Therefore, this study aims to optimize the treatment models using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) to achieve a techno-economical comparison of biological, adsorption, electrocoagulation (EC), and bio-adsorption processes as examples in Acid Orange 7 (AO 7) and Acid Red 18 (AR 18) removal. Membrane Sequencing Batch Reactor (MSBR), Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), and GAC-MSBR were selected as biological, adsorbent, and biological-adsorption processes, respectively. MSBR was the cheapest (0.02–0.08 US$/m³) followed by GAC (0.03–0.63 US$/m³). Although MSBR permeates may not be of desirable quality, GAC and GAC-MSBR permeate offer the best quality. In addition to high operating costs in EC (≥1 US$/m³), the electrodes should be changed after several usages, which cost approximately 550 US$/m³. In this research, GAC-MSBR, as an effective process, had 80–100% AR 18 removal efficiency (0.14–0.16 US$/m³).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212371722000245/pdfft?md5=b6145709c0c9ff0b19d5f5efd97a6e0e&pid=1-s2.0-S2212371722000245-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45202685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many oil and gas facilities in the water scarce middle eastern regions still depend on non-renewable groundwater for operating cooling towers. Successful application of reclaimed water in a dry desert climate with very high temperature requires a critical understanding of several factors, including water efficiency, biohazards, equipment reliability, and economics. In particular, biohazard assessment, due to bacteria and virus contamination in hot weather, should be assessed to understand the human risks of utilizing reclaimed water. This study investigated the applicability of municipal reclaimed water as an alternative to groundwater for an industrial cooling system at an oil and gas facility in Saudi Arabia. Treated wastewater effluent from an activated sludge biological treatment process was utilized, as make up water for a 4.2 MW cooling tower. The results of this study showed that water efficiency can be increased using municipal reclaimed water instead of groundwater by increasing the cycle of concentration. The bacterial and enteric virus study indicated that the disinfection and biocide treatment was effective in controlling biological growth and minimizing associated risks to human health. The use of reclaimed water was economically viable with 27% reduction in water consumption.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221237172200021X/pdfft?md5=809b8e91f4dd01feec2d9496ea82811d&pid=1-s2.0-S221237172200021X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45370273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we assessed the ecological conditions near the brine outfalls and at a reference site unimpacted by brine, focusing on the benthic macrofaunal composition. Overall, the analysis of the communities and species revealed a similar macrobenthic composition, although with lower abundance and diversity compared to the nearby North Sea environment. The outfall area of the Botlek demineralized water plant, which is a dead-end entirely marine waterway with no to little currents in contrast to the well flushed brackish environment of the outfall of the Maasvlakte demineralized water plant, was characterized by the lowest abundance of benthic macroinvertebrates, species richness and Shannon diversity index. Higher biodiversity values at the Maasvlakte demineralized water plant compared to the reference site were also associated with the presence of a large biogenic reef of the Pacific oyster <em>Crassostrea gigas</em> with specimens of over 8 years estimated age being observed, however with many dead individuals recorded at the time of surveys. The outfall area of the Botlek demineralized water plant also had the highest disturbance levels according to the results of AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) in conjunction with Benthos Ecosystem Quality Index (BEQI). Its community was dominated by the opportunistic native species <em>Capitella capitata</em> and <em>Varicorbula gibba</em>, and species typical for organic matter enrichment such as <em>Alitta succinea</em> (native), <em>Streblospio</em> cf <em>shrubsolii</em> (native) and <em>Theora lubrica</em> (invasive), which correlates well with higher levels of anthropogenic pollution in this area.
