SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (STP)

It is proposed to install sewage treatment plant of 120 KL per day capacity to


recover the effluent (recycled water) of quality suitable for use as make up to the
cooling towers of the air conditioning system, landscaping and flushing. The
process proposed to be adopted is high efficiency aerobic treatment scheme
based on extended aeration system using bubble diffused aeration.

Sewage Treatment Plant used for recycling of this sewage shall be compact,
odor free and consume low power. Waste water after treatment shall be suitable
for air conditioning make-up and flushing

Following shall be the Parameters for design of Treatment Plant.

NATURE OF EFFLUENT DOMESTIC SEWAGE

pH 7.5 - 8.5
BOD5 250 - 400 Mg/L
Suspended Solids 200 - 450 Mg/L
COD 600 - 800 Mg/L
Oil & Grease 50 Mg/L

Standards of the Treated Effluent shall be as follows:

PARAMETERS VALUE
pH 6.0 - 8.5
BOD5 Less than 20 mg/L
Suspended solids Less than 10 mg/L
COD Less than 60 mg/L
Oil & Grease Less than 5 mg/

In order to conserve water, the treatment plant shall be designed to ensure that
treated effluent (water) characteristics are well below the permissible limits, even
under varying flow conditions. This implies that the selected process shall be
able to withstand the shock load situation. It is proposed to use activated sludge
system working on the principle of Extended Aeration Process.

Waste water will flow via gravity collection system through a bar screen chamber
to a sump. A bar screen shall be provided at the inlet point in the bar screen
chamber and the waste water will flow through this into the sump. Bar screen
shall be so designed that it can be cleaned manually by going down to a platform
in the chamber. Two submersible solid handling pumps shall be provided in the
sump to pump the collected waste water to the aeration chamber. Automatic
level controllers shall be provided in the sump to turn the pump off at the
low water level in the sump and to start the pump
automatically when water level is high. In case water level in the sump continues
to rise (Pump out of order) a high level alarm shall be sounded. Air will be
introduced in the sump through submerged air diffusers to avoid the sewage from
becoming septic.

Waste water from the sump shall be lifted by means of effluent lifting pumps
into an aeration tank where it will be mixed with living organisms also called
MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids) & air shall be introduced through
submerged air diffusers (MLSS in aeration tank shall be maintained 3500-4000
Mg/L). The aeration system shall be designed in a way so as to achieve
complete mixing of organisms with raw sewage.

From the aeration tank this mixed liquor passes into the secondary clarifier
Through the use of baffles, the liquid in the clarifier tank shall be maintained in
quiescent condition which will allow the solids to settle to the bottom for
collection. The accumulating solids known as “Sludge” shall flow constantly from
the clarifier tank bottom to the aeration tank via pumps. This return sludge shall
undergo further digestion in the aeration tank and also provides active organism
needed to digest the incoming raw sewage.

The Clarifier shall be provided with adjustable overflow weir to collect the treated
effluent and a scum baffle shall keep any floating matter from passing out in the
final treated water. Treated water from secondary clarifier shall over flow into
baffled chlorine contact tank where hypochlorite solution shall be added to
disinfect the treated water.

Excess sludge from the bottom of the clarifier shall be wasted in an adjoining
aerobic digester cum thickener tank. In this tank sludge shall be aerated. The air
shall be shut off periodically and water shall flow into the collection tank. This
way the sludge shall be thickened and its volume shall be reduced. The sludge
digester cum thickener tank shall be sized to hold excess sludge production of
six months.

A submersible solids handling pump with flexible hose connection shall be


provided to pump the sludge out into a tanker for twice a year cleaning.

A tertiary treatment system comprising of an Activated Carbon Filter and


Multigrade Filter shall be provided in order to make the treated sewage suitable
for air-conditioning make-up, horticulture and flushing. The water for cooling
towers shall additionally be passed through the softener.
