Case Study

Rejuvenation of Sewage Treatment Plant (Rajapur, Allahabad, U.P.) and

Bioremediation of Municipal Sewage

The sewage treatment plant (STP) at Rajapur,

Allahabad India is designed is designed to treat 60
MLD of sewage by using upflow anaerobic sludge
blanket (UASB) reactor followed by oxidation pond
and eventually the quiescent zone which further
helps in removal of biological nutrients. The existing
STP was not in proper function. So they had
approached Bioxgreen to provide a suitable solution
to the existing STP.

The STP inflow was very high (90 to 100 MLD)

than the recommended according to the designed
(60 MLD). Due to this high sewage inflow, the
UASB was disturbed and the entire organic load
was on the aerated lagoon, which was not able to
provide the necessary biological oxygen demand
(BOD) reduction. The existing STP reduced the
BOD of effluent up to the 35.5 mg/L, at against the
expected discharged limit of < 20 mg/L.

Bioxgreen provides turnkey solutions to meet the

customer's needs. Bioremediation of effluents
was carried out using special and very effective
microbial consortium (BXGE 0201), developed by
Bioxgreen. As Bioxgreen’s Bio-cultures are
aerobic and facultative type, so the dosing of bio-
culture was set up at the inlet of aerated lagoon.
Organic compounds contributing to COD, BOD,
colour and odour underwent the microbial
degradation thereby reducing the BOD <20
mg/L. Additionally the foul odour and foam of
the wastewater were also removed after
bioremediation.
