Abstract: |
Monthly reports (from June 2017 to May 2018) of twenty-one wastewater treatment plants in Sharkia were evaluated
for the following parameters: temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS),
chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrate (NO
), oil and grease (O&G) and
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) values. The first aim of this study was to estimate the main wastewater per capita pollution generation per day (PCPL) and it was found that the 90
th
3
percentile PCPL for TSS, COD, BOD, NO
and O&G
were equal to 57.42, 91.59, 59.13, 1.64 and 12.39 (g/capita/day) respectively. The second aim was to assess the
performance of the WWTPs in the governorate, by calculating of the wastewater quality index (WWQI) of each
plant and for the entire governorate, which shows that 2 WWTPs give a good performance, 9 WWTPs give a fair
performance, 9 WWTPs give a marginal performance and 1 WWTP is in bad condition, the average performance
all over the governorate is considered marginal. A simple empirical formula has been established to be used for
calculation of the WWQI based on the tested parameters using the multiple linear regression and found to be very
effective in predicting the WWQI for the WWTPs.
