Study Notes
- AL-DUWEESH discusses various wastewater pretreatments and treatments.
- Pretreatment includes screening, grit chambers, and floatation.
- Screening uses bar screens to retain coarse solids, which are then disposed of.
- Grit chambers separate heavier particles using gravity, consisting of sand, gravel, and organic matter.
- Floatation separates lighter particles, such as fats, oils, and greases.
- Primary treatment is through sedimentation, which removes about 60% of suspended solids and 35% of Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
- Secondary treatment is through aeration, which removes organic matter and kills pathogens, leaving 85% of water purified.
- Disinfection is the final step, using chlorine or other disinfectants to kill remaining pathogens.
- Tertiary treatment may be necessary to remove additional pollutants like nitrogen and phosphorus.
- Reuse and reclamation of wastewater is an alternative to discharge, with advanced technologies like membrane filtration.
- Kuwait utilizes membrane-based wastewater treatments to extend capacity and meet demand.
- The largest membrane-based municipal wastewater reuse plant is in Kuwait, using an integrated membrane system (MF/UF-RO).
