MIKROFLOCK - Upgrading municipal sewage<br />

treatment plants with flocculation - filtration<br />

units by the use of activated carbon<br />

By addition of activated carbon, micropollutants can<br />

be reduced to a certain degree from the liquid phase<br />

at sewage plants. Herewith, the inert COD in the<br />

effluent of the sewage plant may be significantly<br />

reduced. Many of the larger sewage plants in<br />

Northrhine-Westfalia are equipped with final filtration<br />

units, which may be used for this purpose: the<br />

construction already exists, the filter inflow shows<br />

no or only less particulate matter and an emission of<br />

loaded activated carbon into the receiving water is<br />

reliably avoided. In this R+D-project different<br />

technological approaches shall be investigated on their<br />

technical, operational and economical realisation in full<br />

scale at existing filter units in Northrhine-Westfalia.<br />

At Buchenhofen STP the dosing of powder activated<br />

carbon (PAK) into the submerge of one filter chamber<br />

and at Düren-Merken STP a change of the existing<br />

filter material against granular activated carbon (GAK)<br />

will be investigated. In addition, the dosage of PAK into<br />

the effluent of the final settling tank with a technical<br />

carbon separation prior to the filtration unit will be<br />

tested in laboratory and/or pilot scale. A technical<br />

scale test of this approach is considered as an option<br />

for an on-going R+D-project. The investigations are<br />

completed by an assessment of different activated<br />

carbons prior to the testing. For constructional details<br />

two consultancies participate in the project. The results<br />

will be summarised in a praxis-orientated report. The<br />

report will also include an assessment for an implementation<br />

of the investigated approaches at other sewage<br />

plants with filtration units in Northrhine-Westfalia.<br />
