• Water Stress

• Sewage Treatment – Technology Options

• Overview of Technologies

• Technology Comparison & Assessment

• Technology Selection

• Way Forward
Yesterday : Water Pollution

Today : Water Stress

Tomorrow : Water Scarcity

• Growing Population

• Increasing Urbanisation

• Insufficient Infrastructure

• Over Extraction of Ground water

• Poor Treatment & Maintenance

• Increasing Gap between Demand & Supply

 EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
 Stabilization Ponds
 Anaerobic Systems (UASB/ AF etc.)
 Aerobic Processes
• Suspended Growth : (ASP & Variants)
• Attached Growth Processes
 Trickling Filter
 SAFF Reactor
 SBR Reactor
 FAB/ MBBR Reactor
 MBR Reactor
Option 1 : ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS (ASP/ EA)

Option 2 : MOVING BED BIO REACTOR (MBBR) /

FLUIDIZED AEROBIC BIOREACTOR (FAB)

Option 3 : SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR (SBR)

Option 4 : MEMBRANE BIO REACTOR (MBR)

Option 5 : UPFLOW ANAEROBIC SLUDGE BLANKET

(UASB) REACTOR

Option 6 : TRICKING FILTER (TF)
