What’s in wastewater?
Waste
human feces and urine food from sinks soaps and other cleaning agents runoff from streets and lawns industrial discharges
What’s in wastewater?
Water
lots of it! Urinal - 1 gallon per flush Toilet - 4 gallons per flush Shower - 20 gallons per use Overall - 55 gal/person/day
It’s mostly water!
There are about 500 parts of waste in every 1 million parts of wastewater; that’s500 ppm.
It’s like trying to find this class at a sold out Packers game!

So what’s the problem?
P SNOT: it’s not a pretty picture!

Where does it go when you flush the toilet?
This is really not something I’ve given a lot of thought to.

Primary Treatment(solids, sedimentation)
Primary Treatment – Design

vp
The critical particle is defined as that particle will be captured prior to exiting the sedimentation tank. This particle, and all particles which settle more rapidly, will be retained.
The critical settling velocity, vc, is that of the critical particle.

Primary Treatment – Design
The design parameter for primary treatment is the surface overflow rate,
which can be shown to be equivalent to the critical settling velocity,

Secondary Treatment(biological)
Simple carbohydrates (a form of organic matter) are produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis. These are then converted to more complex carbohydrates and other forms of organic matter such as starches, fats and proteins.
The sun’s energy, captured during photosynthesis, is stored in the chemical bonds of this organic matter.
2 2 22( )CO H O OC H O
Organisms (from bacteria to humans) take up and metabolize organic matter to obtain the energy required to support life.
In secondary or biological treatment, we utilize microorganisms to remove the dissolved and small particulate organic matter which would exert an oxygen demand if it were released to the environment. The waste (actually organic matter) is simply converted into another form (microorganisms) which can then be separated from the waste stream by settling yielding a clean effluent.

Land Application
The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District provides wastewater treatment to villages towns and cities surrounding the Madison area lakes. Biosolids produced at the MMSD Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant are recycled to agricultural land as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. Biosolids recycling practices are regulated by both USEPA and Wisconsin DNR to ensure that human and animal health are protected.

Recycling
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District has been marketing its biosolids as Milorganite, a fertilizer and soil conditioner, for over 80 years. Today, 55,000 tons of Milorganite are sold annually. Milorganite is produced by place dewatered sludge cake in massive dryers with a temperature gradient of 800-1200 °F at the inlet and 180-210 °F at the outlet. This effectively inactivates viral and bacterial pathogens.
