Studies on MUST (Medical Unit,Self-Contained,Transportable) Field Hospital Wastewater Treatment.

摘要

The report investigates the applicability of using polyelectrolyte-aided-carbon coagulation as a pretreatment in combination with a high-recovery reverse osmosis (RO) system to treat a synthetically prepared Medical Unit,Self-Contained,Transportable (MUST) hospital wastewater with variable characteristics. The five-source hospital waste contained of X-ray,operating room,laboratory,shower,kitchen waters. A 10,000-gpd pilot plant was tested on a 200-hour basis, 100consecutive hours per run. The system involved polyelectrolyte-aided-carbon coagulation,upflow clarification,diatomaceous earth filtration,and demineralization by spiral-wound RO. The MUST wastewater was adequately treated by this process.
