Abstract
The aim of this survey is to summarise the current wastewater treatment methods used in industry and outline new treatments that have or are about to come onto the market. Many of these new technologies are based around the more established systems such as the activated sludge process and the trickling filter. However, some have shown novel innovations in treatment protocols, such as combining two proven methods to overcome problems and produce an improved process. Many of the problems encountered centre on nitrification, so a brief outline of this will be given. Also covered here will be the variety of effluents that treatment systems could be asked to treat and their relative challenges. Finally the WATER process, a new treatment methodology on which this thesis is based will be introduced, its aims outlined and the conclusions from the survey relative to this process will be drawn.
