    Primary Wastewater Treatment

    Primary wastewater treatment involves the physical separation of suspended solids from wastewater using primary clarifiers. This removes around 60% of total suspended solids and reduces biochemical oxygen demand by 30%. Secondary treatment then uses biological processes like activated sludge or trickling filters to remove up to 90% of remaining organic matter. The document provides details on these primary and secondary treatment processes.

    PRIMARY

    WASTEWATER
    TREATMENT
    PRIMARY WASTEWATER TREATMENT
    Primary wastewater treatment, the second
    step in the wastewater treatment process
    beyond the preliminary treatment of a
    headworks, involves the physical separation
    of suspended solids from the wastewater
    flow using primary clarifiers. This separation
    reduces total suspended solids as well as the
    biological oxygen demand (BOD) levels and
    prepares the waste stream for the next step
    in the wastewater treatment process.
    PRIMARY WASTEWATER TREATMENT
    Within the primary clarifiers, suspended solids
    are allowed to settle. A large amount, about
    60%, of total suspended solids (TSS)are
    removed with the gravity separation that takes
    place. The biological oxygen demand (BOD) is
    also reduced by about 30% in this process.
    After the primary treatment, the wastewater
    moves on to secondary treatment where a
    biological treatment process normally takes
    place.
    SECONDARY WASTEWATER TREATMENT
    Secondary wastewater treatment is the second stage of
    wastewater treatment that takes place after the primary
    treatment process. The process consists of removing or reducing
    contaminants or growths that are left in the wastewater from the
    primary treatment process. Usually biological treatment is used
    to treat wastewater in this step because it is the most effective
    type of treatment on bacteria, or contaminant, growth.
    * Secondary treatment processes can remove up to 90
    percent of the organic matter in wastewater by using
    biological treatment processes. The two most common
    conventional methods used to achieve secondary
    treatment are attached growth processes and suspended
    growth processes.
    ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS
    Activated sludge is abiochemicalprocess for treating
    sewage and industrial wastewater that uses air (or
    oxygen) andmicroorganismsto biologically oxidize
    organic pollutants, producing a waste sludge (orfloc)
    containing the oxidized material. In general, an activated
    sludge process includes:
    An aeration tank where air (or oxygen) is injected and
    thoroughly mixed into the wastewater.
    A settling tank (usually referred to as aclarifieror "settler")
    to allow the waste sludge to settle. Part of the waste
    sludge is recycled to the aeration tank and the remaining
    waste sludge is removed for further treatment and
    ultimate disposal.

    The City of Los Angeles Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant
    is one of the largest in the United States. It serves
    approximately 9 million people by treating 460 mgd of
    wastewater.
    Built in 1949, the plant was designed to treat up to 450 mgd
    but was forced to reduce secondary treatment in the 1960s
    to 120 mgd due to limited secondary capacity. The city faced
    numerous challenges.
    With a governmental directive to cease ocean discharge of
    sludge by 1987 and provide secondary treatment to all
    wastewater by 1998, the city turned toEvoqua to make the
    necessary changes.
