COD loads in Wastewater Treatment Plant

This Sankey diagram shows COD (chemical oxygen demand) in a waste water treatment plant that handles both municipal waste water as well as effluents from a chemical plant.

It was generated using the software package STOAT, which allows for dynamic simulation of wastewater treatment plants. Image with kind permission of Berlin-based EnviaTec GmbH.

The Sankey diagram does not show any flow quantities explicitly, and the values seem to be clustered into five or six fixed arrow magnitudes. The flows have a flat arrow base, and a rounded arrow head, which is uncommon, but still let’s you determine the flow direction. Process clipart icons overlay the nodes, where flows branch off or merge.

I have added the STOAT model to the list of software tools with Sankey drawing capabilities.

    Sewage flows from the original area into the septic tank where the heavier solids settle to the bottom forming a sludge deposit. Lighter solids, such as grease, float to the top and form a scum layer. The liquid flows from the septic tank into an absorption system where it soaks into the soil. This process provides treatment of the sewage by gravity settling and skimming, biological decomposition and soil filtration. Proper functioning of an individual sewerage system depends on adequate design, proper construction, careful use and maintenance.

    Today, we need science-based solutions reflecting expertise in environmental engineering, technology, regulatory issues, design and project management.

    The best approach is to find a single source for these services. This streamlines the work process, maximizes your performance, extends your budget furthest and ensures greater accountability

    Resins are also available to remove carbonate, bi-carbonate and sulphate ions which are absorbed and hydroxyl ions released from the resin. Both types of resin may be provided in a single water softener.
