Understanding the impact of septicity on wastewater treatment

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Transportation of sewage can lead to the development of septicity. This transforms the character of the sewage and can lead to the formation of odour and methane emissions. Unfortunately, the impact of septicity on wastewater characteristic and how such changes influence treatment efficacy are poorly understood. Accordingly, this EngD studentship offers an exciting opportunity to explore a very common but massively under explored aspect of sewage treatment. The work will explore the transformations that occur and develop appropriate models of the changing character. The outcomes of this will be translated into impact on the efficacy of sewage treatment through a combination of laboratory testing, pilot plants, site testing and modelling. The work will be linked to analysis of TOTEX, life cycle analysis and robustness to establish the overall business case for implementation.
