Abstract The objective of our study is to recycle the industrial waste water of a industrial Complex after treatment by the bioprocess MBR (membrane bioreactor). In order to apply this bioprocess, the water quality in question was first of all studied. To characterize this industrial waste water, a series of physicochemical analysis was carried out according to standardized directives and methods. Following-up the water quality to meet the regulatory requirements with rejection of this industrial waste water, a study was done thanks to the permanently monitoring of the following relevant parameters(P): the flow, the potential of hydrogen (pH) , the total suspended solids(TSS), the turbidity (Turb), the chemical oxygen demand (COD) ,the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), the Kjeldahl total nitrogen (KTN) and ammonia (NH4+), the total phosphorus (Ptot), the fluorine (F), the oils (O), the fats (F) and the phenols (Ph ). According to collected information, it was established the sampling rates to which the quality control was done, the selected analytical methods were validated by the control charts and the analysis test number was determined by the Cochran test. The results of the quality control show that some rejected water contents are not in the Algerian standards, but, in our case, the objective is the preoccupation for a standard setting of these industrial water parameters so as to recycle it. The process adopted by MBR for waste water treatment is being studied, first in the development of the experimental characterizing of the reactor and the selected membrane. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

The eexploitation off self-monitoriing data is a management m toool for the disccharges and iss particularly effective e for indusstrial establishm ment. To doo this, we havee established sttatistical studiees: x T The distributionn of the param meters evolution, x U Under the law of distribution we determine the frequency of sampling [11, 2]. x F Finally, arrivinng to the rejectiion decision off sewage conformity.

The ssampling was done accordin ng to the normaative referencees [12, 13], buut before to disscuss the deterrmination of the fr frequency of saampling, the databanks d valuues of each parrameter were verified to seee if they follow w a normal distriibution. To do this, t the Shapirro test [14] is to t compare the critical value (Wcrit). The n experimentall observations are a ranged in ascending a orderr. The sseries of measuurement is calcculated by the following f equaation where y iss the average number n of measures: (1) mber Tn is defin ned by: The ccalculated num (2) The ddifferences di too dj are calculaated as: di =yi+1 – yi

C Conclusion
It iis concluded thhat the establisshed statisticall approach enaabled us to cleaarly demonstraate the non-com mpliance of the ddischarged watter with respecct to the regulaatory standards required. Thhis observationn was establishhed for data bankss of 2009 and in i our study (C Campaign 20111). All thhe studied parrameters conceerning the rejeected industriaal waters folloow a normal distribution d (teested by the Shapiiro and Wilk equations) e whiich helped to formulate f apprropriate statisttical approachees to determinee the actual samppling frequencyy. It hass been shown clearly c the num mber of sampless taken to achieeve, so that thee test results arre representativve, but since the flluctuations in concentrations c of pollutants are a considerable, the frequenccies are random m. The w water discharged may exceed d levels of nitrrogen pollutionn in the order of o 191.47 mg/L L of kjeldahl nitrogen n and 103m mg/L NH4+, in phosphate p pollution of 36,68 mg/L of P wiith TSS of 120,33 mg/L , whiile the discharrge standard requiired levels aree 40mg/L KTN or NH4+, 15 mg/L m of P and 40 4 mg of TSS .This type of discharged pollluted water causees and acceleraates the eutroph hication phenoomena with all their negative impact on the seawater. Studyying, by the coompliance test, the water disscharges, it apppears that thosse of 2009 werre outsized whhile those of 2010 had improvedd in quality and d were practicaally in the standdards required by environmenntal regulationns. ormity is the study we conduucted during the t Campaign 2011, althouggh the study Whicch has challengged this confo durattion was short and a we observeed clearly that the levels of discards d are nott in the standarrds. Certaainly, there is a procedure fo or recycling these waste wateers, or in the case c where theere are rejectedd flows, the resultt of non-comppliance is the im mpotence of thhe water polluutant mass disccharged into thhe coast, and this requires essenntial solutions and courageou us political deecisions to preeserve a rationnal way of lifee and biodiverrsity of our region. This first approachh will allow uss to continue thhe study in thee context of esstablishing thee biological treeatment and m in holllow fibers bunndle tension. separration of sludgee formed by a material The nnanotechnologyy offers many cost effective solutions to cllean water and the project is a considerablee stake since the reecycling of thiis water will make m it possiblle to reduce thhe impact of thhe liquid rejecttions on the ennvironment, reducce the proceduure of the polllutant paying and will carryy out an econoomy and autonomy with thhe Industrial Compplex.
