Estimation of the qualitative composition of wastewater at CHP-plant no. 16 in Moscow

Summary

The problem of the pollution of wastewater generated at Moscow CHP-plant no. 16 and the effluent discharged into the Moskva River is considered. Increased focus is on the wastewater composition and treatment effectiveness. The main sources of pollution are described, including wash water, wastes from chemical washing, and wastewater from the water treatment facilities. Particular attention is paid to heavy metals and oil products that significantly deteriorate the wastewater quality. An important aspect is the need for wastewater monitoring and analysis to control the pollution and estimate effectiveness of the treatment facilities. The research methods include organoleptic evaluation and special photometric and titrimetric methods that provide for the precise specification of the pollution composition. The results showed that wastewater from CHP-plant no. 16 contained exceeded maximum permissible concentrations of oil products and iron which confirms the need to improve the treatment systems. The importance of monitoring wastewater at heat and power plants is emphasized since it is a significant source of the environmental pollution.
