Wastewater Treatment:Reactions
The aerobic conversion of the organic matter occurs in three steps:
1. Oxidation
COHNS + O2 + BACTERIA
(Organic matter)
Tertiary Treatment for phosporus removal with Alum or Ferric or Lime( Chemical)
Al3+ + PO4 -3 -- AlPO4;
Ca(OH)2 + PO4 Ca5OH(PO4)3
Goal
quality The technology must consistently meet the standards as
required.
The process choice should consider minimizing power

Trickling Filters
With time, the slime layer
becomes thicker and thicker until
oxygen and organic matter can not
penetrate to the organisms on the
inside.

Anaerobic digestion
Can be done for raw wastewater or

UASB Reactors
UASB is an anaerobic process
in which influent wastewater
is fed from the bottom of the
reactor and travels in an upflow mode through the
sludge blanket
Critical components of UASB
design are the influent
distribution system, the gassolids separator and effluent
withdrawal design.
Compared to other anaerobic
processes, UASB allows the
use of high hydraulic loading.
