Abstract
Microalgae are promising candidates that can be used in secondary wastewater treatment thanks
to their ability to reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphate as well as other toxic compounds,
including heavy metals, so they will provide a bio -processing Coupled with the production of
a potentially recoverable biomass, which can be used for several purposes.
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the importance and feasibility of using microalgae to
treat wastewater by building a wastewater treatment plant in the locality of Taoura (State of
Souk-Ahras), in order to improve the region's ecological conditions, wastewater quality,
preserve the natural environment and protect public health.
In this dissertation, we have dimensioned microalgae wastewater treatment plant for the 2050
horizon, with a capacity of 40662 Inhabitant Equivalent
