Yimei：Integrated Wastewater Treatment Plant Successfully Shipped to the UAE

The destination of this shipment is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where Yimei has successfully completed several integrated wastewater treatment projects. With experience in providing wastewater treatment equipment and integrated wastewater treatment solutions, Yimei serves overseas customers with different project requirements, treatment capacities, and wastewater characteristics.

Project Background

Municipal wastewater treatment plays an important role in protecting water resources and maintaining a healthy environment. This project is designed to treat municipal wastewater at a capacity of 34,870 gallons per day (GPD), mainly collected from residential and public buildings. To meet the project's wastewater treatment requirements, Yimei provides an integrated wastewater treatment solution featuring a dissolved air flotation (DAF) system and a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) for suitable pollutant removal and biological treatment. The treatment process and equipment configuration are selected according to the wastewater characteristics, flow rate, and required effluent quality to support reliable operation and compliance with applicable discharge standards.

The dissolved air flotation equipment and the MBBR biological treatment system supplied have the following basic characteristics:

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Equipment
Remove suspended solids
Effective pre-treatment
Compact and reasonable layout
Solid-liquid separation

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) Biological Treatment
Removal of organic pollutants
Flexible system configuration
Strong ability to withstand load fluctuations
Compact biological treatment

The common process of municipal wastewater treatment

Municipal wastewater treatment usually combines physical separation, biological treatment and end-stage treatment processes to reduce pollutant concentrations and meet the required effluent discharge standards. For example, the design standard for this case is that the treated effluent complies with the specified Agiman discharge standards: pH value 6.0 - 9.0, BOD less than 350 milligrams per liter, COD less than 805 milligrams per liter, TSS less than 400 milligrams per liter, oil and grease less than 50 milligrams per liter; excluding the TDS range.

The municipal wastewater treatment process usually includes the following steps:
Screening treatment: Remove large solids, garbage and other coarse impurities from the incoming water.
Adjustment treatment: Balance the fluctuations in sewage flow and pollutant concentration to provide relatively stable incoming water conditions for subsequent treatment.
Air flotation (DAF): Depending on the characteristics of the wastewater, adopt the air flotation process to remove suspended solids, oils and other floatable pollutants.
Biological treatment: Depending on the treatment requirements, choose a moving bed biofilm reactor, anoxic/aerobic process or membrane bioreactor to reduce biodegradable organic pollutants and, when necessary, assist in the removal of nitrogen pollutants.
Solid-liquid separation: Remove suspended solids from the treated water through sedimentation tanks or membrane separation units according to the selected process.
Disinfection treatment: Depending on the applicable discharge standards or reuse requirements, disinfection is carried out when necessary.
Sludge treatment: Collect and treat the sludge generated during the wastewater treatment process.

Not all municipal wastewater treatment plants need to adopt all of the above treatment stages. Yimei can select and integrate appropriate wastewater treatment units based on specific project conditions and effluent quality targets.

Application scenarios of the integrated wastewater treatment system in the United Arab Emirates

The integrated wastewater treatment system can be applied in various scenarios. For each application project, the selection of the integrated wastewater treatment plant should consider 5 basic requirements: daily wastewater treatment volume, influent pollutant concentration, effluent discharge standards, available installation space, and long-term operation cost. These factors help determine the appropriate equipment configuration and wastewater treatment process.

Wastewater treatment for construction sites and worker camps
Temporary worker camps and remote development projects may be far from municipal sewage pipelines. The integrated wastewater treatment system can be used to treat domestic wastewater. It adopts modular or containerized design, which is convenient for transportation, on-site installation, and later expansion.

Hotels, resorts and residential communities
Integrated wastewater treatment equipment can be utilized to treat wastewater. After appropriate treatment and disinfection, the effluent can be used for non-drinking purposes such as landscape irrigation according to local standards and specific uses, reducing dependence on freshwater resources.
Industrial parks and factory wastewater treatment
The integrated industrial wastewater treatment system can be combined according to water quality, flow rate and discharge requirements to treat wastewater generated by factories.

Wastewater reuse and landscape greening
The United Arab Emirates attaches great importance to the resource utilization of treated wastewater. The wastewater treatment and reuse project in Dubai has used recycled water for urban greening and landscape irrigation.
