| Title | Evaluating the Performance and Efficiency of CYCLATOR: A New Wastewater Treatment Technology based on Sequencing Batch Reactor |
| Summary | The volume of wastewater generated is increasing with the rapid development giving the opportunity for new industries to expand. The rising population is one of the other important factors which directly proportionate with the quantity of discharge of wastewater. In the early 20th century, when environmental laws were slowly introduced, no laws existed to regulate the discharge of wastewater. However, with the economic development and the resulting negative impacts on the environment, laws on the environment were enforced and became important. The treatment of wastewater to achieve safe levels was difficult in older times. This is because the early technology allowed to treat one or two contaminants at a time and allowed other major contaminants to flow in the environment. Discharge of harmful and hazardous chemical and bacteriological contaminants present in the wastewater posed a big problem. Some of the effects of releasing the wastewater in the water bodies or rivers are degradation of the quality of water, decline in the population of aquatic plants and animals, eutrophication or algal bloom and waterborne diseases impacting the health of people. This thesis focuses on the newly developed technology called Cyclator (which is based on the sequencing batch reactor) to treat the wastewater efficiently and safely disposing of the wastewater in the environment. The samples were collected from the treated effluent of Cyclator and compared with the discharge standards to check the compliance. The results showed all the parameters were under the compliance of discharge standards and Cyclator is efficient in treating the wastewater. |
