Wastewater Physicochemical Parameters from Two Treatment Plants

Raw physicochemical measurements from influent and effluent samples at WWTP1 and WWTP2. The dataset includes parameters like pH, temperature, BOD₅, COD, and dissolved oxygen, collected during a study period. It was authored by Habiba Raqraq and is licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between biochemical oxygen demand (BOD₅) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) across influent and effluent sampling points.
• Model the seasonal variation in measured parameters like pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen at two distinct wastewater treatment plants.
• Compare pollutant removal efficiency by calculating changes in nitrates, nitrites, and sulfates between influent and effluent samples.
• Assess water quality by examining correlations between electrical conductivity, turbidity, and suspended particulate matter.

Strengths

• Includes 15 distinct measured physicochemical parameters such as BOD₅, COD, and redox potential.
• Data is sourced from two specific wastewater treatment plants (WWTP1 and WWTP2), allowing for comparative analysis.
• Explicitly distinguishes between influent and effluent sampling points, enabling process efficiency studies.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 15.4 KB, indicating a limited number of samples or observations.
• Row count and specific time range for the study period are unknown, limiting understanding of temporal scope and sample size.
• Tags suggest a focus on antibiotic resistance, but the described table contains only physicochemical measurements, indicating a potential disconnect from related microbiological data.
