Providing Appropriate Solutions for Treatment and Sewage of Wastewaters in Cargo Terminals of Shorelines: An Emphasis on Terminal Bandar ()
ABSTRACT
Low
volume of produced wastewater and specific regional, environmental and economic
condition in small communities determines the methods of treatment of sewage in
such communities including shorelines of Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Imam Khomeini
Harbor and Chabahar Harbor. Ineffective methods of treating and sewing
wastewater in aforesaid terminals as well as limitations of methods of
wastewater treatment such as high level of underground waters doubled the
necessity of considering alternative methods. In this paper, investigation of
current conditions was performed through field observations and data collection
regarding wastewater production in terminals and determination of qualitative
specifications using sampling and carrying out pH, TSS, COD, BOD and
temperature tests from inlet to outlet of available sewage system of
abovementioned terminals and comparison with environmental organization
standards corresponding to wastewater sewage and it was found out that
conditions of available systems of wastewater treatment are not suitable. In this
regard, modifying solutions for the sake of improving performance of systems of
wastewater treatment of terminals is presented in this research. Finally, for
wastewater treatment system of Bandar Abbas terminal, if there is no limitation
for allocating lands, it is recommended to use artificial canebrake system with
underground flow.
