- TEST SYSTEM
Samples were collected from three STPs located in Kyoto (STP-1 and STP-2) and Shiga (STP-3) prefectures, Japan. The STPs were selected for their differences in secondary and tertiary treatment technologies (Table 2). Primary treatment at all STPs consists of a mechanical screen, a grit removal tank, and a primary clarifier. STP-1 has two secondary treatment units in parallel; both units perform anoxic–oxic–anoxic–oxic (AOAO)-based biological nutrient removal. The main difference between them is the source of oxygen in the aeration tank: ambient air in unit I and pure oxygen in unit II. Units I and II are followed by ozonation as a tertiary treatment. STP-2 uses an extended-aeration-based CAS system for secondary treatment. STP-3 uses three parallel-operated secondary treatment processes, comprising CAS, AOAO, and anaerobic–anoxic–oxic (A2O) processes, but for this study we selected only A2O process.
SAMPLING
Time proportional composite samples were collected from all STPs on February 4, 2009 and November 18, 2009, the latter after the announcement of a pandemic swine flu outbreak. We collected 24-h composite samples (1 L) from primary influent, primary effluent,secondary effluent, and tertiary effluent. Ascorbic acid (1 g/L) was added to acidify the samples, and quenching chlorine and/or ozone. All samples were filtered (GF/B) as soon as possible and the filtrates were subjected to solid-phase extraction immediately or were kept at -20 °C in half-filled amber glass bottles in the horizontal position until extraction within 3 d. After filtration, sodium chloride (1 g/L) was added and the sample pH was adjusted to 4 with sulfuric acid as needed.
