ETP treatment scheme-

1. Primary Treatment

The system will be designed to treat 1000 cmd of

waste water. Wastewater from Different process,
which has gone through MEE treatment along with
wastewater from cooling tower, boiler blow down
and low concentrated process wastewater. etc. will
be collected in the Equalization Tank and air
stripped. This effluent will be then be pumped to the
Flash Mixer where it is dosed with alum for
coagulation.

Flash Mixer is followed by a flocculator where

poly will be dosed for bigger flock formation. This
effluent is overflowed into the settling tank where
the solids will be settled down and removed.

2. Secondary (Aerobic) Treatment:

The system will be designed to treat 1000 cmd

waste water. The neutralized effluent will enter the
bioreactor. In the bio reactor, dissolved organic
material is degraded by the micro–organisms

present in the bio reactor. Oxygen required for the
oxidation of organic matter will be provided by
means of proposed diffuser aeration system which
will mix the contents of the bioreactor. The mixed
liquor will overflow into Secondary Settling Tank
(SST).

In the secondary settling tank, solid-liquid

separation takes place and solids i.e. biomass will
settle at the bottom of the tank. Settled biomass will
be recycled to the bio reactor for maintaining the
MLVSS concentration by using proposed sludge
recycle pumps and excess biomass will be wasted
periodically to the sludge sump. Two stage
treatments are proposed where the overflow from
the 1st stage clarifier will enter the 2nd stage
bioreactor where the non-degraded organics from
the 1st stage bioreactor will be treated. The clear
overflow from the 2nd stage Secondary Settling
Tank will be Collection in the intermediate sump.

3. Tertiary Treatment:

 PARUL UNIVERSITY

Department of Chemical Engineering
The system will be designed to treat 1000 KLD of
waste water. The clear effluent from the
intermediate sump will be pumped by tertiary Feed
pumps through the pressure sand filter (PSF) &
activated carbon filters. The final treated effluent
will be Collection in the final Collection tank from
where it will be discharge to proposed upgraded
CETP.
4. Sludge Handling:
Primary sludge, excess biomass from the
secondary treatment and backwash water from PSF
will be collected in the sludge sump. From the
sludge sump the sludge will be pumped to the
decanter for dewatering. The solid cake from the
decanter will be sent for disposal to Hazardous
waste disposal site. The filtrate from the Filter press
will be drained to the collection tank.

Air Pollution
Main source of air pollution is flue gas and process gas
generation from existing plant. There are chances of
fugitive emission due to manufacturing activities and
raw material handling and transportation. There will not
be any flue gas generation from proposed expansion
project. There will be any process gas generation from
proposed expansion project. There will be chances of
fugitive emission due to manufacturing activities and
raw material handling and transportation. Various
sources of air pollution are described hereunder:

3. Sparkle Filters

The main operation of sparkler filter press is to filter the

impure liquid. The filter is manufactured with two options
viz. deep plate for high percentage of cake holding capacity
& shallow plate for small percentage of cake capacity.

4. VTD

Vacuum drying is the mass transfer operation in whichthe

moisture present in asubstance, usually a wet solid, is
removed by means of creating a vacuum.

In chemical processing industries like food processing,

pharmacology, agriculture, and textiles, drying is an
essential unit operation to remove moisture.

5. Fluidized Bed Dryer

In FBD, the fluidized air steam is introduced by a fan or a

blower mounted at the top of the apparatus. The air isheated
to a required temperature in the air heater and flows upwards
through the wet materials, which remains in a drying
chamber fitted with a wire mesh supported at the bottom. By
this process, the material is suspended and agitated in a
warm air steam while the granulation is maintained in
motion.

Screening :

The first unit operation encountered in wastewater-treatment

plants is screening. A screen is a device with openings,
generally of uniform size that is used to retainthe coarse
solids found in wastewater. According to the size of
openings, screens are designated as coarse or fine. Coarse
screens have openings of ¼ inch or more, and fine screens
have openings of less than ¼ inch.

Oil Separation :

It is a process in which Floatables, namely non-emulsified

oil and organics separates from wastewater. The design of
the separator is based on the specific gravity difference

18
 PARUL UNIVERSITY
Faculty of Engineering and Technology
Parul Institute of Engineering and Technology-Diploma Studies
Department of Chemical Engineering

between the oil and the wastewater and between the

suspended solids and wastewater. In general, this separator

can handle very large flow. However, its disadvantage is the
long retention time required for efficient oil separation.

Flow Equalization :

Flow equalization is used to overcome the operational

problems caused by flow variations, to improve the
performance of the downstream processes, and is also used
as an emergency tank to equalize wastewater effluent in case
of any process failure in the treatment process. The design
must provide for sufficient mixing to prevent solids
deposition and concentration variations and also to provide
aerationto prevent odor problems.

Sedimentation :

Sedimentation is the separation from water, by gravitational

settling, of suspended particles that areheavier than water.
Sedimentation is used for separation of grit and particulate
matter in the primary settling basin,
separation of biological-flock in the activated-sludge

19
 PARUL UNIVERSITY

settling basin, and separation of chemical-flock when the

chemical coagulation process is used. It is also used for
solids concentration in sludge thickeners.

Neutralization :

Industrial wastes often contain acidic or alkalinecomponents

which require neutralization before discharge or treatment.
For wastes that are discharged to receiving waters, a pH
between 6 and 9 is frequently specified by regulatory
agencies. For wastes entering biological treatment
processes, the pH should be maintained between
6.5 and 9 for optimum growth of the microorganisms.

Acidic wastes are commonly neutralized with wastealkaline

streams, lime, dolomite, ammonia, caustic soda, or soda ash.
Lime is the most widely used alkaline material for
neutralization acid wastes because of its low cost. Lime may
be slow to react and may form insoluble precipitates.
Alkaline wastes usually require treatment with a waste acidic
stream, sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.

Activated Sludge :

The conventional activated sludge system contains a tank for

wastewater aeration followed by a settler and solids recycle
line. The wastewater flows through under constant aeration
in the presence of activated sludge and exits at the end of the
tank after 4-8 hours of residence time. The oxygen
concentration in the reactor should be 0.5-2 mg/l throughout,
where values over 2 mg/l are considered lost energy.

Extended Aeration is the modified form of a conventional

activated sludge process in which the production of excess
sludge is minimized by oxidation and an increase in
residence time, i.e. through the larger size of the aeration
tank.The retention time is extended to 1-2 days, whichresults
in a very low net yield of sludge due to its consumption of
endogenous respiration.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM:

Water treatment is used to optimize most water-based

industrial processes, such as: heating, cooling, processing,
cleaning, and rinsing so that operating costs and risks are
reduced. Poor water treatment lets water interact with the
surfaces of pipes and vessels which contain it. Steam boilers
can scale up or corrode, and these deposits will mean more
fuel is needed to heat the same amount ofwater.

Cooling towers can also scale up and corrode, but left

untreated, the warm, dirty water they can contain will
encourage bacteria to grow, and Legionnaire’s Disease can
be the fatal consequence. Also, water treatment is used to
improve the quality of water contacting the manufactured
product e.g. semiconductors, and/or can be part of the
product e.g. beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc.
In these instances, poor water treatment can cause defective
products. Domestic water can become unsafe to drink if
proper hygiene measures are neglected.

Water Softening :

Water softening is the removal of calcium, magnesium, and

certain other metal cat ions in hard water. The resulting soft
water is more compatible with soap and extends the lifetime
of plumbing. Water softening is usually achieved using lime
softening or ion-exchange resins.
