Simulation Model for Using Polyethylene strips in Enhancement of Agricultural Drains Wastewater

Abstract

This study aimed to introduce the methodology used to produce a mathematical physical model simulate the results of the field experimental work done by the operation of pilot plant using the polyethylene strips as bio media reactor in stream for enhancing the agriculture wastewater. The pilot was built inside Faqous Wastewater Treatment plant held nearby Bahr El Bakar agricultural drain in El Sharqiyah Governorate, Egypt. 

The study applied several numbers of polyethylene curtain strips lines with several interval spacing that optimized the results produced from the use of 1meter interval and six lines of polyethylene strips that achieved COD removal ratio 40.80 %. The produced equation was depending on the optimum successful experimental sequence. The study also includes the discussions for different trials till producing the targeted equation and the verification for the produced equation by using results of experimental work.
