| ABSTRACT: | The report discusses the proposed wastewater treatments plants for Al-Bireh area. It introduces four basic processes which can produce high quality effluent. The processes studied are trickling filter, rotating biological contractor (RBC), aerated lagoons and extended aeration. The report also gives a comparison between the four suggested processes clarifying the advantages and disadvantages of each process. Finally the extended aeration process is recommended as the most suitable process for the treatment plant at Al Bireh area. Extended aeration is an activated sludge process, in which a mixture of sewage and activated sludge is agitated and aerated. The activated sludge is subsequently separated from the treated sewage in a settling tank where it is then partly returned to the aeration basin. The treated sewage from the aeration basin is the plant effluent. |
