METHODOLOGY

The objective of Sewage treatment plant proposal is to treat sewage and reuse the treated
water for Non-critical purposes, thereby minimizing the ground water pollution.

The system is designed based on SEQUENCING BATCH REACTOR, (SBR) technology. An

SBR operates in a true batch mode with aeration and sludge settlement both occurring in the
same tank. The major differences between SBR and conventional continuous-flow activated
sludge system, is that the SBR tank carries out the functions of equalization, aeration and
sedimentation in a time sequence rather than in the conventional space sequence of
continuous-flow systems. Thus, there is a degree of flexibility associated with working in a time
rather than in a space sequence. Also the SBR system gives satisfactory result even at inflow
quantity fluctuation. Hence SBR system is proposed for the above project.

TECHNICAL DETAILS OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

Considered inflow Rate of sewage as 2000 m3/day (Provided by client)

Parameter Influent Treated water

Expected average BOD 250 to 300 mg/l <10 mg/l

Expected average COD 400-650 mg/l <250 mg/l

Total suspended solids 250 to 300 mg/l <20 mg/l

TREATMENT PROCESS.
1. Bar Screen:
The sewage is screened before treatment using mild steel grate bars. Any solid particles thus
screened off will be manually removed periodically and disposed. This process helps to avoid
clogging of pumps in further treatment.

2. Collection cum equalization:

The wastewater from Bathing, kitchen & toilets of houses shall be collected in this collection
sump for equalization. The equalized wastewater is passed into an aeration tank. Further, to
keep the wastewater in this tank fresh and to get uniformity, the contents in this sump are
aerated by means of coarse membrane diffuser, which is fed by a common blower.

3. Sequencing Batch Reactor Process

The operating principles of a batch activated sludge process, or SBR, are characterized in six
discrete periods:
1. Anoxic fill
2. Aerated Fill
3. React
4. Settle
5. Decant
6. Idle

Anoxic Fill
The influent wastewater is distributed throughout the settled to provide good contact between
the microorganisms and the substrate. Most of this period occurs without aeration to create an
environment that favors the procreation of microorganisms with good settling characteristics.
Aeration begins at the beginning of this period.

Settle Aerated Fill

Mixed liquor is mixed with the influent flow in the motive liquid pump, and discharged, as
motive liquid. This initiates the feast period. Feast is when the microorganisms have been in
contact with the substrate and a large amount of oxygen is provided to facilitate the substrate
consumption. Nitrification and denitrification occurs at the beginning of this stage.

React
During this period aeration continues until complete biodegradation of BOD is achieved. After
the substrate is consumed famine stage starts. During this stage some microorganisms will die
because of the lack of food and will help reduce the volume of the settling sludge. The length
of the aeration period determines the degree of BOD consumption.
Aeration is discontinued at this stage and solids separation takes place leaving clear, treated
water above the sludge blanket. During this clarifying period no liquids should enter or leave
the tank to avoid turbulence in the supernatant.

Decant
This period is characterized by the withdrawal of treated water from approximately two feet
below the surface of the mixed liquor by the floating solids excluding decanter. This removal
must be done without disturbing the settled sludge.
STP Design details KHB, 9th BLOCK
Idle
The time in this stage can be used to waste sludge. The wasted sludge is pumped to Sludge
holding tank to reduce the volume of the sludge to be discarded. The frequency of sludge
wasting ranges between once each cycle to once every two to three months depending upon
sludge volume index.

4. Decant Tank
The clear water from aeration tank after well aeration and settling is decanted to Decant tank
which will be pumped through Pressure Sand Filter and Activated Carbon Filter where the
turbidity and residual BOD present will be completely minimized.
5. Tertiary Treatment:
The treated water is then collected in the final collection tank. Before reaching this tank,
chlorine solution is dosed in to this water stream, with the help of a Dosing pump, to disinfect
as well as to digest any residual organic matters. The treated water so collected shall be
pumped and used for gardening and irrigation. Also, the same water shall be used for back
washing of filters. The back wash drain, filter rinse drain and the decanted water shall be
pumped/drained back to the equalization tank.

5. Sludge Drying Beds

The excess sludge from SBR tank will be pumped to Sludge drying beds, where it is
subsequently dewatered by gravity. This dewatered sludge can be used as solid manure for
agriculture and gardening.
