Abstract:
|
|
Sludges, biosolids, and other residuals typically are sampled and analyzed to ensure that proper performance of the various solids handling and treatment processes is achieved. Likewise, disposal of residuals may entail meeting a number of pollutant parameters established to protect human health and prevent nutrient overloading of the environment. Regulatory requirements, such as those established in the U.S., increase the frequency and scope of analysis for these residuals. Additionally, information obtained from sampling and analysis can improve the economical operation of the treatment facility.
This chapter describes the types of residuals present in wastewater. It details where those residuals are found and their typical percentages in different stages of the wastewater treatment process. The chapter also presents information on the biological and chemical make-up of the different types of residuals. The chapter further describes how to obtain samples of these residuals and what typical tests are required to be performed from a regulatory and process control perspective. The testing procedures are described and referenced for further information and reasoning is given as to which test should be performed and what information can be provided from each. The tables have been updated to reflect the latest regulatory requirements. This chapter is a good general reference regarding the types of residuals commonly found in wastewater and the types of testing procedures typically utilized to analyze them.
