this author for master program in Environmental Engineering and Technology The author also thanks to her parents, sister, brother, nephew and relatives for their strong moral supports to complete this work Abstract Sanitation projects in developing countries mainly focus on toilets, neglecting other aspects of liquid waste management, such as greywater Greywater represents volumewise by far the biggest wastewater source and needs therefore to be treated and disposed or reused correctly Main problem is the lack of appropriate systems for the treatment and management of greywater on household level The decentralized approach is a new means of addressing wastewater management needs of sewered and unsewered areas in a comprehensive fashion The basic idea of that is to treat the wastewater (possibly together with refuses) on-site by means of lowcost treatment systems, and make direct use the treatment products (water, compost and biogas) This alternative can meet a sustainable wastewater management requirement and has a promising future, especially for developing country of Vietnam, where the water and sanitation issues are becoming a more and more important issue and are under new period of infrastructure development This study was conducted to determine the ability of baffled septic tank system treating greywater For determination of the four laboratory-scale baffled septic tank units, made of acrylic plastic with dimensions of 0.25 x 0.64 x 0.64 m3 (width x length x depth) The greywater supply for the systems from AIT campus It was found that the removal efficiencies of baffled septic tank systems in terms of COD, TS, TSS of greater than conventional septic tank Due to Wanasen (2002) study report that performance of baffled septic tank systems at HRT 48 hours is higher tan at HRT 24 hours then, the experiments were conducted at the HRT 48 hours Characteristics of influent wastewater, baffled septic tank performance, relationships between removal efficiency and organic loads,up -flow velocity, hydraulic retention time, ambient temperature, presence of anaerobic filter and number of baffled chambers were discussed Further, the authors describe results from experiment on real greyewater treatment by baffled septic tank that could be most feasible option for on-site wastewater treatment in residential areas of Vietnam The investigations of treatment performance indicated that a septic tank with three baffles was the best as compared to conventional, two –baffles, two-baffles with filter media septic tank.The data show that septic tank with baffled could effectively treat greywater in Vietnamese conditions, with average COD, TS and TSS removal of 65%, 57% and 90%.The decentralized schemes of wastewater management are also proposed for medium and small cities of Vietnam iii Abstract Sanitation projects in developing countries mainly focus on toilets, neglecting other aspects of liquid waste management, such as greywater

schemes of wastewater management are also proposed for medium and small cities of Vietnam iv Acknowledge Nowadays there are 571 cities and towns in Vietnam The country is under rapid urbanization and industrialization process, with positive indicators in socio-economic development However, there is an increasing problem of water pollution The water supply capacity has increased from 1.95 million m3/day in 1990 to nearly million m3 /day in late 2001 In the same period, the urban population has raised from 12 million in late 1980 to nearly 18 million in late 1999, accounting for 23.5% of the population of the whole country There is very low ratio of population served by adequate sanitation, especially in rural, peri-urban and poor urban areas Urban sewerage and drainage systems are still poor and under degradation In most of cities and towns, flood and inundation often occur in rainy season Existing sewer networks (if any) in cities have been built for surface water drainage only Mainly domestic wastewater from houses is directly discharged to the common sewerage network and then flows to the canals, lakes and ponds without any treatment In consequence, self-purification capacity of receiving water bodies is overloaded and it causes surface and ground water pollution, impacting directly to the health of community, reducing the value of environment More than ever, development of urban sewerage and drainage systems in Vietnam has become an urgent need In Vietnam, the septic tank is the most common on-site treatment facility in urban and peri-urban areas In Hanoi, there are about 10,000 septic tanks in operation for treatment of the domestic wastewater In urban centers the ratio of households equipped with septic tanks is nearly 0-80% In the rest of the city the ratio is 20-30% (Hanoi PC, 1998) Dislodging of septic tanks is not often followed There is still subsidizing form of management of public utilities including wastewater management, without or with very poor public involvement Thus, looking for the appropriate solutions for wastewater management is becoming very hot issue and is to be paid adequate attention, especially in this period of increasing urbanization, industrialization, improvement and development of water supply and sanitation facilities v Table of Contents Chapter Title Acknowledgement Abstract Table of Contents List of

the temperatures of influent are in the mesophilic range of 25-40oC which should provide the optimal operation of the system In addition, the alkalinity concentration of 3,000 to 5,000 mg/L as CaCO is needed for anaerobic process, it can be known that alkalinity concentration of influence were relatively low Anaerobic biodegradation in baffled septic tank systems could not work perfectly when it operate with this influent 4.2 Result of experimental units 4.2.1 COD removal Base on COD experimental results (see Appendix 1), it can be noticed that the highest effluent COD concentration of 74 mg/L could obtained from Septic tank with two-baffles and anaerobic media and the lowest effluent COD concentration of 38 mg/L could be obtained from Septic tank with three baffles Both these results could satisfy with the Vietnamese Standard for Domestic supply water ( see Appendix 5) 19 Table 4.2: COD removal efficiencies of experimental units Experimental unit Influent Conventional septic tank

weekly A conventional septic tank (Reactor 1) can be observed 15 mL biogas production per week A septic tank with three baffled (Reactor 2), a septic tank with baffles and a septic tank with baffles and anaerobic media can be observed that the biogas productions are 30, 28 and 32 mL for one week, respectively Table 4.6: Gas composition of experimental units Experimental unit CO (%) O (%) N (%) CH

with anaerobic media 22.40 0.92 3.17 71.47 2.01 Table 4.6 shown the gas composition of experimental units Based on the experimental results, a conventional septic tank had percentages of methane production about 52.27%, whereas three baffles, baffles and two baffles + anaerobic media were about 73.54%, 72.48% and 71.47%, respectively It is means that the baffles could obtain the best biodegradation organic matter in compare with conventional septic tank As followed by Metcalf and Eddy (2003) the COD loss in the anaerobic reactor was accounted for by the methane production and only some portion of COD removed were trapped at the sludge blanket It was obtained from Polpprasert (1996) that the methane in the composition of biogas could be range of 55-65% So the methane productions of baffled septic tank could satisfy the theoretical value 23 4.3 Discussions - The treatment efficiency for the models reached 50% and more after months of operation, after sludge layer has formed in bottom of up-flow chambers The sludge was grown naturally The growth has been accelerated from second and third month.15cm depth layer of the sludge from 40 cm-total depths of the chambers has been reached after months of operation - COD removal efficiency is 50-65% and could obtained highest efficiency from septic tank with three baffles (65%) - TS removal efficiency is 49-57% and could obtained highest efficiency from septic tank with three baffles (57%) - TSS removal efficiency is 64-90% and could obtained highest efficiency from septic tank with three baffles (90%) - With appropriate hydraulic regime (i.e proper design) septic tank with baffles chamber could increase treatment efficiency of the model, especially for COD (8%) and for TS (8%) in compare with conventional septic tank For the case of experiment, high flow rate during continuous operational regime led in washing out of suspended solids from chamber to the outlet SS removal could be improved by reducing flow rate (i.e increasing dimension of the septic tank for the same user) Batch regime (hence, with less flow rate and longer HRT) of experimental units gave much better SS removal - The anaerobic baffled reactors have more significant removal efficiency with dissolved organic matters rather than the solids - Baffled septic tank has shown positive results for greywater treatment in Vietnamese condition It could be developed further for practical implementation Results from this study could be adapted for revision of existing septic tank design standards in the country 24 25 26 Chapter Conclusions and Recommendations 5.1 Conclusions According to the experimental unit results obtain from four reactors at the same operating condition, it was found that a septic tank with three baffled (Reactor 2) should be the most promising system, because of its highest COD, TS, TSS removal efficiencies This reactor also achieved the highest biogas productions Implementation of baffled septic tank has positive results for real greywater treatment in Vietnamese condition It could be developed for practical use and included for design standard instead of under-designed and improperly operated existing septic tanks in residential areas in over the country 5.2 Recommendations It was noticed that due to the fluctuation of influent greywater coming to the system the removal under shock load should be investigated The removal efficiency of baffled septic tank systems in terms of nitrogen, total organic carbon, BOD should be further investigated According to the research, it was obtained that the scum could overflow the systems so in the future studies should be solving this problem The proper design of baffled septic tank should be further study 25 References Bachmann A.,
