The objective of the current research was to perform an experimental pilot study of municipal sewage wastewater treatment by activated sludge process. To this end, the biomass growth, system performance, flocs stealliabilityand microbial hygienic parameters were evaluated and assessed. The results highlight an optimal growth of the biomass, which reached 4.83±0.25 gTSS.l-1 and 3.68±0.2 gVSS.l-1. The activated sludge performances in term of TSS, COD, BOD5, TKN and TP were 92%, 94%, 97%, 85% and 16%, respectively. This value shows an efficient treatment of the wastewater organic pollution and nutrients by activated sludge pilot system. In addition, the treated effluent measured parameters concentrations were bellow Moroccan regulation for direct discharge into environment. The sludge volume index (SVI) average concentrations were in the range of 80 mL.g-1 to 150 mL.g-1, indicating the good folcs settleability during the experimental period. Concerning microbiological analysis, no sign...

Domestic wastewater (toilet water and household water from kitchens) is evacuated in unit or separate networks to the purification station (STEP) in order to eliminate their waste; organic and mineral matter, dissolved and suspended before discharging them into the natural environment or reusing them in irrigation. The main purpose of this work is to operate the wastewater treatment plant in the Ben Slimane Airport area by using activated sludge, this process consists of destroying pollutants and microorganisms by bacteria formed in the clarifier. Moreover, the operation of the station was considered by controlling the sensors installed in each basin to promote their optimization, in addition, the physicochemical analysis was carried out in the STEP laboratory. The results found for the parameters studied showed the very effective reduction of the organic load of the wastewater treatment plant, so these values meet the discharge standards defined by Moroccan legislation.

The Sana'a Basin is located in central highlands of Yemen. This basin is characterized by water crisis due to arid climate with low rainfall (170 mm/year), and drawdown of piezometric levels. Promoting water reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation could mitigate this water crisis. This study assesses the performance of Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) by activated sludge of Sana'a City by analyzing the quality raw and treated wastewater predominantly by domestic sewage. A comparison with Yemen and international guideline reveals the results of pH, EC and PO4 show that the effluent from SWWTP are in admissible standard limit for irrigation. But, the others parameters such as BOD, COD, NH4, TSS, phenols and heavy metals are very high than the standard values due to the overloaded of SWWTP. The added of facultative ponds can improve the performance of this station. Therefore, the quality of final effluent will be better.

Physicochemical studies on wastewater quality and microscopic analyses of activated sludge are necessary to properly evaluate the condition of activated sludge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of the sludge biotic index to determine when a change in treatment quality is short-lived, caused by, e.g., a change in influent quality or quantity, and when it indicates adverse changes in the biocenosis of activated sludge, which would very likely result in the lower efficiency of wastewater treatment in the near future. The objects of the study were two identical parallel running small wastewater treatment plants. The following indicators of contamination were analyzed: the chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5), and total suspended solids (TSS). The authors additionally carried out a microscopic analysis. The study confirmed a correlation between the sludge biotic index and the removal efficiency of COD and BOD 5 ; however, no correlation was found between the sludge biotic index and the removal efficiency of total suspended solids. The presence of metazoan microorganisms coincided in time with a good effluent treatment efficiency. When their quantity declined, a decrease in the efficiency of wastewater treatment was also observed.

In the present study, the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of the potable water in the prefecture of Kozani are studied, according to the results of the analysis carried out in the Environmental Centre Laboratory, during 2002-2005. According to the Greek Legislation and the EU Directive for potable water, a water quality monitoring program was created for the County of Kozani, and the parameters of the Check and Audit Monitoring were examined for a number of samples from selected samples sites at regular intervals. Conclusions relative to the water adequacy of springs and drills, water tanks and supply network, as well as the possible reasons for water quality problems are presented in the study. Generally, the water quality depends on its chemical and microbiological condition. In the areas with penetrable formations and agricultural activity, the nitrates presence was observed in relatively stable concentrations in time. The water is easily infected during its transportation from the source to the internal water supply network and finally to the consumer. The condition of the water supply networks is a factor which contributes to the water quality.
