Exploration of the importance of tertiary treatment in domestic wastewater treatment

This thesis focuses on the essential role of tertiary treatment techniques. It delves into three specific tertiary treatments, which are named Membrane Filtration, Chlorination, and Photo-Fenton, and provides a detailed examination of each techniques process, advantages, and disadvantages. The study on Membrane Filtration outlines its effectiveness in eliminating pathogens and microorganisms and sheds light on cost and maintenance issues. Although chlorination is one of the most favored disinfection methods. It also has its disadvantages such as potential health risks and environmental impact. Considering Photo-Fenton as an environmentally favourable method, the study notes the dependence on sunlight availability and required optimization as limitations. This research heightens our understanding of these treatments, thus emphasizing their role in future water safety, provided advancements are made to enhance efficiency and mitigate limitations.
