ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of a study on the 05 sources of nitrogen in wastewater effluents in Hue city,
including: households (n = 27), hotels (n = 12), restaurants (n = 20), hospitals (n = 4), and markets (n = 5). The
analysis of wastewater samples (n = 204) showed that the medium total nitrogen (TN) concentration in the
wastewater sources was in range of 20 to 60 mg-N/L, the highest concentration of TN was recorded at market
wastewater and the lowest was household domestic wastewater. However, the household domestic wastewater was
a major contributing source of nitrogen (921.4 kg-N/day, ~84.7%) discharges into the environment, followed by the
wastewater source of hotels (~8.3%) and restaurants (~5.9%), the two remain sources (hospitals and markets)
displayed a similar proportion (0.50.6%). It should be noted that only 35.6% of nitrogen loading (~387.14 kgN/day) was discharged to the citys drainage system. The remaining (64.4%) of the nitrogen loading was directly
discharged to surrounding surface water (~7%) and soil (~ 57.4%). Therefore, this issue would be a challenge for
the water management work in the city.

Key words: Nitrogen , wastewater, Hue city.

1. Introduction
In urban of Vietnam, drainage systems were often the common sewers that collected and controlled
domestic wastewater, rainwater, and wastewater industry. Most urban wastewater was not processed or
was treated improperly specifications before discharge [1]. This situation caused environmental pollution
of water (ponds, lakes, canals, rivers) in urban areas of our country, affecting the health and quality of life
of the community. One of the development orientations of urban drainage in Vietnam (until 2020) was
that each collects urban will have drainage system with suitable technology, sanitation [2]. Currently, the
cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Hue are actively implementing the project to
renovate and expand the urban drainage system consists of renovation of old canals to prevent flooding
during the rainy season, building sewers to collect municipal wastewater to the treatment area [2].
At the end of 2014, Hue City still had not system collection urban for wastewater treatment. The
connection between the common drainage system of city and the construction of waste treatment on the
spot was still low. For example, in Citadel of Hue areas, the ratio of wastewater collection was only 70%,
the rate the regional drainage network connections in general system was lower than 56% [3]. In addition,
according to many recent studies on urban wastewater characteristics in Hue, the water quality of some
main waterways (Huong River, Nhu Y river, the lakes in Citadel of Hue) have really worried about the
signs of organics and nutrients pollution in the water sources [4, 5, 6].
In fact, if the nutrients (N, P) in urban wastewater were untreated well, this will cause the eutrophiction
pollution to water source [4]. At the urban sewage treatment stations, the handling of nutrients was high
order processing, which required the complex operation system, large investment costs and many
difficulties to achieve high processing performance [1]. The current state of the drainage in Hue city does
not guarantee closure between disposal operation and nutrients reuse in wastewater. Therefore, the
researches to improve the efficiency of nutrients control in urban wastewater are essential. In this study,
we deployed a concentration survey, calculated loading and emission coefficient of five main nitrogenous
wastewater sources in the city Hue.

2. Material and method


2.1. Material
The wastewater generated from households activities and restaurants-eateries, hotels-motels, hospitals,
and markets in Hue City. Subjects of domestic wastewater (n = 27) were surveyed and sampled from
sewage at 18 households in northern of the Huong river (belonging 6 different routes) and 09 households
in the southern of Huong river (belonging 4 different routes) within the scope of city. Subjects of
wastewater from restaurants-eateries (n = 20) and hotel-motels (n = 12) were also examined and sampled
which were distributed for both banks of the North and South of the city. Additionally, 04 hospital
wastewater sources (Central hospital, Central hospital of ODA buildings, Railway hospital, Hoang Viet
Thang hospital) and 05 wastewater sources from markets (Dong Ba market, Ben Ngu market, Kim Long
market, Cau Kho market, An Cuu market) in the city were also surveyed.
2.2. Method
We have combined among methods: data collection (primary, secondary), sampling methods, preservation
and analysis to conduct a baseline study on survey the current state of the water environment.
2.2.1. Investigation, data collection
In addition to the information can be obtained from previously scientific publication, or data be granted
from the concerned management agencies in Hue City (Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Environmental Protection Agency, Urban Environmental One Member State-Owned Limited
Company, Department of Taxation). During the period from March to November in 2013, we have
established 03 forms to investigate the actual use of water and wastewater flow of 03 waste sources:
household activities, restaurants-eateries, and markets.
2.2.2. Sample and sample analysis
In each surveyed location of wastewater samples, which were taken and analyzed fully in 03 phases, with
the total samples are 204 samples (03 rounds68 sample/phase). The wastewater samples have been taken
and been moved immediately to the laboratory in Department of Environmental Sciences-Hue College of
Sciences. Then, samples have been cold-preserved at 14oC degree and been analyzed to determinate TN
(soluble form) [7] in the maximum period to 5 days after sampling. Before analyzing TN, all wastewater
samples were filtered to remove suspended solids.
2.2.3. Calculate loading and emission coefficient of nitrogen
TN waste loading (LTN) of the wastewater sources were determined by the formula
LTN = CTNQNT (g/day) (2.1)
where, CTN is concentration of TN (mg/L); QNT is wastewater capacity (Quse*80%) (m3/day); 80% is
estimated coefficients-amount of used water converted into wastewater.
Nitrogen emission coefficient (FTN) is defined by the formula
FTN = LTN/p (g/unit of activeties*day) (2.2)
where, P is operational capacity of the source is determined from the survey data.

3. Results and Discussions


3.1. Loading and nitrogen emission coefficient of main wastewater sources in Hue City
3.1.1. The household domestic waste source
Results of the survey of domestic waste source: with 27 households (Table 3.1) show that the majority (~
70%) of wastewater samples with TN concentration ranged from 10 to 40 mg-N/L (average is 21.6 mgN/L, n = 27) and with capacity fluctuating strongly between 0.2 to 1.5 m3/day. The variation in the
amount of water capacity due to differences from the numbers of people. According to the survey results,
the total number of members living in 27 households which surveyed are 154, with a total waste load LTN:
405 g/day, corresponding to 2.63 g-N/member.day. Here, 27 households were divided into 04 groups (1-2
members, 3-5 members, 5-8 members and more than 8 members). Groups of 1-2 members have TN
emission coefficient is lowest (highest FTN= 1.67 g-N/member.day) and groups of 3-5 members have
highest FTN (2.92 g-N/member.day), while two other groups have equivalent FTN (~2.30 gN/member.day).
However, these results are significantly lower than the FTN under the guidance of waste source rapid
assessment of WHO-1993 for urban wastewater (6-12g-N/member.day) [8].

3.1.2. Waste source of restaurants-eateries


Among the service restaurants-eateries which examined and sampled wastewater in order to analyze TN
concentration (Table 3.2), only 5% quantity of samples contains TN concentration 10 mg-N/L; and 10%
quantity of samples is TN concentration more than 60 mg-N/L. Mostly, the amount of sample (~85%) has
TN concentrations ranged between 11 and 43 mg-N/L, the average TN concentration (27,0mg-N/L,
n=service) is higher than domestic water waste (21.6 mg-N/L, n=27). Nitrogen loading depends on the
flow of wastewater of each restaurants-eateries. The sum of service table of 20 restaurants-eateries are
309 dining-tables (d-ts), average of FTN emission coefficient of this activity is 7.7 g-N/d-t.day.
In addition, the group of restaurants-eateries different from the number of d-ts (group 1: Sidewalk-Small
eateries (NH18-NH20, n = 3); group 2: restaurants-eateries with less than 10 d-ts (n = 5); group 3:
restaurants-eateries with 11-20 d-ts (n = 9), and group 4: restaurants - eateries with more than 20 d-ts (n =
3)) showed a large difference in nitrogen emission coefficient (FNT) between group 1 and groups
of remaining restaurants-eateries (Table 3.3). Among the of restaurants-eateries (group 2-3-4) have
emission coefficient (FNT) ranged from 119 to149 g-N/d-t.day.

3.1.3 Waste source of hotel and motel


Among the 12 hotels and motels were sampled, only Park View Hotel and Nhu Phu Hotel have quite high
TN concentration about 90 mg-N/L and 79 mg-N/L. The remaining hotels and motels have TN
concentration at median pollution level (less than 50 mg-N/L) (Table 3.4). Average of wastewater from
hotels and motels have TN concentration value (43.3 mg-N/L,n=12) which twice high compare with
domestic wastewater (21.6 mg-N/L,n=27).
Based on the serviced quality (number of stars) and the scale of operations (number of rooms) hotel and
motels, result of FTN nitrogen emission coefficient estimates (g-N/room.day) showed an increase in
emissions of nitrogen in accordance with serviced quality. 5 stars hotels have FTN nitrogen emission
coefficient (~78,9g-N/room.day, n=1) was higher than 3-4 stars hotels (~38.6 g-N/room.day, n=4) and
approximately higher 5 times than the group 1-2 stars hotel (~15.7 g-N/room.day, n=4). Motel groups
(n=3) is the lowest value in FTN (~4.2 g-N/room.day).

3.1.4 Waste source from hospital


The wastewater from 04 hospitals in Hue City has average TN concentration about 3.8 mg-N/L (n=4),
fluctuate at 12-70 mg-N/L, with a total loading is 1951 g-N/day (Table 3.5). Total patient beds of 04
hospitals which were investigated in 2013, were 2807 beds, so we be able to estimate the FTN average
emission coefficient = 0.7 g-N/bed.day. Although Hue Central Hospital has the largest waste loading (~
925 g-N/day), but due to a large number of patient beds (2010 beds) and often overloaded, so it was
source has the lowest emission coefficient (FTN = 0,5 g-N/bed.day). Meanwhile Hoang Viet Thang
hospital, although wastewater has the lowest TN concentrations, but with a large amount of used
water and a moderate number of patient beds (90 beds), the calculated results for emission coefficient is
quite high (= 3,0g-N/bed.day). The two remaining hospital, central hospitals with ODA buildings and
Railways hospital have respectively 0.7 and 3.2 g-N/bed.day.

3.1.5. Waste source from markets

The survey results and the concentration from Hue ammonia loading 5 markets (Dong Ba, Ben Ngu, Kim
Long, Cau Kho and An ) in Hue city is presented in Table 3.6. TN concentrations in the effluent on the
markets fluctuated at 28-75 mg-N/L, the average TN concentration (~ 62.6 mg-N/L, n = 5) 3 times higher
than the wastewater household activities, with a total loading emissions is 3694 g-N/day. On average
emission source markets emission coefficient = 0.09 FTN g-N/m2.day. markets have a large area in
proximity to the city center (Dong Ba and Ben Ngu An Cuu) with emission factors are similar (FTN=0.09
to 0.11g-N/m2.day). Cau Kho market has the highest emission factor FTN = 0.69 g-N/m2.day and Kim

Note: Wastewater flow was calculated from the water bills of the market, wastewater samples taken from the sewer
of the markets. The formula 2.1 determine LTN.

3.2. Evaluation of the nitrogen loading arising from wastewater sources in Hue city
According to the statistics in 2013, Hue city had 350,345 people living in 27 Ward. Hue city, there were
166 hotels and 223 motels; 420 restaurants-eateries authentic; 1032 small sidewalk eateries; 14 hospitals
and 16 markets [2].
Results estimate ammonia loading arising from the wastewater in the Hue city has is presented in Table
3.7. With the assumption, average value of the emission factor (FTN) from Hue the corresponding emission
source is determined according to data analysis of section 3.1. In Hue city, Central Hospital and Dong Ba
market are the two largest sources of emissions should be calculated separately waste loading. The total
nitrogen loading from Hue city wastewater discharged 05 main groups Hue city was 1087.34 kg-N/day.

Household waste sources accounted for the largest proportion (84.7%), followed by hotels and motels
(8.3%) and restaurants-eateries (5.9%). Hospital waste sources and markets sources contributed the
equivalent of lowest density from 0.5 to 0.6% (Figure 3.1).

Figure 3.1. The proportion of emissions load of nitrogen (%) of the 05 wastewater in Hue city
3.3. The simple nitrogen flow from wastewater sources in Hue city
According to the surveyed results of Hoang This My Hang (2013) from many different sources, the 100%
effluent from the hotels and motels and hospitals discharge into system sewer of the city of Hue. Whereas,
only 27.8% of domestic waste water from domestic waste into the sewer, 6.4% discharged directly to
surface water (rivers, lakes, and canals), mainly (65.8%) were discharged to the soil. Wastewater into
sewer of waste source restaurants-eateries is 53.4%, 19.5% discharged directly to surface water and 27.1%
went to the soil environment. Wastewater into sewer of sources of waste markets is low (18.8%), mainly
discharged directly into surface water (75%), environmental soil only received 6.2% [9]. Based on the
ratio of water into the components of the environment, which mentioned above, flow nitrogen simply of 5
wastewaters in the city of Hue is set and presented in Figure 3.2. The estimation results show that alternate
387.14 kg-N/day (~35.6%), 76,12kg-N/day (~7.0%) and 624,08kg-N/day (~57.4%) were into the sewer
system, surface water and soil environment in Hue city

4. Conclusion
This study was the investigation, analysis, calculated loading, emission factors and build diagram simply
flow of nitrogen in the wastewater from 5 domestic wastewater (SH), hotels and motels (KH), restaurantseateries (NH), hospitals (BV) and markets (CH) in Hue city. The concentration of nitrogen of wastewater
5 groups according to the ascending order SH (21.6 mg-N/L, n=27), NH (27,0 mg-N/L, n=20), BV (34.8
mg-N/L, n=4), KH (43.3 mg-N/L, n=12) and CH (62.6 mg-N/L, n=5). Determing some factors emission
nitrogen of discharge sources, such as: FTN (domestic)=2,63 g-N/member.day; FTN (restaurant)=7,7 g-N
/d-t.day; FTN (5 stars hotel)=78,9 g-N/room.day; FTN (3-4 stars hotels)=38,6 g-N/room.day;
FTN(motel)=4,2 g-N/room.day; FTN (hospital)=0,7 g-N/bed.day and FTN(market)=0,09 g-N/m2.day.
Despite the nitrogen concentration is lowest but contribution of domestic wastewater is largest (921.4 kgN/day, ~ 84.7%) of the total nitogen emissions into the environment of the 5 groups of waste sources the
main were mentioned. Nitrogen is dispered in surface water and soil environment accounted for 64.4%,
nearly two times larger than the amount of nitrogen is converted into the sewer system (35.6%) of Hue
city. Therefore, improving the drainage system is essential solutions to improve the efficiency of control
urban wastewater of Hue city. We can see that the database from this study will be useful information
needs of urban wastewater of Hue city.
