QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF URBAN WASTEWATER IN ORDER TO ASSESS ITS PERFORMANCE

The efficiency of the Ilam wastewater treatment plant was evaluated over time in this study. Samples of effluent were taken on a regular basis to measure pollution indicators such as temperature, Coliforms, turbidity, pH, COD, BOD, Cl-, TSS, TDS, and DO. The results of this study show that measured values of operating parameters such as pH, BOD, COD, NTU, and DO (with averages of 8.34, 66.45, 106.4, 80.15, 7.4 mg/l) are consistent with EPA standards in the field of re-use for agricultural purposes and irrigating. However, Chloride parameters and TSS (with averages of 60.7 and 455.7 mg/l) do not comply. Furthermore, the COD, BOD, TSS, and Chloride parameter analysis of effluent discharged into surface water does not meet EPA criteria. BOD, COD, and TSS should all be reduced as a necessary step in the process.
