INTRODUCTION
Wastewater is created by human
activities; it is catastrophic to the
environment and can also cause loss of water
in places where the water is short. When
wastewater contaminates any water table or
water bodies it makes the water resource
futile. Thus, it is all-important that
wastewater is treated before it released into
the environment in line with the
environmental national regulations.
OBJECTIVE
Bring down the pollutants to less than
maximum permissible limits to prevent the
threat to the environment and human health.
IMPLEMENTATION OF
PROCEDURE
Pre-treatment
A process in which the physical removal of solids through
screening in the main canal stream going to WWTF.

Screening is use to remove large objects, such as stones,

sticks, bones, which could clog lines or block tank inlets.
This is one treatment which quickly reduce the amount of
solids being discharged.
Waste water contain variable amounts of oil and
grease which depends on the process used, the
species processed, and the operational procedure.

The main objective of this unit operation is to

protect downstream treatment processes such as
biological process and air diffusers from blocking.

Generally industrial waste water has high fluctuation

in flow depends on the production cycle of the
industry. Therefore, equalization tank is used to
equalized the flow and concentration of waste water.
Summary:
Thru the waste water canal, influent goes to the sump
pit in which the separation of oil and water will take
place; oil will float on water since it is less denser, the
water will flow to equalization pond to separate the oil
that carried over from sump pit; the water flow to the
receiving box submerged with sump pump.

Oil separated from sump pit are being collected and

use as an alternative fuel to boiler vessels, blended in
coal.
Primary Treatment
Influent (untreated waste water) will pump to Dissolve Air
Flotation (DAF Cell) in where it is treated by Polyaluminum
chloride (PAC) and Polymer as flocculants and coagulants
respectively.

During the treatment process, sludge will accumulate on the

surface water of DAF Cell and mechanically scraped - flow to
sludge collection tank and pumped to sludge dewatering
machine.

On the other phase, the treated water will flow to pipeline that
lead to Aeration Pond 1.
Separation of the microorganisms from the treated wastewater (treated
effluent), usually by sedimentation or gravity settling, and the
subsequent recycling of the separated microorganisms (activated sludge)
to the reactor (aeration tank).
Summary:
DAF Cell aerates with controlled air producing fine bubbles
making the solids in water float; dosed Polyaluminum
chloride (PAC) as coagulant and Polymer as flocculant will
bind the remaining small-scale solids that override from
pre-treatment process.

Gathered solids will accumulate on the surface water and

mechanically scraped – flow to sludge collection tank and
pumped to sludge dewatering machine.

Sludge are mechanically pressed extracting water back to

equalization pond. Sludge pass through the belt press latter
for collection to be reused as an alternative fuel.
Secondary Treatment
Treated water from DAF Cell flow to
aeration pond 1 & 2 for biological treatment by
using air blower and diffusers, water goes to the
settling ponds for days in where it is latter
discharge as an effluent (treated waste water)
coursing to Sarangani Bay.
Summary:
Dosed chemical treatment in DAF Cell task to coagulate
even small-scale solids attracts in it and bind by
flocculant making the gathered solids more compact and
heavy.

Through the controlled air supply, solids will agitate and

accumulate on the surface water to be scraped
mechanically to sludge collection tank.

Settled solids at the bottom of the tank are agitated by

the return treated waste water making the solids
vigorously stirred and float over and above.
