Abstract
This paper evaluates the technical, economical and environmental feasibilities for the application of advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) for decentralised wastewater treatment systems. A comprehensive process selection and assessment framework for the application of AOTs in decentralised wastewater systems for water recycling and reuse purposes has been developed. In this case study, different AOTs were assessed for their suitability as retrofit to a small decentralised wastewater plant in South-East Queensland (SEQ) as an advanced wastewater treatment option. Results showed that the Hpj UV treatment process was the best AOT treatment option in terms of the technical, economic and environmental benefits, as well as in the quality of treated wastewater for non-potable reuse. This study has also provided a new insight into the future application of AOTs for decentralised wastewater treatment, given the increased awareness of environmental protection coupled with strong legislation in final wastewater discharge requirements.
