| Abstract | This study provides the potential alternatives for reuse of treated wastewater from the Samut Prakarn Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Samut Prakarn WWTP is designed to treat domestic and industrial wastewater collected from the most densely populated areas of the province. The 127 km2 service area, representing some 12.6% of the province, covers all or parts of Muang Samut Prakarn district, Phra Pradaeng district, and Phra Samut Chedi district and includes 11 district administrative organizations. The WWTP design is based on the Extended Aeration Activated Sludge process (EAAS). The project will have the treatment capacity of 525,000 m3/day (average dry weather flow) in the year 2015. In the first few years after commissioning (2003 ), the WWTP is expected to generate the effluent flow rate of about 120,000 m3 /day. There are many types of reuse applications including agriculture, aquaculture, industrial reuse, aquifer recharge, urban reuse, potable reuse, recreation and environment. Base on the previous studies, it is recommended that the potential reuse alternatives are agricultural reuse, Industrial reuse, and groundwater recharge. This study indicated that the most suitable alternative for reuse is industrial reuse. However, each of these alternatives has particular water quality requirements and it is evident that there is a need for additional treatment process. The additional treatment process could be filtration and UV disinfection but for industrial reuse, disinfection might not be required. Other impurity limits are based on the applications and the objective. Nevertheless, there are several issues that need to be investigated such as influent water quality and volume, effluent water quality from secondary treatment, etc. The successful implementation of wastewater reuse requires careful planning; economic and financial analyses; and effective design, operation and management of water reclamation, storage and distribution facilities. |
