levels. High levels of phosphates and nitrates are advantageous

for irrigation. With a post treatment the treated effluent can be
reused for industrial purposes to avoid groundwater
consumption.

9.7 TREATMENT PROCESS

The sewage treatment plant shall be constructed on SBR technology for 10 mld (av. ) flow as per
standard norms.

9.8 SBR TECHNOLOGY / CYCLIC ACTIVED SLUDEGE TREATMENT PROCESS

This process has an inbuilt mechanism for Nitrification, De-nitrification and Biological Phosphorous
Removal to degrade nutrients like Total Nitrogen (TN) and Phosphorous (TP). In case the treated
sewage is discharged into a lake body, it is critical to have TN <10 ppm and TP <2 ppm, as otherwise
these nutrients lead to massive algae / other aquatic plants growth which leads to depletion of the
dissolved oxygen in the lake and subsequent cause extensive damage to the marine ecology. As per
present waste water quality SBR followed by UV system is suitable for achieving the desired effluent
quality. Process flow diagram is given below.
This process ensures removal of all nutrients to acceptable levels in the single stage biological
process.
