The performed study aimed to determine the effect of sewage temperature in bioreactors on pollution discharges measured by the BOD5, COD and total ni-trogen indexes. The research was carried out in a municipal sequential batch re-actor (SBR) treatment plant. The discussed treatment plant is located in Książ Wielki commune in Miechów district in Lesser Poland voivodeship. Households from two villages: Książ Wielki and Wielka Wieś discharge their sewage into the analysed treatment plant. An average of 100 to 110 m3•d-1 of sewage constituting nearly 50% of the designed hydraulic load of this object was discharged into the treatment plant during the study period. Temperature measurements and sewage sampling for physicochemical analyses were performed for 24 months in 2007 and 2008. Twenty four sewage samples were collected with a frequency of once per month. The lowest sewage temperature in the bioreactor during the study period was 7.1°C, whereas the highest temperature reached 18.8°C. Therefore, the sew-age temperature amplitude in the bioreactor was 11.7°C. Low sewage temperature below 10°C occurred from December to April. Lower efficiency of neutralisation of the 3 analysed pollution indexes was observed in this period. The carried out research revealed average relationship between the sewage temperature in the ...
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the percentage of sewage from septic tanks to the variability of pollutant concentrations in the mixture of sewage undergoing treatment process in the collective sewage treatment plant. The study involved measuring the daily amount of wastewater influent and from septic tanks and determined the percentage of the amount of sewage from septic tanks in relation to the total wastewater being purified. During the 5-year study collected and analyzed 20 samples of sewage, which were made markings indicators: BOD5, COD and total suspension. After the statistical analysis, it was found that with the increase of the share of sewage from septic tanks by 1% increased the value of BOD5 14.6 mgO2•dm-3, increases the value of COD 40.2 mgO2•dm-3 and increases the concentration of total suspension of 21,4 mg•dm-3 in the total mixture of the waste water being purified. ...
