“…In addition, deposits of phosphate are intensively used as the main source for the production of industrial fertilizers. The amount of these minerals is limited which implies the need for the recycling of phosphorus [7]. To the WWTP flows an average of 296 Mg on nitrogen and 43 Mg of phosphorus per year.…”

Abstract. The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) 'Swarzewo' plays a special role in the protection of coastal waters of the Baltic Sea area and the management of solid wastes in the region. This paper discusses several options implemented in the WWTP area in order to achieve sustainability. The first one was the inclusion of WWTP into municipal waste management plan to increase the biogas production and to reduce volume of organic waste in the region. Nowadays, daily production of about 2000 m 3 of biogas is gained. The energy balance shows a considerable benefit from the co-fermentation of sludge with municipal organic wastes. The next goal was to obtain a favorable economical balance of energy and high level of pollution reduction. The last one was the involvement of local communities in a conscious segregation of waste 'at source'. For the purpose of this paper bio-energy production, nutrient elimination, composting, and research, have been selected as indicators of sustainable development. Furthermore, in this study the methods of nutrient recovery from wastewater were explored. Struvite precipitation and compost production were presented as an example of nutrient elimination with 'end of waste' production. Depending on the struvite precipitation conditions, recovery of 4 Mg of phosphorous and 1,8 Mg of nitrogen is possible to obtain annually.

“…Indeed, scholars and technicians started to evaluate the impacts of wastewater collection and disposal on the environment and in particular on the surface and groundwater. The first wastewater treatment systems appeared at the beginning of the century, namely the trickling filters [138], although the true protagonist of the last century was the activated sludge system [68]. Given the close interdependence between sewers, treatment plant and receiving water bodies, the principal challenge of the modern times has been studying them with a systematic and unified approach.…”

“…The Cloaca Maxima started near the Forum Augustum and flowed into the Tiber near the Ponte Palatino. During the time of the emperors (31 BC to 193 AD), the main channel could be travelled by boat and could be entered via manholes, since it has a breadth up to 3.2 m and a height up to 4.2 m [67,68].…”

Abstract:Although there is evidence of surface-based storm drainage systems in early Babylonian and Mesopotamian Empires in Iraq (ca. 4000-2500 BC), it is not until after ca. 3000 BC that we find evidence of the well organized and operated sewer and drainage systems of the Minoans and Harappans in Crete and the Indus valley, respectively. The Minoans and Indus valley civilizations originally, and the Hellenes and Romans thereafter, are considered pioneers in developing basic sewerage and drainage technologies, with OPEN ACCESS Sustainability 2014, 6 3937 emphasis on sanitation in the urban environment. The Hellenes and Romans further developed these techniques and greatly increased the scale of these systems. Although other ancient civilizations also contributed, notably some of the Chinese dynasties, very little progress was made during the Dark ages from ca. 300 AD through to the middle of the 18th century. It was only from 1850 onwards that that modern sewerage was "reborn", but many of the principles grasped by the ancients are still in use today. This paper traces the development of the sewer from those earliest of civilizations through to the present day and beyond. A 6000 year technological history is a powerful validation of the vital contribution of sewers to human history.

“…adsorption, chemical precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, and ionic exchange) can be used to separate dissolved, emulsified and solid-separating compounds from water environment (Anjaneyulu et al, 2005;Babu et al, 2007;Robinson et al, 2001;Suteu et al, 2009a;Suteu et al, 2011a;Zaharia, 2006;Zaharia et al, 2009;Zaharia et al, 2011). The partial and complete mineralization or decomposition of pollutants can be achieved by biological and chemical processes (biological processes in connection with the activated sludge processes and membrane bioreactors, advanced oxidation with ozone, H 2 O 2 , UV) (Dos Santos et al, 2004 ;Oztekin et al, 2010 ;Wiesmann et al, 2007 ;Zaharia et al, 2009). A textile operator will decide on options available to plan forward strategy that will ensure compliance with the environmental regulators' requirements on a progressive basis focused on some options and applied solutions of different separation processes (sedimentation, filtration, membrane separation), and some physico-chemical treatment steps (i.e.…”
