1
SEWAGE TREATMENT: PROCESS OF
REMOVING CONTAMINANTS.

TO REMOVE CONTAMINANATS, PHYSICAL

CHEMICAL AND BOILOGICAL PROCESSES
ARE USED.

AFTER TREATMENT WASTEWATER IS SAFE

TO RELEASE IN THE ENVIRINMENT.
2
TYPES OF PROCESS
i) ACTIVATED SLUGE PROCESS
ii)
iii) INTERMITTENT SAND FILTER PROCESS
iv)

3
ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS
IT IS A TYPE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR
TREATING SEWAGE OR INDUSTRIAL
WASTEWATER
AERATION AND BOLOGICAL FLOC COMPOSED
OF BACTERIA AND PROTOZOA ARE USED FOR
TREATMENT

4
OPERATIONS
MIXING OF ACTIVATED SLUDGE
AERATION
SETTING IN SECOUNDARY CLARIFIER(CLARIFIER)

5
ADVANTAGES:
COST OF INTALLATION IS LOW
REQUIRES A SMALL AREA TO OPERATE
LOSS OF HEAD IS COMPARATIVELY LOW
THERE IS NO FLY OR ODOUR NUISANCE

6
DISADVANTAGES
SUDDEN INCREASE IN VOLUME IN SEWAGE
AFFECTS THE WORKING PROCESS
COST OF THE OPERATING PROCESS IS
HIGH
PROCESS IS SENSITIVE TO SOME TYPES OF
WASTES
WET SLUDGE OBTAINED NEEDS A
SUITABLE METHOD FOR DISPOSAL
7
INTERMITTENT SAND FILTER

Intermittent sand filter system is used in

treatment of waste water.

They are considered to be secondary

treatment systems since they usually
require the primary treatment of sewage
by a septic tank.
8
 ADVANTAGES
~ISFs produce a high quality effluent that
can be used for drip irrigation.

~ISFs have low energy requirements.

~No chemicals are required.

9
 DISADVANTAGES
~The land required area may be
limiting factor.

~Regular (but minimal) maintenance is

required.

~Clogging of the filter media is

possible.
