“…14,15 There have been limitations reported in the standard methods for utilizing wastewater in the production of concrete, and wastewater treatment is needed before being discharged into the environment. [16][17][18][19][20] Since wastewater could pose immense hazards to both human health and the ecosystem, [21][22][23][24][25] it must be treated to have a clean and sustainable water system. [26][27][28][29] However, even after a treatment, it could contain impurities, contaminants, and additional components in comparison to pure freshwater, 30,31 which might lead to some mechanical and durability disadvantages and should be investigated precisely.…”

With water scarcity posing an ever‐present worldwide crisis, treated wastewater usage as an alternative to fresh water could be a smart choice and contribute to a sustainable construction industry. Numerous studies have been conducted by using treated domestic or industrial wastewater in concrete production, providing a promising solution to the global water shortage and wastewater management. However, the effectiveness of wastewater on the concrete manufacturing in comparison to pure freshwater has been a concern due to its impurities and contaminants. The results derived from previously published studies on concrete manufacturing with wastewater vary as a consequence of considerate different additives, curing age, treatment method, or wastewater quality. This review compiles and compares the previous investigations on physical and mechanical properties, durability characteristics, and morphological assessments of manufactured concrete with treated wastewater, and discusses the reasons for similarities and differences. Research findings and conclusions from the literature are summarized, and future research directions based on the research gaps are also recommended.

“…With STOAT, users can design a sewage treatment system, determine how to connect and operate each unit, and see the performance of One sewage treatment system predicts a specific time [9]. STOAT is a computer-based program designed to simulate the performance of sewage treatment plants and turned out to be a useful tool of the software for studying the performance of the sewage treatment plant [10,11].…”

Without properly treated wastewater released from the textile industry contains organic and inorganic pollutants that cause environmental problems like water body contamination, which causes marine life disappearance, soil contamination, and air pollution. Treatment of textile industry wastewater is difficult due to pollutant types existing like BOD, COD, toxic heavy metals, organic particle matter, inorganic particle matter, color, etc. The multi-component wastewater pollutant needs proper designs to remove such pollutants. Dire Dawa textile wastewater treatment plant (design) and simulation was the objective of this study. The method of this study was experimental and software modelling. STOAT model software is the best capable of simulation treatments plants, and the time to complete the simulation was 3 days. The STOAT graphic and statically data analysis model efficiently removed the multi-components of pollutants effluent from Dire Dawa textile industry. Some pollutant parameter measures before design model are SS 350 mg/L, DS 2000 mg/L, ammonia 55 mg/L, BOD 350 mg/L, nitrate 0 mg/L and DO 12 mg/L. The effluent of wastewater treatment plant model simulation results are 2 mg/L SS, ammonia 8.82 mg/L, BOD 2.5 mg/L, and nitrate increases from 0 to 58 mg/L by ammonia oxidation. Totally 98.7% SS, 99% BOD, and 84% ammonia were removed in the design model. In the sludge outlet, nitrate contents increase due to nitrification being processed rather than denitrification.

“…In the petroleum industry, a range of wastewater treatment technologies, including primary treatment processes such as physical and physicochemical processes; secondary treatment processes such as suspended and/or attach growth biological processes; and tertiary treatment processes such as sand filtration, membrane processes, ion exchange, chemical oxidation, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), etc., have been utilized to treat wastewater streams [2,[11][12][13][14][21][22][23][24]. There is an increasing interest in designing the new energy-efficient, cost-effective, reliable, resilient, and sustainable wastewater treatment systems [25].…”

Activities and/or processes in different segments of the petroleum industry, including upstream and downstream, generate aqueous waste streams containing oil and various contaminants that require treatment/purification before release/reuse. Nanofiltration (NF) technology has been approved as an efficient technology for treating wastewater streams from the petroleum industry. The primary critical issues in an NF treatment process can be listed as mitigation of membrane fouling; selection of appropriate pre-treatment process; and selection of a suitable, cost-effective, non-hazardous cleaning strategy. In this study, NF separation mechanisms, membrane fabrication/modification, effective factors on NF performance, and fouling are briefly reviewed. Then, a summary of recent NF treatment studies on various petroleum wastewaters and performance evaluation is presented. Finally, based on the gaps identified in the field, the conclusions and future perspectives are discussed.
