AI Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the performance of a wastewater treatment plant in Bursa, Turkey, analyzing various parameters like COD, BOD, SS, TN, TP, color, and heavy metals over the years 2018-2020.
- - Removal efficiencies of pollutants ranged from 61-91% for COD, 78-97% for BOD, and other parameters showing similarly high removal rates, ensuring effective treatment.
- - Operating costs were calculated at 0.0675 USD/m for treated wastewater and 2.94 USD/kg COD for organic load removed, with treated water meeting all discharge limits throughout the monitoring period.
Article Abstract
In this study, the performance of the wastewater treatment plant, which treats approximately 80,000 m/day of domestic and industrial wastewater in the Bursa, Turkey, for the 2018-2020 period, is evaluated based on the analysis of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), suspended solid (SS), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), color, and some heavy metals (Cr, CN, Cd, Fe, Cu, and Zn) parameters. Treatment plant removal efficiencies were 61-91% for COD; 78-97% for BOD; 54-94% for SS; and 57-84% for TN. It was detected in the range of 23-84% for TP and 40-68% for color. The operating costs per treated wastewater volume were calculated as 0.0675 USD/m and 2.94 USD/kg COD per organic load removed. The quality of treated water was compared with the discharge limits of the receiving medium, and no limit values were exceeded in any parameters during the monitoring years.
