To promote coagulation and better separation of suspended solids
Sludge Dewatering Unit

Sludge Dewatering Unit

Centrifuge Decanter
Separates the biosolids from the liquid portion or centrate
8 to 12m3/hour capacity
300-400 kg of dry solids/hr max. capacity
25-28% dryness is achieved
Centrate Treatment : Secondary Treatment

Equalization Tank, where microorganisms will clean the water

by digesting organic pollutants, producing water quality
compliant with government regulatory standards > Class C
Centrate Treatment : Tertiary Treatment using MBR & UV Light
MBR for re-use water

FRP tank equipped with a Membrane Filtration System and Ultra Violet Light which further
cleans and clarifies the treated effluent, resulting in an effluent quality fit as re-use water (for
gardening, washing of vacuum trucks) or for discharge into nature.
Treated Effluent for Re-use (Fishpond, Watering, etc.)

> Class C effluent quality (DENR Standards)

HOW TO IMPLEMENT A SEPTAGE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (SMP)
• FEASIBILITY STUDIES
- USAID-PWRF updating
- Funding: DOH, DENR, DBP, DPWH, PRIVATE, IGF
- In-House or Outsource

• CITY/MUNICIPAL/PROVINCIAL ORDINANCES
- Mandatory desludging
- Penalty provisions for non-compliance
- WD and/or Private Sector as possible implementors
- MOA between LGU and WD on Implementation
- MOA between LGUs on Clustering

• MODALITY
- Supply, Install, Commissioning & Process Proving
- Joint Venture between WD and Private Sector
- Service Contract
ORDINANCE (MANDATORY DESLUDGING)
ORDINANCE (PENALTY PROVISIONS)

ORDINANCE IRR (MOA WD & LGU, LOT & ROW)
MOA BETWEEN LGUs
PROPOSED MEASURES
• DILG and Provincial Governments to issue Administrative
Orders to all LGUs to enact ordinances immediately
implementing the CWA and Septage Management Program
and have MOAs clustering smaller neighboring towns

• DPWH to open up NSSMP grants to non-HUCs and include

septage to sewerage, to make available grants for the funding
of Feasibility Studies. DPWH to also provide templates and
master checklists on “what to’s, how to’s, who to’s”… POM…
