 Design Approach
The Wastewater generated from the apartment is classified as Sewage and Sullage; sewage is the
wastewater generated from water closet, where sullage is the wastewater generated from
Kitchen, Bathrooms and Wash Area. It should be treated separately because of the difference in
its characteristics. A separate system is proposed for the treatment of wastewater generated.

Process Description

Proposed Wastewater Treatment System consists of following

2. Oil Separator
3. Equalization and Pumping

5. Filtration System

7. Treated Water Collection
8. Sludge Drying Bed

1. Screening of Sullage
Sullage will be screened for separating floating as well as coarse particle present in the
wastewater. The particles deposited on the screen shall be cleaned manually. Screening should
be properly done for the protection of pumps and plumbing line. Screened solids shall be
collected and separated from plastic or non-biodegradable materials. The non-biodegradable
solids shall be subjected to land filling or sanitary land filling or dried and incinerated. After
proper screening the sullage will be channeled to grit cum oil separator

2. Grit cum Oil Separator

Just after the preliminary screening the wastewater shall be passed through oil separator, in
which the heavy solid particle will be settled down at the bottom of first compartment, oil and
grease will float at the second compartment, which shall be removed manually and stored for
further treatment and disposal on a regular basis. Water flowing out from oil separator will be
almost free from oil content and it shall be treated effectively in the further unit process
reactors. Water flows out from the oil separator shall be channeled to equalization tank.

3. Equalization Tank and Pumping System

Over flow water from the grit cum oil separator shall be collected in an equalization tank,
which is also designed with a capacity to hold the peak flow. The tank shall be designed with a
retention time of 12 hrs. Wastewater from the equalization tank shall be uniformly pumped to

10 CMD Sewage Treatment Plant The Consultant…..

Biocoenosis Envirotech, Near Cusat, Cochin
next unit using submersible/Monoblock pumps. Two pumps will be used for pumping the
wastewater, one pump will be on duty and the other will be on standby mode.

4. Flocculation Tank - 1
A mild dose of coagulant will be used for the production of larger floccs from the suspended
impurities and other organic matter present in the water coming out from the oil separator.
Thorough mixing is attained using air which will enhance the effectiveness of flocculation. Over
flow from the flocculation tank is then routed to the Settling Tank - 2

5. Settling Tank - 1
Over flow from the flocculation tank 1 is held in the settling tank 1 for a predetermined
hydraulic retention time, in which the coarse particle will settle down under gravity. There is no
chemical addition anticipated in this unit operation. The solid content present in the wastewater
may settle down under gravity and the clear water rise up. This clear water shall be overflown
to the flocculation tank -2. Solids settled at the bottom of the settling tank shall be pumped out
and dried in sludge drying bed.

6. Flocculation Tank - 2
Overflow from the settling tank 1 is connected to flocculation tank 2. A mild dose of coagulant
will be used for the production of larger floccs from the suspended impurities and other organic
matter present in the water coming out from the oil separator. Thorough mixing is attained
using air which will enhance the effectiveness of flocculation. Over flow from the flocculation
tank is then routed to the SettlingTank -2

7. Settling Tank - 2
Over flow from the flocculation tank - 2 is held in the settling tank 2 for a predetermined
hydraulic retention time, in which the coarse particle will settle down under gravity. There is no
chemical addition anticipated in this unit operation. The solid content present in the wastewater
may settle down under gravity and the clear water rise up. This clear water shall be overflown
to the filter feed. Solids settled at the bottom of the settling tank shall be pumped out and dried in
sludge drying bed.

8. Filtration System

10 CMD Sewage Treatment Plant The Consultant…..

Biocoenosis Envirotech, Near Cusat, Cochin
The filtration system proposed here is composed of Pressure Sand Filter, Activated Carbon filter
and Micron Cartridge Filter. The Pressure Sand Filter, Activated Carbon Filter and Micron
Cartridge filter are fitted in Series. Treated effluent shall be pumped to the pressure sand filter
first and it will allowed to pass through the Activated Carbon Filter followed by micron cartridge
filter

9. Disinfection System
Disinfection system consists of chemical dosing for the complete deactivation of any harmful
microorganism in the water. If it is required, two stages of chlorination will be done for the
effective disinfection of the treated water. Disinfection shall be done using sodium hypochlorite
solution. After adding hypochlorite into the filter feed tank, a predetermined time will be
provided to make enough contact time for the disinfectant to deactivate the microorganism
present in the treated water. Post chlorination can be done after the cartridge filtration unit.
Final effluent will be stored in a collection tank for reuse such as gardening, floor washing,
flushing, dripping in the urinals etc.

10. Treated Water Collection and Disposal

Water flowing out from the filter shall be collected in treated water collection tank. The treated
water from collection tank is pumped to overhead flush water tanks for using it as flush water,
gardening and floor washing. Excess water generated after the treatment shall be disposed to
land for percolation through soak pit.

11. Sludge Drying Bed

Sludge drying beds are provided to allow surplus sludge that is withdrawn from the process to
dry for easier handling. Sludge drying relies on an underground drainage system as well as
sunshine. Liquid from the underdrains should be returned to the sewage treatment process for
further treatment.

Sludge contains a high concentration of solids, but its water content is still high. Combined
primary and secondary sludge from an activated sludge treatment plant contains about 2 %
solids and hence 98 % water. One kg of dry sludge is associated with 49 L of water. Thickening
is carried out in a sedimentation tank or in a sedimentation pond. The latter is advantageous if

land area is available, because the sludge can be allowed to settle over a much longer period and
a higher solids content of the thickened sludge is achieved. Dried sludge can be used as manure.

The sludge generated from both the settling tank shall be routed to sludge drying bed. There will
be three to four beds in series. The solid waste obtained from the settling tanks shall be pumped
to this sludge drying bed and will be allowed to be dried under the sun. There will be three to
four beds, in which the first bed will be charged and used for the first week. Like this, other beds
will be used for the proceeding weeks. The first bed will be dried with in the time taken for first
cycle. Dried sludge can be stored in cool and dry place for many years, which can be used as
manure.
