| ABSTRACT: | SCF assisted in implementing some pilot projects for biological treatment in wastewater in different areas in the West Bank. The systems used are: septic tanks coupled with subsurface drainage(SDT), sequencing batch reactor (SBR), settler-trickling filter-classifier systems, and facultative stabilization ponds. The principle idea behind biological treatment systems is to allow the growth of bacteria which will consume the organic matter found in wastewater. Septic tanks coupled with SDTs are suitable for non-sewer areas, which SBRs and facultative stabilization ponds can be used only where sewage collections systems exist. The report includes a description of each system and a comprehensive evaluation which covers technical, financial, administrative community and environmental aspects. |
