Environmental Impact Assessment<br />

Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant <strong>May</strong> 20<strong>10</strong><br />

Process Advantages Disadvantages<br />

load.<br />

Sludge production more important and<br />

more difficult to treat.<br />

Modular construction and easy<br />

automation.<br />

Membrane<br />

bioreactors<br />

Very high treatment<br />

performances, also on fecal coli<br />

form.<br />

Uncertainty regarding real membrane<br />

life length and related replacement<br />

cost.<br />

No tertiary treatment required.<br />

Low sludge production.<br />

Compact process, easy to cover.<br />

Modular construction and easy<br />

automation.<br />

High energy demand (40 % higher<br />

than activated sludge).<br />

Need for regular membrane supply for<br />

replacement.<br />

Higher investment costs (50% higher<br />

activated sludge).<br />

High O&M costs<br />

The selected wastewater treatment biological process is Activated sludge and is designed<br />

for average daily flow of 26,656 m3/day in the first phase and 44,948 m3/day for the<br />

second phase, consisting of the following process units:<br />

• inlet works and flow metering<br />

• screening<br />

• grit and grease removal<br />

• biological treatment with nitrification denitrification process<br />

• final sedimentation<br />

• tertiary treatment by sand filtration and UV disinfection<br />

• outlet works with treated effluent pumping and flow metering.<br />

The sludge treatment includes the following steps:<br />

• gravity thickening for concentration of biological excess sludge<br />

• natural dewatering in drying beds<br />

• stabilization by composting.<br />

4.2.3.1. Pretreatment<br />

Inlet works and flow metering:<br />

Wastewater is conveyed to KY WWTP by two separate trunk lines: the first one comes<br />

from PS 8 and conveys wastewater from Khan Younis City to the treatment plant; the<br />

second one comes from the pumping station proposed in Khirbat Khuza’a and conveys<br />

effluent from the Eastern Villages to the treatment plant. Design of both of these<br />

pumping stations takes into account required head to assure gravity flow through the KY<br />

WWTP from inlet structure downstream secondary clarifiers. No additional lifting station<br />

is therefore needed at the KY WWTP inlet.<br />
