Treatment of Hard-to-degrade Wastewater

Hard-to-degrade wastewater often contains a variety of complex organic and inorganic compounds, such as aromatic compounds, heterocyclic compounds, and heavy metal ions. Some organic compounds, like phenols and anilines, are highly toxic. These characteristics result in poor biodegradability, meaning that traditional biological treatment methods struggle to effectively degrade the contaminants.

The organic compounds in such wastewater have stable structures that are resistant to microbial breakdown. For example, wastewater containing halogenated organic compounds has increased chemical stability due to the presence of halogen atoms, making these compounds even more challenging to biologically degrade. This resistance necessitates the use of advanced treatment technologies beyond conventional biological methods to address the complexity and toxicity of the pollutants.

Technological advantages

Pretreatment: The purpose of pretreatment is to reduce pollutant concentrations, balance water quality, break open chemical bonds, remove toxicity, and improve the biodegradability of the wastewater. This initial step is crucial for optimizing the performance of subsequent biological treatment processes, ensuring they operate more effectively.

Biological Treatment SystemThe pretreatment system reduces the operational load on the biological treatment system, resulting in high efficiency and energy savings. It allows for precise control of the performance and operational costs of each treatment unit, ensuring effective and cost-efficient wastewater treatment.

Advanced TreatmentAfter aerobic biological treatment, the wastewater undergoes deep oxidation using appropriate catalytic oxidation technologies to further enhance its biodegradability. Following this, the remaining COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) is treated using the Biological Aerated Filter (BAF) process, ensuring that the treated wastewater meets discharge standards.
