Need for advanced wastewater treatment
1. Remove organic matter and TSS to meet more stringent discharge and reuse requirements.
2. Remove TSS for more effective disinfection.
3. Remove nutrients contained to limit eutrophication of sensitive water bodies.
4. Remove specific inorganic (e.g., heavy metals) and organic constituents (e.g., MTBE) to meet more stringent discharge and reuse requirements both surface water and land-based effluent dispersal and for indirect potable reuse application.
5. Remove specific inorganic and inorganic constituents for industrial reuse (e.g., cooling water, process water…).

Technologies used for advanced treatment
1. Removal of organic and inorganic colloidal and suspended solids (suspended solids, organic matters…), using filtration
• Depth filtration• Surface filtration• Membrane filtratration

2. Removal of dissolved organic constituents (total organic carbon, refractory organic, volatile organic compounds)
• Carbon adsorption• Reverse osmosis• Chemical precipitation• Chemical oxidation• Advanced chemical oxidation• Electrodialysis• Distillation
3. Removal of dissolved inorganic constituents (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, phosphorus, total dissolved solids)
• Chemical precipitation• Ion exchange• Ultrafiltration• Reverse osmosis• Electrodialysis• Distillation

4. Removal of biological constituents (bacteria, protozoan cysts and oocysts, viruses)
• Depth filtration• Micro and ultrafiltration• Reverse osmosis• Electrodialysis• Distillation
Because the effectiveness of the unit operations and processes listed is
variable, disinfection of the treated effluent is required for most application

Introduction to depth filtration

Selection and design considerations for depth filters
1. Selection and design filter technologies must be based on:• Knowledge of the types of filters that are available• A general understanding of their performance
characteristics• An appreciation of the process variables controlling depth
filtration
2. Design for effluent filtration systems include:• Influent wastewater characteristics• Design and operation of the biological treatment process• Type of filtration technology to be used• Available flow-control options• Type of filter backwashing system• Filter control systems and intrumentation
10
Available filtration technologies
a. Conventional mono-medium downflow filter
b. Conventional dual-medium downflow filter c. Conventional mono-medium
deep-bed downflow filterd. Continuous backwash deep-bed upflow filter
e. Pulse-bed filter f. Traveling-bridge filter

Two-stage filtration
A large size sand diameter is used in the first filter to increase the contact time and to minimize clogging
A smaller sand size is used in the second filter to remove residual particles from the first stage filter
13
Effluent filtration with chemical addition
• To achieve specific treatment objectives including removal of specific contaminants
• Phosphorus • Metal ions• Humic substances
• Chemicals commonly used in effluent filtration• Organic polymers (cationic, anionic, or nonionic (no
charge)• Alum and ferric compounds (chloride)
14
Surface filtration
Materials: woven metal fabrics, cloth fabrics of different weaves, and variety of synthetic materials
Surface filters have openings in size range from 10 to 30µm. In membrane filters the pore
size can vary from 0.0001 to 1.0µm

Membrane filtration

Reverse osmosis (RO)
• When two solutions having different solute concentrations are separated by a semi permeable membrane, a difference in chemical potential will exist across the membrane
• RO is used for the removal of dissolved constituents from the wastewater remaining after advanced treatment with depth filtration of microfiltration.
a. Osmotic flow
b. Osmotic equilibrium
c. Reverse osmosis
17
Electrodialysis (ED)• In the electrodialysis process, ionic components of a solution are separated
through the use of semipereable ion-selective membrane
• The current required for electrodialysis can be estimated by Faraday’s Laws of electrolysis
Where:
I = current, amp
F = Faraday’s constant
= 96,485amp.s/gram equivalent = 96,485 A.s/eq
n = number of cell in the stack
Ec = current efficiency expressed as a fraction

ION EXCHANGE
• Ion exchange is a unit process in which ions of a given species are displaced from an insoluble exchange material by ions of a different species in solution.
• Domestic water softening: where sodium ions from a cationic-exchange resin replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the treated water.
• Ion exchange has been used in wastewater application for removal of nitrogen, heavy metals, and total dissolved solids
• Ion-exchange materials:
• Naturally, zeolites (complex of aluminosilicates with sodium)
• Synthetic ion-exchange material: resins or phenolic polymers
1. Strong-acid cation
2. Weak-acid cation
3. Strong-base anion
4. Weak-base anion
