i visited a waste water treatment plant in a geology class once. we walked up to one of those massive round tanks that was empty and there was water making a tiny pond in the very bottom with ducks hanging out by it. i was watching the ducks and thankfully noticed that one was a little black kitten! i went into rescue mode, told my instructor and the class and we flagged down some employees, i was terrified they wouldn't rescue him because they couldn't get down there right away and my class had to leave, but i'd given them my number and vowed to drive all the way back there after they got the kitten out and they did. he had fallen aaaaaall the way down into the thing but amazingly had no injuries. he was soggy and sad and covered in duck weed from the little pond, that's what we ended up naming him, Duckweed. i fostered him for a week and he went to a super good home.

I’m a water and wastewater treatment engineer and you guys did a great job summarizing how primary treatment works! At any treatment plant in addition to this you’ll find other processes using fermentation, phosphorus absorbing bacteria, and sequences of reactors cultivating aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic bacteria in precise arrangements to produce clean water.

@revenevan11

4 жыл бұрын

Wow, I knew that we had to remove phosphorus to prevent algae blooms and other issues an excess of it can cause (where I live the lake is often unsafe due to farm fertilizer runoff anyways, since that escapes the treatment system), but I guess it never occurred to me that we used bacteria for that step too! Makes sense though, instead of having to buy and add some chemical to precipitate the phosphorus out or whatever, the bacteria can just be renewably farmed in the reactor for that step of purification, right? It also never ceases to amaze me how the chemistry of life, tuned over evolutionary time scales, is so much more effective in cleaning, processing, and even energy production and extraction than anything our artificial chemistry or inorganic technology can currently achieve.

@kevinbrown6285

4 жыл бұрын

revenevan11 Inorganic phosphorus removal is far less efficient than biological removal. Under certain conditions some species will absorb large amounts of phosphorus so the phosphorus step is all about encouraging those conditions then settling out the heavier bacteria.

Phoslock is a good thing for phosphate and phosphorous absorption. Lanthanum binds to the phosphate and doesn’t dissociate. I believe its very expensive though.

I remember learning about the wastewater cycle in middles school, leading up to a class trip to a wastewater plant. The first step is big vats where microorganisms break down solids and anything else they can. The vats rare constantly roiling and give off humidity because they are highly aerated and heated slightly to maintain the best environment possible. A few steps later are towers where anaerobic organisms reside as water filters down through them.

Did the first steps giving off all that humidity smell at all? I'd imagine that the water as it first arrives to the plant would smell unbearably bad!

It didn’t that bad, but I think it was giving a lot of CO2 or something since I got dizzy when we were on the catwalks over them.

The two effects kind compounded each other though, so I was glad to move on to the next part.

Waste water treatment is evaluated by the EPA by measuring the Biological oxygen demand (BOD) of the water that is returned to the environment. You take clean water, add a certain amount of food media, then measure the oxygen level. Then you add a small amount of the treatment water, incubate it for 2-3 days and retest the oxygen level. Back calculate any dilutions and each treatment facility is required to keep their values within a certain range based on where they are dumping the waste. Unfortunately they do not have great methods for punishing facilities that fail, they typically get a slap on the wrist or a small fine.

Video is interesting and beautiful as always but I also expected an explanation of how do they clean toxines and chemicals, such things that are supposed to be harmful even to them
