SUCO Zeit Bay

We specialize in a comprehensive range of waste water treatment solutions to ensure efficient and environmentally friendly processes. Here is a summary of the various stages and types of treatment we employed in Zeit Bay :

  1. Mechanical, Physical, Electrical, Chemical, and Biological Treatment: Our waste water treatment process involves a combination of mechanical, physical, electrical, chemical, and biological treatments. These stages work synergistically to remove contaminants and ensure the purification of the water.
  2. Compact Separation Unit (CSU) : Our compact separation unit serves as the initial stage of the treatment process. It utilizes physical and mechanical mechanisms to separate oil and grease from the water. Through this process, a significant reduction in BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) levels is achieved.
  3. De-Nitrifier: The de-nitrifier is a crucial component of our biological treatment stage. It employs a mix of microorganisms to break down nitrates into environmentally friendly compounds. By providing a low-oxygen environment and supplementing nutrients, the de-nitrifier efficiently reduces nitrite and organic compounds.
  4. Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Unit: Our DAF unit utilizes aeration and flotation to remove suspended solids from the waste water. By saturating the water with air bubbles, the heavier particles rise to the surface, allowing for their easy removal. Our DAF unit is carefully designed to ensure optimal efficiency.
5. Heavy Metal Precipitation: To address heavy metal contamination, we employ a precipitation process that converts soluble metal compounds into insoluble suspended ions. By adding specific sorbents and utilizing electrolysis, the heavy metal ions bond with the reactants and settle as sludge, which is then removed from the water.
6. Fixed Biofilm Bed Reactors (FBBRs): Our FBBRs serve as the secondary stage of biological treatment. In these reactors, microorganisms convert ammonia and other nitrogen compounds to nitrates and nitrites. Our FBBRs are designed with high-quality materials and increased surface area to maximize the growth and efficiency of microorganisms.

7. Clarifiers: Clarifiers play a vital role in the sedimentation and clarification process. These large tanks facilitate the settling of particles through gravity, allowing for the removal of sludge from the surface. We incorporate lamella tubes and use flocculants and coagulants to enhance the clarification process.

8. Ultrafiltration: Ultrafiltration, a form of membrane filtration, further purifies the water by retaining suspended solids and high molecular weight solutes while allowing water and low molecular weight solutes to pass through. Our ultrafiltration modules effectively filter macro molecules to ensure clean water output.

Our project involves the treatment of influent wastewater to meet stringent effluent standards set by Egyptian Environmental Law 4/1994. The influent wastewater characteristics include a flow rate of 2,500 m³ per day, pH ranging from 4.88 to 7.5, yellow color, and various pollutant concentrations.

The influent wastewater contains high levels of contaminants, including COD (5394 mg/l), BOD (2676 mg/l), TSS (56-456 mg/l), oil and grease (12-57 mg/l), as well as heavy metals such as lead (1.422 mg/l), cadmium (0.098 mg/l), chromium (0.064 mg/l), iron (33.1 mg/l), and manganese (150 mg/l).

To comply with Egyptian Environmental Law, our project guarantees the treatment process to meet the specified effluent standards. The effluent parameters to be achieved include pH (6-9), colorless appearance, COD (100 mg/l), BOD (60 mg/l), TSS (60 mg/l), oil and grease (15 mg/l), and reduced concentrations of pollutants such as lead, cadmium, chromium, iron, and manganese.

We assure compliance with all effluent standards specified in the law, except for total dissolved solids (TDS), which will be addressed separately by the client. Our proposed treatment system, including the ultrafiltration unit, covers all aspects of the offer without exclusions.

Let’s delve into the specifics of how our
state-of-the-art system addresses the influent parameters and achieves the stringent
effluent standards:

The influent wastewater processed by our advanced system contains a range of pollutants, including a daily volume of 5,000 m³, operating 24 hours per day, with an hourly flow rate of 208 m³. The wastewater has a pH level of 6.5, a gray color, and significant concentrations of contaminants, including COD (2217 mg/l), BOD (882 mg/l), TSS (24 mg/l), oil and grease (55 mg/l), nitrogen (total) (140.5 mg/l), ammonia as nitrogen (140.5 mg/l), phenols (4 mg/l), sulfide (85.5 mg/l), and manganese (1.5 mg/l).

To meet the stringent effluent standards, our cutting-edge project guarantees outstanding treatment performance. The effluent parameters to be achieved include maintaining a pH range of 6 to 9, ensuring a colorless appearance, reducing COD concentrations to 100 mg/l, achieving a BOD level of 60 mg/l, minimizing TSS to 60 mg/l, and limiting oil and grease content to 15 mg/l. Furthermore, our system ensures a significant reduction in the concentrations of pollutants such as nitrogen (total), ammonia as nitrogen, phenols, sulfide, nickel, and manganese.

With our revolutionary wastewater treatment solution, we provide an unmatched and reliable method of transforming heavily contaminated influent wastewater into compliant effluent that surpasses the most stringent environmental regulations.
