Primary – Secondary Treatment • Primary and secondary treatment handle non-toxic wastewaters. • If ww contains toxic compounds, they have to be pretreated before these processes.
Primary Treatment • Preparation of wastewater for biological treatment • Removal of large solids by screening, grit removal • Equalization: Levels out the hour to hour variations in flows and concentrations. • Spill Pond: Retain slugs of concentrated wastes that could upset the downstream processes.
Primary Treatment • Neutralization: Follows equalization. Streams of different pH neutralize each other • Oil and grease, SS removal by flotation, sedimentation or filtration
Secondary Treatment • Biological degredation of soluble organic compounds Biotreatment: - Aerobic - Anaerobic
In-plant Treatment • Necessary for biological treatment. • Heavy metals, pesticides pass through primary treatment and inhibit biological treatment. • Effective for low volume streams with high concentration of non-degredable materials. • Easier to treat a specific pollutant from a small and concentrated stream than a large dilute stream.
In-plant Treatment • Precipitation • Activated carbon adsorption • Chemical oxidation • Air or stream stripping • Ion exchange • Reverse osmosis • Electrodialysis • Wet air oxidation
