BEST - Better efficiency for sewage treatment

WP2 ADDRESSING THE STATE OF THE ART: MANAGEMENT AND TREATAMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WWTs in the BSR (Leader RTU, involved all)

BEST Project

Assessing the current situation: Management and treatment of industrial waste watersin BSR – the goal is to evaluate “baseline” for:

1. main problematic pollutants discharged from different industrial sources;

2. compare legislation and directives in project partner countries,

3. review of currently used technologies and model of cooperation between industry andkey stakeholders.

The aim of this work is to determine which kind of changes and resources would beneeded to improve management of industrial effluents.

Result of the WP2

Feasibility report for identified solutions for management of industrial effluents to reduce nutrient removal:

BEST Project

(i) overall description of existing solutions for nutrient andhazardous substances (HS - leader TUT) removal;

(ii) main pollutants in BEST project partner countries;

(iii) comparison of legalisation in different countries andmanagement schemes.

Structure of the questionnaireBEST Project

Please describe, how theindustrial wastewater treatment isregulated (if at all) beforedischarge to public sewagenetwork?

Is there a legislation at all thatregulates industrial wastewatertreatment before discharge to publicsewage network?

YES NO

Based on internationallevel (e.g.EU directives)?

Based on national level?Based on municipal / locallevel?

YES NO

20

Structure of the questionnaireBEST Project

Please describe whichlegislation acts(references), what arethe requirements,limitations?

What industries do you have related toindustrial wastewater treatment beforedischarge to public sewage network? Howmany (each industry separately)?

Which institution isresponsible forcontrolling ofcompliance withlegislation? Pleasedescribe hierarchy ifthere is more than one.

What is a content of untreated industrialwastewater (are the data comparable withdata given in handbooks?) and whichtechnology of industrial wastewatertreatment is most common / advantageous(operational costs) for every industry listedabove?

Expected results after filling thisquestionnaire.

21

Structure of the questionnaireBEST Project

Comparison of legislative acts andrequirements with substantiations. Thiswill help to find out which model ismutually beneficial for industry andwater companies.

Comparison of content of untreatedindustrial wastewater in fact with contentreflected in handbooks. This will allow toverify that handbook information is correctenough or shall be corrected accordingly.

Comparison of industrial wastewatertreatment methods for every industry beforedischarging to public sewer network. This willhelp to understand the efficiency of thetreatment method, and are the requirementsfulfilled. Detecting of the places of improvingthe technologies.. The new guidelines forindustry planning can be created.

IMPORTANT: questionnaire shall be filled by one main partner per country to ensure the quality of the data!
