Improving Wastewater Treatment Efficiency in a Shopping Mall


Overview

A bustling shopping mall, frequented by a large number of visitors daily, faced challenges with its wastewater treatment plant (STP). The high volume of wastewater generated, coupled with the presence of urinals and low BOD levels, posed significant hurdles in achieving optimal treatment efficiency. To address these issues, the mall management turned to BioReme BOD Booster for a comprehensive solution.

Challenges


High Volume of Wastewater : The shopping mall's STP struggled to cope with the substantial volume of wastewater generated daily, leading to overloading and decreased treatment efficiency.

Presence of Urinals : Urinals in the mall's restroom facilities contributed to high flow rates of low-BOD wastewater, exacerbating the imbalance in BOD levels and hindering biological degradation processes.

Low BOD Levels : The wastewater exhibited low BOD concentrations, making it challenging to sustain microbial activity and achieve effective organic pollutant removal.

Solution

BioReme BOD Booster was introduced into the shopping mall's STP to address the identified challenges and enhance treatment efficiency.

Implementation

Dosage Optimization : BioReme BOD Booster was dosed into the influent stream of the STP at an optimized rate, ensuring uniform distribution and maximum effectiveness.

Monitoring and Adjustment : Continuous monitoring of treatment performance and periodic adjustments to the dosage ensured optimal results and sustained improvement over time.
