Popis: Nowadays, in spite of the high treatment capacity in the Netherlands, problems relating to the treatment of municipal waste water are still not completely solved. They are related to stricter effluent requirements, environmental nuisance, sludge disposal and the costs of waste water purification. A research programme entitled “Future Treatment Techniques for Municipal Waste Water” or briefly “RWZI 2000” is being carried out to develop and evaluate potential treatment techniques in different stages of development. These techniques must result in a better performance from the point of view of environmental protection and/or lower annual treatment costs than the technology available at present. In the paper a description is given of the studies carried out and the results obtained will be presented with respect to the problems occurring in the treatment of municipal waste water.
