Abstract
The present study proposes technological solutions to address the existing limitations by modifying the treatment system to enhance its oxidation potential. The case study focuses on the Magdacesti biological treatment plant, which has encountered a new source of pollution from the “Ocean Fish” factory. Under high loading conditions during the biological treatment stage, both the activated sludge and the biological film, composed of aerobic microorganism flakes, experience changes in their culture composition and lose their sedimentation properties. To overcome these challenges, implementing an anaerobic pre-treatment process and integrating the “Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge” technology into the aerobic process are recommended for intensifying the biological treatment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Water Chemistry and Technology focuses on water and wastewater treatment, water pollution monitoring, water purification, and similar topics. The journal publishes original scientific theoretical and experimental articles in the following sections: new developments in the science of water; theoretical principles of water treatment and technology; physical chemistry of water treatment processes; analytical water chemistry; analysis of natural and waste waters; water treatment technology and demineralization of water; biological methods of water treatment; and also solicited critical reviews summarizing the latest findings. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Ukrainian language. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
