Dr. Galip SEÇKINIn this study, municipal wastewater pollution inventory analysis ofKahramanmaraş City was introduced. Wastewater characteristics were alsodetermined. In addition to these, for the purpose of exhibit the sedimentationcharacteristics of municipal wastewaters of Kahramanmaraş City, laboratory scaleexperiments has been carried out. Relevant literature survey was carried out andappropriate treatment alternatives were evaluated.The pollutant concentrations of wastewaters were determined as 210 mg/l SS,385 mg/l COD, 253 mg/l BOD5, 18 mg/l TKN and 4,1 mg/l Total Phosphorus.Moreover the 10.30, 17.56, 23.82 and 30.51 % removal rate were obtained in thesedimentation experiments at 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes retention time respectively.The results evaluated particularly and activated sludge system has beenchoosen as a proper treatment system because of the favorable characteristics ofwastewaters and climatic, economic, geological properties of the Kahramanmaraşregion.Key Words :Domestic Wastewater, Wastewater Treatment, Activated SludgeII
