Experimental Works on Advanced Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

This paper develops and demonstrates the solution for advanced wastewater treatment plant design by using Experimental laboratory works. The experimental part includes the build and operation of a pilot plant for chemical clarification unit composed of rapid mix, flocculation tanks and settling column.All the experiments were performed using secondary treated effluent from Hamdan Sewage Treatment Plant, which is the central sewage treatment plant in Basrah city.The results obtained of the experimental work includes the establishment of mathematical expression that relates water turbidity to the concentration of suspended solids and mathematical expressions relating the detention time of flocculation unit to that of sedimentation unit for different values of alum dose.
