PROCESS DESCRIPTION FLOW DIAGRAM.

SEQUENCING BATCH REACTOR:

Proposed STP is with Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology. It is a sequential suspended growth (activated
sludge) process in which all major steps occur in the same tank in sequential order. SBRs will be designed and
operated to enhance removal of nitrogen, phosphorus, and ammonia, in addition to removing TSS and BOD. The
intermittent flow SBR accepts influent at specified intervals and follows the five-step sequence.

The major components of the SBR plant include the batch tank, aerator, mixer, decanter device, process control
system (including timers), pumps, piping, and appurtenances. Aeration will be provided by diffused air generated
from mechanical air diffusers. SBRs are sized to provide mixing as well and are operated by the process control
timers. Mechanical aerators have the added value of potential operation as mixers or aerators.

LEAD Consultancy & Engineering Services (India) Private Limited, Bangalore Page 4
The decanter is a critical element in the process. Proposed units are with fixed decanters. The key to the SBR
process is the control system, which consists of a combination of level sensors, timers, and microprocessors.
Programmable logic controllers are must, which will be configured to suit the owner’s needs.

Each operating cycle of a SBR reactor comprises five distinctive phases, referred to as: FILL, REACT, SETTLE,
DRAW and IDLE phases. Overall control of the system is accomplished with level sensors and a timing device or
microprocessor

FILL:
During this stage the SBR Tank is filled with the influent wastewater. In order to maintain suitable F/M (food to
microorganism) ratios, the wastewater should be admitted into the tank in a rapid, controlled manner. This
method functions similarly to a selector, which encourages the growth of certain microorganisms with better
settling characteristics. Depending upon the treatment objective, the fill may be static, mixed or aerated. Studies
recommend static FILL with neither aeration nor mechanical mixing, as this helps promote high fermentation
rates with allow flocculent bacteria to outcompete filamentous species, hence prevent sludge bulking.

REACT:
This stage involves the utilization of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia nitrogen, where
applicable, by microorganisms. The length of the aeration period and the sludge mass determines the degree of
treatment. The length of the aeration period depends on the strength of the wastewater and the degree of
nitrification (conversion of the ammonia to a less toxic form of nitrate or nitrite) provided for in the treatment

SETTLE:
During this stage, aeration is stopped and the sludge settles leaving clear, treated effluent above the sludge
blanket. Duration for settling varies from 45 to 60 minutes depending on the number of cycles per day. The
major advantage of SBR is its use as a clarifier, which allows for truly quiescent sedimentation conditions.
Because all of the biomass remains in the tank until some fraction must be wasted, there is no need for underflow
hardware normally found in conventional clarifiers. In contrast, the conventional ASP systems, continuously
remove mixed liquor and passes through the clarifier only to return a major portion of the sludge to the aeration
tank. Thus in conventional systems, quiescent conditions are assumed in design, but not achieved in operation as
a result of secondary currents.

LEAD Consultancy & Engineering Services (India) Private Limited, Bangalore Page 5
 DECANT:
At this stage of the process effluent is removed from the tank through the decanter, without disturbing the settled
sludge. . There are several withdrawal mechanisms available. It may be as simple as a pipe fixed at some
predetermined depth with the flow regulated by decant valve.

IDLE:
The SBR Tank waits idle until it is time to commence a new cycle with the filling stage. This time can be
effectively used to waste sludge.

Advantages:
1. Completely automated system. Human intervention required will be less.
2. High degree of MLSS can be generated in the reactor tank if the decanter mechanism is properly designed
based on time and loading. ( around 8000- 10000 MLSS)
3. Amount of diffused air required is less and Air diffuser will be working only during react phase of the
treatment. Hence power consumption for treatment is less.
4. Single reactor tank is used for secondary treatment process.
5. No media or membrane required.

The sludge generated from the SBR contains moisture, which should be drained using filter press before sludge
drying. The filtrate drained is sent to the Equalization tank and the cycle is repeated.

1. Bar Screen Chamber:

Provide a chamber of size 1.0 m x 0.6 m to suit sewer gradient to accommodate an inclined bar screen with opening
less than 10 mm. Provide a bar screen of 20 x 6 mm flats with 10 mm spacing in between as coarse bar screen and
provide a 1.0 m x 0.6 m bar screen with 10 mm sq. openings as a Fine Bar Screen.

2. Equalization Tank:

The sewage from the bar screen chamber is let into the Equalization Tank. This tank is provided for even out the
flow variation, and to provide a continuous feed into the secondary biological treatment units.

3. Sequencing Batch Reactor:

The water from the Equalization tank is pumped to the sequencing batch reactor where fine pore aeration takes
place. Usually the process takes place in batches. Aeration and settling process takes place in the same reactor.
