substances which must be
neutralized prior to being discharged
into receiving bodies of water or
conveyed to subsequent unit
treatment processes.
Neutralization, or adjustment of pH,
may be used in the later case not only
to protect downstream processes, but
also to optimize their effectiveness.
Coagulation and
Precipitation
Coagulation has been defined as the
addition of a chemical to a colloidal
dispersion which results in particle
destabilization by the reduction in forces
which tend to keep particles apart.
Coagulation involves the reduction of
surface charges and the formation of
complex hydrous oxides.
The process involves forming either
flocculant suspensions of compounds which
entrap desired pollutants and carry them
out of solution or the formation of insoluble
precipitates of the pollutants themselves.
Coagulation and
Precipitation (continued)
Examples of former include organic
suspended materials and examples
of the latter include precipitates of
phosphorus and heavy metals.
After coagulation to destabilize the
particles and flocculation to generate
large particles, the materials can
subsequently be separated from the
wastewater by sedimentation,
flotation, or filtration.
Activated Sludge
The AS process is a continuous system in
which aerobic biological growths are mixed
with wastewaters then separated in a
gravity clarifier.
This process should provide an effluent with
a soluble BOD5 of 15 to 40 mg/l, although the
organic concentration of the effluent in
terms of COD in the industrial sector may be
as high as 500 to 1000 mg/l, depending on
the concentration of non-biodegradable
compounds originally in the wastewaters.
Activated Sludge
(continued)
There are many impurities in industrial
wastewaters that must be removed or
altered by preliminary operations
(pretreatment) before subsequent AS
treatment can be considered.
High concentrations of SS discharged
directly to secondary biological processes
can decrease overall process efficiency,
either by reducing the active biological
solids fraction or by creating a sludge less
amenable to sludge handling.
Removing oil by gravity separation is
required in many industrial plants because
oily waters have a deleterious effect on most
secondary and tertiary treatment process.
Anaerobic Treatment of
Organic Wastes
Traditionally, anaerobic degradation of organic
materials has been associated with digestion of
wastewater sludges which resulted from
primary sedimentation of degradable organic
solids or were generated during biological
oxidation of soluble and colloidal organic
materials.
Anaerobic processes are also very effective for
treating soluble and colloidal organic materials
and to biologically reduce nitrogen in the form
of nitrate to harmless nitrogen gas.
Since the anaerobic system can obtain 50 to 70
percent organic destruction at a relatively low
energy input, it may also be utilized very
effectively for pre-treating soluble organic
wastewaters prior to aerobic systems.
Ion Exchange
Ion exchange is a process in which
ions, held by electrostatic forces to
functional groups on the surface of a
solid, are exchanged for ions of a
similar charge in solution.
Ion exchange is more often applied
for the removal or exchange of
dissolved inorganic salts in waters or
wastewaters, such as hardness
(calcium and magnesium) or heavy
metals.
Chemical Oxidation
The vocabulary of some regulatory
authorities is rapidly evolving to include such
terms as resistant, refractory,
incompatible, and perdurable to
describe those constituents which are not
removed by conventional wastewater
treatment methods.
The objective of chemical oxidation in water
and wastewater treatment is to transform
undesirable chemical constituents to a more
oxidized state which reduces the pollution
potential.
Chemical Oxidation
(continued)
It is often unnecessary to carry the oxidation
of a compound to completion since,
depending on the oxidant and oxidizing
conditions, the intermediate oxidation
products which may be formed will be of
much lower toxicity or less objectionable
characteristic than the original materials.
Complete oxidation may not only be
impractible from a treatment standpoint, but
also represents a non-justified economical
outlay.
Chemical Oxidation
(continued)
Subsequently, chemical oxidation might
be considered as a selective
modification or elimination of
objectionable or toxic substances,
including :
Inorganic constituents, such as Mn(II),
Fe(II), S2-, CN-, SO32- and
Organic compounds, such as phenols,
amines, humic acids, other taste, odor,
or color producing or toxic compounds,
bacteria and algae
CONCLUSION
In the frame of the approach that is discussed above:
First of all, process survey must be done for the industrial wastewaters
in order to learn about the inputs and outputs in the industry.
A waste survey should be prepared according to process survey and
then pollution profile must be done without any mistake.
Only with a perfect characterization of a wastewater can an efficient
design be done.
Relationships between the parameters should be evaluated, especially
the collective parameters must be considered as the most important
ones
For all the industrial wastewaters, treat ability tests must be done.
However with a good characterization and perfect unit performance
knowledge it is possible to have conceptual design in a very short
period of time and in a safe way.
All the units that will be used as the base of the design of the treatment
system should be well defined.
The effects of the treatment units on the other units in the system
should be well evaluated.

if you dont satisfy by your solutions
and answers, imagine that your brain
is the best ecosystem and you have to
balance some ethical pollution in it.
each quantity has a quality of its own
which was never reached before and
which shall never be reached again.
CONCLUSION (continued)
Your destiny can behold for a good
future, if you have a scientific
thinking in your brain and clarity in
your heart.
taking an exam is nothing, thinking
and its quality is everything. All
achievements have quality of their
own.
