The article presents effectiveness of sewage pollutants’ reduction in Sewage Treatment Plant „KUJAWY”. Treatment plant “KUJAWY” is meant to neutralise living sewage from Nowa Huta quarter for Krakow city. Capacity of the treatment plant is 80 000 m3*d-1. The research was carried out in the period from 01.04.2006 to 31.03.2007. Results’ analysis was performed on the basis of raw and treated sewage concentration. Three pollutants’ indexes from the basic group were analysed: BOD5, CODCr and total suspended solids and two indexes from the eutrophic group: general nitrogen and general phosphorus. Basing on the results’ analysis, mean effectiveness of BOD5 reduction was defined on the level of 98,5%, CODCr – 96,0%, total suspended solids– 98,2%, general nitrogen– 73,7% and general phosphorus – 91,4%. ...
The article presents results of research carried out on four “DUOFILTER” type septic tanks. Analysed objects made first step of living sewage treatment in household sewage treatment plants. As a second step of treatment vertical flow sand filter was applied. Sewage flow through the tank in each case was less than 1,0 m3*d-1. Septic tank consisted of three chambers: first – sedimental one and two flow ones, equipped with filter made of porous structures. The research was carried out during the period from October 2003 to May 2005. Concentrations of raw sewage pollutants were analysed – taken from the first chamber of the tank, and sewage primarily treated – taken on the outflow from the tank. Three indexes from the basic group: BOD5, CODCr, total suspended solids were physicochemically analysed. On the basis of the carried out results’ analysis, mean effectiveness of BOD5 was ascertained from 25,3 to 40,2%; CODCr from 32,4 to 43,5 %; total suspended solids from 35,9 to 56%. ...
The article presents effectiveness of sewage treatment in Dąbrowa Tarnowska treatment plant. The research was carried out in the period from January 2005 to September 2007. Two indexes from the basic group: BOD5, total suspended solids and from the eutrophic group: general nitrogen and general phosphorus were physicochemically analysed. Efficiency of treatment was on the low level, which concerns basic pollution indexes BOD5 and total suspended solids, as well as biogenic compounds (general nitrogen and general phosphorus). The reason for this may be bad technical state of the treatment plant, which was built in the sixties of the 20th century. The problem may be solved by building a modern sewage treatment plant, which allows to treat sewages up to the level admissible by the obliging Ordinance. ...
The article presents results of analyses concerning the influence of air temperature on the sewage temperature in the household sewage treatment plant. Each of the objective treatment plants (4 of them) consisted of the septic tank and vertical flow sand filter. The research was carried out from March 2003 to May 2006. Air temperature, raw sewage temperature (flowing into the septic tank), primarily treated sewage (after the septic tank) and treated sewage (on the out-flow from the septic tank) temperature was measured. The influence of the sur-rounding temperature on the raw sewage, primarily treated sewage and treated sewage temperature was statistically analyzed. On the basis of the research it was ascertained, that the temperature of the raw, primarily treated and treated sewage is influenced by the air temperature. ...
