Abstract

In the present study's course; the reduction of wastewater effluents (by recycling as raw water supplies, classifying and arrangement between the incoming wastewaters), the treatment of the wastewater effluents (by evaporation and aeration) and the using of the treated effluents for irrigation purposes, has led to, the corresponding operating time of the waste water treatment unit (WWTU), the amount of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, ferric chloride (FeCl3) and polyelectrolyte and the discharged treated wastewater to the River Nile are reduced which has a positive impact on the environment through: Reduction of the amount of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) discharged to the River Nile, the electrical energy consumed which reduces the pollution associated with its production and the air pollution with SOx and mercury (Hg) dissolution due to the reduction of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide used, in addition, Egyptian Environmental Legal Wastewater discharge Regulations are obeyed.
