Waste (WS) Sewage Disposal Wastewater Treatment System of Walailak UniversityThe wastewater treatment system at Walailak University receives wastewater from various buildings and facilities across the campus. The system is designed to efficiently manage and treat wastewater while supporting educational initiatives and promoting sustainability. It has a maximum capacity of 4,000 cubic meters per day and primarily employs biological treatment methods, particularly an aeration process using aerobic bacteria to decompose organic matter.After the biological treatment, the water undergoes tertiary treatment, which includes chlorine disinfection to remove remaining contaminants, bacteria, and microorganisms. This process ensures that the treated water meets quality standards and is safe according to regulatory requirements.The treated water can then be reused for various purposes, such as vehicle washing, street cleaning, irrigation, and landscaping, supporting the university’s sustainable water…
