ABSTRACT

This Research work was carried out to Compare Treated and Untreated Wastewater samples from Wupa Sewage Treatment Plant Idu Research and Industrial Layout Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Samples were collected from the period of June to August 2017. The samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters using standard analytical procedures. Results obtained in the study revealed that the Untreated wastewater and treated wastewater samples had the following values: the pH values for all the untreated wastewater sample ranged between 7.33-7.56 while that of treated wastewater sample ranged between 7.23-7.31, temperature; 26.60-27.20oC, 26.00-26.90 oC, electrical conductivity; 277.00-349.00 ?S/cm, 244.00-307.00 ?S/cm, turbidity; 188.00-435.00 NTU; 6.00-9.10 NTU, total dissolved solids; 162.00-180.00 mg/l, 132.00-158.00 mg/l, total suspended solids; 134.50-160.00 mg/l, 7.80-14.50 mg/l, total solids; 298.00-325.00 mg/l, 140.80-169.60 mg/l, dissolved oxygen; 2.00-3.60 mg/l, 6.00-6.90 mg/l, biochemical oxygen demand; 120.00-140.00 mg/l, 134.50-160.00 mg/l, chemical oxygen demand; 160.00-290.00 mg/l, 7.00-10.00 mg/l and total alkalinity; 45.80-68.00 mg/l, 40.00-55.00 mg/l for untreated and treated waste waters respectively. Thus the Wupa Sewage Treatment Plant Idu Research and Industrial Layout Abuja had a significant role in the control of pollution loads of wastewater and its quite effective.
