Evaluating the Impacts of Discharging the Effluent of Al-Gabal Al-Asfar Wastewater Treatment Plant on Ismailia Canal in Egypt to Maximize Revenue and Ensure Sustainability by Marwa M Aly, Mohamed SM Zayed, Mahmoud S Salem, Mohamed K Mostafa

“…Nonetheless, the fourth scenario (reusing 1.50 million cubic meters per day) might be feasible if the efficiency of the plant is enhanced by lowering the ammonium-nitrogen concentration in the effluent. Overall, the suggested solutions can only be implemented if rigorous preventive actions and contingency plans are put into effect on-site. …”

Treatment of petrochemical wastewater with low C/N by IFFAS-ESMBR integrated composite process by ZHAO Xuan, LIU Tao, YANG Meng, QIAO Sen

“…Under the applied voltage of -1.2 V, the average growth rate of transmembrane pressure difference(TMP) of CNT-PVDF composite hollow fiber membrane was only 2.5 kPa/d, and the PN/PS of sludge on the membrane surface decreased gradually, indicating that the degree of irreversible membrane fouling was mild. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing showed that a large number of carbon and nitrogen removal functional bacteria, such as Rhodobacterales, Verrucomicrobiales, Anaerolineales and Xanthomonadales, were enriched in suspended sludge, membrane surface sludge and carrier surface sludge, which played a significant role in the degradation of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the reactor. …”
