Full-scale wastewater treatment plant systems

Hamilton Standard of the U.S. EPA has reported several coil coating plants wastewater treatment case histories.8,9 A full-scale wastewater treatment plant system has performed well for treatment of the wastewater generated from coil coating steel subcategory operations. The process principles and operational data of the full-scale treatment of a steel subcategory wastewater are summarized herein for the convenience of readers ...

The wastewater treatment plant at the DOD s Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Keyport, Washington, used a sulfur dioxide caustic process. In 1995, a full-scale neutral process system was installed to replace the existing wastewater treatment plant. The vendor estimated that the new system would save 31,950 annually (D187375, p. 2). 

Pilot-plant studies and full-scale plants have shown successful treatment of wastewaters with 5000 to 50,000 mg/L COD from dairy, brewery, other food preparation wastes paper pulp wastes deicing fluids and other hazardous and nonhazardous materials. Design criteria for biological fluidized-bed systems are included in Table 22-51. 

Stocking et al. mentions in a report for the California MTBE Research Partnership [28] several pilot studies for UV/H2O2 treatment of MTBE contaminated water. One is the Char nock Wellfield located in California. Here, medium-pressure UV lamps were implemented. However, costs were significantly higher and removal efficiencies lower than expected, and the formation of by-products required additional treatment. The authors mention furthermore two installations for wastewater treatment by UV/H2O2 systems treating 100 mg/L and 11 mg/L initial MTBE concentration, respectively. Only one full scale-drinking water treatment plant is so far reported located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Here also medium pressure UV lamps are implemented.
