Situations of urban-industrial wastewater treatment plants and artificial wetlands in Yozgat, problems and solutions

Treatment plants are the systems that are installed to eliminate or minimize the harmful effects of water, which is our source of life, without changing its characteristic features after being used for domestic or industrial purposes.Treatment plants are designed considering the characteristics of domestic or industrial wastewater, geological structure, topographic situation, level of development etc. factors. Failure to carry out the necessary feasibility studies in the determination of these factors may lead to problems in treatment plants in the future and may result in poor efficiency of the treatment plant.After the project stage in the treatment plants, many operational problems can be encountered due to the mistakes made during the construction phase or during operation. The problems experienced in the wastewater treatment plants in Yozgat Province were examined by the facilities, samples were taken and evaluated and solutions were examined. Within the scope of the study, the situations of 5 urban wastewater treatment plants, 5 industrial wastewater treatment plants and 30 artificial wetlands in the province were examined and the problems experienced in the operation were evaluated by taking the sample analysis results. As a result of the examinations; Although some problems were encountered in wastewater treatment plants and artificial wetlands during the operation phase, when the sample analysis results were evaluated, it was seen that the results met the discharge criteria.
