IV. Wastewater Treatment TechnologiesTopic IV. 5. Ranking and Quality Standards of the Receiving Waters. Necessary Wastewater Treatment Efficiency Ranking (Categorisation) of the Receiving Waters I. According to the Regulation No 7 / 1986 (old, but still valid) - 3 categories (ranks) depending on the receiving water use • I category (rank) -surface waters used for potable water supply • II category (rank) -surface waters used for cattle water drinking, fishering, sports and recreation • III category (rank) -surface waters used for irrigation II. According to the EU standards (and Regulation No? at the new Bulgarian Water Act - 2000) - 5 categories (ranks)
Quality Standards of the Receiving Waters(Imission or Ecological Norms) According to the Regulation No 7 / 1986 (still valid) I. Main groups of water quality parameters • Group A - general physical and non-organic water quality parameters • Group B - general water quality parameters for organic pollutants • Group C - general water quality parameters for non-organic pollutants of industrial origin • Group D - general water quality parameters for organic pollutants of industrial origin • Group E - biological water quality indicators
Suspended solids - SS II rank - 50 mg/l III rank - 100 mg/l BOD5 II rank - 15 mg/l III rank - 25 mg/l COD II rank - 70 mg/l III rank - 100 mg/l Ammonium-N II rank - 2,0 mg/l III rank - 5,0 mg/l Nitrates-N II rank - 10 mg/l III rank - 20 mg/l Phosphates-PO4 II rank - 1,0 mg/l III rank - 2,0 mg/l Quality Standards of the Receiving Waters(Imission or Ecological Norms)According to the Regulation No 7 / 1986 (still valid)II. Standard values (upper limits) of some important water quality parameters (out of 87)
Quality Standards of the Wastewater Emissions(Emission Norms) According to the Regulation No 6 / 2000 (At the new Water Act - 2000) Particularities: • Establishing of upper limits for harmful substances and definite characteristic pollutants in wastewater emissions from municipal WWTP’s and in some kinds of industrial wastewater • Introducing additional types of surface waters ranking, depending of their sensitivity to eutrophycation • Sensitive zones - with restrictions for nutrients upper limit concentrations • Less sensitive zones - without restrictions for nutrients concentrations • Establishing of specific requirements for nutrients upper limit concentrations in the receiving waters depending on their sensitivity to eutrophycation
Necessary Wastewater Treatment Efficiency Receiving Waters Self Purification General information: • Two types of surface waters pollutants • Biodegradable - depleting both by dilution and degradation • Biorefractory - depleting only by dilution • Biodegradable pollutants concentrations decrease down the stream from the point of introduction, due to the processes of self purification and turbulent mixing in the receiving water • Pollutants standard concentration values are controlled at the point of water intake in a distance L, downstream from the point of wastewater emission introduction
Necessary Wastewater Treatment Efficiency General Pollutants Mass Balance Qwe- wastewater emission discharge, m3/s Qrw - receiving water discharge, m3/s Cwe - pollutant concentration in wastewater emission, g/m3 Crw - pollutant concentration in receiving water, g/m3 Clim - pollutant limit concentration in receiving water, g/m3 a - coefficient of mixing (of wastewater and receiving water) Fsp - factor (function) reflecting receiving water self purification Fsp= 1 for biorefractory pollutants and when applying Streeter-Phelps equations
Necessary Wastewater Treatment EfficiencyGeneral Pollutants Mass Balance For BOD depletion without considering reaeration: For oxygen balance according to the Streeter-Phelps equations: where Lo is obtained by solution of the Streeter-Phelps equations Necessary Wastewater Treatment Efficiency - necessary wastewater treatment efficiency Ccw - pollutant concentration in the coarse wastewater at the inlet of the WWTP, g/m3
