Sewage Parameters 4 Part 2: Phosphorus (P)
Hey again, Last time we discussed Phosphorus (P) in its different forms and why it is important as regards package wastewater treatment. It is frequently being specified as an effluent parameter at levels from 0.5 – 5 mg/l. The
Sewage Parameters 5: Ammonia (NH4)
Hi, The last topic that was discussed on this blog was Phosphorus (P). Next we are going to move on to the complex topic of Ammonia (NH4) and how to remove it from sewage. The presence of nutrients in
Sewage Parameters 5 Part 2: Ammonia (NH4)
Hi, continuing on from the last entry in our education blog, we will now go through a simple example of how to calculate the extra package effluent treatment plant capacity required in term of Population Equivalents (PE) to achieve the correct
Sewage Parameters 6 Part 1: Total Nitrogen
Hi, we are back to discuss how to lower the total level of Nitrogen from inlet to outlet of a sewage treatment plant. Total Nitrogen is often abbreviated to TN or N. The reduction of TN is a two stage
Sewage Parameters 6 Part 2: Total Nitrogen
Hi, Today we are going to discuss how to actually denitrify (the conversion of NO3 to Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O2) gas which is given off in the atmosphere) which is the second step in the process to lower Total
Sewage Parameters 7: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
When discussing package sewage treatment one parameter that we neglected to cover is that of COD which means Chemical Oxygen Demand. It is a test of the amount of oxygen required to oxidise organic matter in a sewage sample by chemical
