“…In most cases, the influent wastewater has to undergo mechanical cleaning and primary sedimentation before it can be flows into the filter to avoid problems with clogging. Many applications of Biofilm technologies have been successfully applied as a low-cost treatment technology in the Arid Region and shows a high treatment efficiency in it applications for small and large scales of waterwater treatment plants [9].…”

This study demonstrates the optimization of different Biofilm applications in wastewater treatment for a cost-effective solution. The increase of wastewater treatment cost because of high treatment efficiency requested and energy consumption makes such applications very interested in this field. Therefore, aerated reactors for wastewater treatment units were designed to work as Submerged Fixed Biofilm Bed, on the basis of biofilm-microorganisms attached to monolithic plastic supports to increase the treatment efficiency. This application depends on the aerobic process and achieved by the aeration in BOD reduction and Nitrifications reactors (Oxidation of organic compounds and nitrification). This was implemented by mixing and transport treatment processes within the biofilm attached to the plastic fixed media. The anaerobic reactor in this study was designed also to be simultaneous the de-nitrification stage by the application of a moving bed de-nitrification reactor which was considered as a part of the wastewater treatment process to achieve high treatment efficiency for the study pilot plant. The one-year-scientific evaluation was conducted onsite for the municipal wastewater pilot plant includes a test series with well-defined treatment parameters (soft mixing of the suspending the moving bed carriers; intermediate solids removal unit prior to the nitrification reactors; the mechanism for preventing the carriers to move with the flow into the subsequent reactor) such as waste-water-flow, quality, temperature, salinity, organic and hydraulic load and extensive sampling). The above application of the compact-container-system is considered as a typical field of application, for the following reasons: Need of quality improvements discharged into water body, which is often in the vicinity of bathing beaches; Need for Nutrient-Removal-Systems to avoid algae growth going into water bodies and; Space limitations in a resort and saving the implementation capital cost). The comparison between the application of the biofilm concept and the activated sludge system saved more than 40% tank size; 85% space/area; and up to 30% construction cost.

Sludge, or residual solids, is the end products of wastewater treatment processes, whether it is biological or physical-chemical treatment. Sludge production in MENA countries is increasing because of the growth in wastewater treatment systems. This chapter presents sludge management practices in some MENA countries, where there are various alternative processes available for sludge treatment and disposal. The processes selected depend primarily on the nature and characteristics of the sludge and on the final disposal method employed, in addition to the economic evaluation, beneficial use requirements, and local conditions. The system selected must be able to receive the sludge produced and to economically convert it to a product that is environmentally acceptable for disposal. The sources of sludge and solids produced by wastewater treatment plants related to the wastewater types and sources. However, the characteristic of sludge is depending on its origin and on the treatment methods of wastewater treatment operational process. Various sludge treatment and disposal processes will be presented in this study, with emphasis on the most used technologies in MENA region. There are some technologies are applied to produce sludge treatment process like dewatering, Thickening, and sludge drying to minimizing sludge volume by removing water from sludge. Aerobic or anaerobic digestion and composting are used to treat or stabilize the organic material in the sludge. Final disposal methods like incineration, land application and sanitary landfill will be discussed in terms of environmental constraints, and public health, as well as legislation for the reuse and disposal of sludge. Case studies will be provided to discuss practices and trends in sludge management in selected MENA countries.
