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 />

As a result of Prof. Menzel being appointed part of the<br />
expert-committees<br />
- Abscheider <strong>und</strong> Mineralölhaltiges Abwasser -A-(428)<br />
