Design of WWTP at locality with extreme demands on quality of treated wastewater
Krupica, Radek ; Vachovec, Roman (referee) ; Hlavínek, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the wastewater treatment technologies by means of which high quality of the treated wastewater is attained, especially with regard to removing nutrients. The introduction of the thesis contains, among others, descriptions of the reserves in the Czech Republic where it is extremely important to insist on the highest quality of the discharged wastewaters. Then follows a summary of the quality requirements on the discharged wastewaters as stipulated in the legislation. Furthermore, I analyse the impact of the nutrients – nitrogen and phosphorus – on the environment and the principles of their removal from the wastewaters. In the next section I concentrate on the technological processes by means of which the required quality of the wastewater is achieved. The conclusion includes a list of technologies used as the tertiary wastewater treatments with emphasis on membrane technologies. The second part of my thesis is a study of a project of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with membrane technology for the villages of Sloup and Šošůvka located within the protected landscape area of Moravian Karst.

Effect of emergent micropolutants on the denitrification activity of activated sludge
Mosná, Silvia ; Stříteský, Luboš (referee) ; Hrich, Karel (advisor)
Diploma thesis Effect of emergent micropolutants on the denitrification process through activated sludge is focused on three specific substances. The substances under investigation are atrazine, terbutylazine and sulfametaxazole. Atrazine and terbutylazine are pesticides, particularly herbicides. Sulfametaxazole was chosen as a common antibiotic. The thesis is summarized into 10 chapters and conclusion. The work consists essentially of theoretical and practical part. Part of the theoretical part of the thesis is legislation that deals with the matters of the problem with micropolutants. The next chapter is an introduction to the issue, where we want to familiarize the reader with the current situation. There are also chapters on emergent micropolutants, denitrification and investigated substances. If we look at the practical part, there are chapters on sampling, evaluation of BATCH tests and evaluation of inhibition tests. There are also chapters on BATCH tests and respiratory inhibition test, which describe procedures of how we performed this test. Laboratory test reports are included in the Annex.

Microfauna of the activated silt from the biological sewage disposal plant in Kroměříž region.
Hrudíková, Radka ; Illková, Kateřina (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with the description and evaluation of micro fauna of activated sludge biological sewage waste water in Kromeriz region. Furthermore, morphological description and evaluation of sludge flocs. The thesis describes the types of biota (biocenosis), which may occur in the activation tanks. There are also mentioned other incidental methods of sewage treatment such as mechanical, chemical and physicochemical methods. The experimental section describes the experiment procedure, apparatus and methods use for assessment of activated sludge. In the results the data are processed into the synoptic charts and the accompanying tables. At the end the results are evaluated.

Control methods for wastewater pH
Picka, Marek ; Vondra, Marek (referee) ; Miklas, Václav (advisor)
The bachelor thesis initially deals with the process of wastewater treatment with a focus on measurement, pH control and related issues. The pH value is an important parameter in wastewater treatment, which influences physical, chemical and biological processes as well as digestate treatment processes. This paper focuses on the process of thickening of digestate from a biogas plant by evaporation, which is normally associated with the leakage of volatile ammonia into the distillate. In order to eliminate this phenomenon, four methods of pH reduction were compared, which leads to the conversion of nitrogen from the volatile undesirable form 3 to the desirable form + 4 or 3 , which does not evaporate into the distillate during the evaporation process but remains in the concentrate, thus yielding a high quality fertilizer. Of the 4 methods discussed, the nitrification method appears to be the best in terms of the quality of the fertilizer output, but its disadvantage is the long retention time. From the point of view of flue gas utilization, lowering the pH by bubbling 2 and acidification with acid is a suitable method. For cases where speed and low acquisition costs are important, pH reduction with acid is preferable, unless high operating costs are a problem. In order to assess the correct method of pH reduction for a particular biogas plant, a techno-economic evaluation and consideration of other operational constraints is required and will be the subject of future work.

Water utilization in ZOO Brno
Hejsková Pekárková, Marie ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (referee) ; Kotlík, Josef (advisor)
Master's thesis deals with water utilization in exposition of arctic wolf and canadian beaver in ZOO Brno. Theoretical part describes water utilization in ZOO and processes in water connected with nutrient enriching and uprising of water bloom. Practical part focuses on monitoring water quality in April and May 2012 and concept to solute water filtration in ponds.

Activated sludge inhibited by pesticides
Pokluda, Michal ; Pavlíková, Marcela (referee) ; Hrich, Karel (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on researching the inhibitory effects of selected pesticide substances on activated sludge present in wastewater treatment plants. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The first part provides a theoretical explanation of pesticides, their presence in water, their basic classification, and the legislation addressing the issue of pesticide substances in water. The thesis also lists and describes methods for removing pesticides from water. Furthermore, the content of the theoretical part touches upon the topic of the Modřice wastewater treatment plant, primarily describing its treatment process. The practical part of the thesis involves laboratory research on the oxygen consumption rate of microorganisms in activated sludge in the presence of pesticides toxic to these organisms. The testing methodology is based on the standard ČSN EN ISO 8192.
