INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERALS
1.1.1 Sewage
1.1.2 Sewerage
Return active sludge (R.A.S) is the active sludge extracted from the system and
mixed with raw water to form the mixed liquor.
Sludge is the average residence time of biological solids in the system. It can be
defined as the average lifespan of bacteria in the system.
Overflow rate / Surface loading is the discharge per unit of plan area. This
parameter is the design factor in designing the settling tanks.
Food to Micro-organisms ratio (F/M ratio) is the ratio between daily BOD
load applied to Aerator System and total microbial mass in the system.

Waste water treatment is a widely used process for the residential and
industrial purposes. In analyzing wastewater treatment plant design problem physical,
chemical and biological parameters are to be considered. In view of the multiple
factors and parameters affecting complete wastewater treatment plant design, a trial
and error characteristics which are time consuming and complex. Several waste water
treatment software tools are available in the market such as Mathematica, Maple ,
MATLAB, Mathcad etc. Such software tools provide vast capabilities for the
modeling and optimization tools for engineers and researchers.
Amongst Indian industries, pulp and paper industry is the greatest industrial
polluter in terms of wastewater volumes and organic discharges. With the ever
increasing social awareness of environmental protection issues, the proper operation
and control of waste water treatment plants have come under scrutiny. Optimization at
every stage of design a WWTP demands systematic investigation and determination
of control strategies to minimize multiple objective criteria. Although this industry
discharges gaseous, liquid and solid wastes, pollution of the aquatic ecosystem is the
major problem as large volumes of waste water are generated while producing paper.
Urban wastewater is usually treated by conventional activated sludge
processes (CASP’s), which involve the natural biodegradation of pollutants by
heterotrophic bacteria ( i. e activated sludge) in aerated bioreactors. Activated sludge
could be separated by gravitational setting. The treatment efficiency is usually limited
by the difficulties in separating suspended solids. The optimal sludge concentration is
generally up to 5 g/l, which imposes large size of aerated bioreactor. Further treatment
of sludge needs to be provided separately.
Membrane bioreactor is an improvement of the CASP where the
traditional secondary clarifier is replaced by a membrane unit for the separation of
treated water from the mixed solution in the bioreactor.
1.3 ROLES OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
In general waste water treatment plants remove solids everything from rags
and plastics to sand smaller particles found in wastewater.
Moreover they reduce organic matter and pollutants by growing incubating
naturally occurring bacteria and other microorganisms which consume the
organic matter in wastewater and are then separated from the water and finally
restore the oxygen to ensure that the water put back into our rivers or lakes has
enough oxygen to support life.
It is well known that the wastewater treatment plants have always undergone
evolution with time and introduction of technology. Se-sufficient biological
treatment plant is on the horizon.
They are prominent for the mitigation of the consumption of electrical energy
and at the same time as doubling green power generation by biogas. However
the upgrading technologies in India are quite different from those in developed
countries.
Apparently reuse of treated municipal wastewater should be encouraged in
industries and agricultural sector.
To treat sewage to meet the standard, which is can be safely discharged to the
environment or reused.
To prepare the suitable sewerage treatment plant method.
To provide an economic sewerage system which is profitable.
To design the size of pipe for sewer and manhole size.

LITERATURE REVIEW
DR. SUNIL JAYANT KULKRNI: (2017)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of sewage from 100 MLD
sewage treatment plant located at Vashi , Navi Mumbai which is based on latest
Cyclic Activated Sludge Technology. Study of sewage quality of this plant is an
essential as the most of the treated effluent discharged into Vashi Creck and
remaining used for Gardening purpose. Water samples were collected from raw inlet
and treated outlet and analyzed for the major waste water quality parameters such as
pH, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen Demand (DOD),
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS) etc. The overall
quality of sewage of 100 MLD sewage treatment plant will be evaluated by collecting
samples. The results of these evaluation also determine whether the effluent
discharged into the water bodies are under limits given by MPCB.
DR.SANTHOSH KUMAR:(2011)
Most of the river basins are closing or closed to severe water shortages
brought on simultaneous effects of agricultural growth industrialization and
urbanization. Performance of state owned sewage treatment plants for treating
municipal waste water and common effluent treatment for treating effluent from small
scale industries is also not complying with prescribed standards. Thus effluent from
treatment plant often not suitable for household purpose and reuse of the waste waters
is mostly restricted to agricultural and industrial purposes. The development of
innovative technologies for treatment of wastewaters from various industries is a
matter of alarming concern for us. Although many research papers have been reported
on waste water pollution control studies but a very few treatment work is carried out
for treatment of wastewater steel industries especially in reference to development of
design of industrial Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) System. Another beneficial spect
of this research work will be recycling reuse of water and sludge from steel industry.
The whole technologies for treating industry wastewater can be divided into four
categories:

complications, the future expansions of the city and consequent increase in the
sewage quantity should be forecasted to satisfactory for a reasonable year. The future
period for which the provision is made in designing the capacities of various
components of the sewerage is known as design period. This sewage treatment plant
is designed for 30 years.

4.3.1 GENERAL
The following point should be kept in mind while giving layout of any
sewage treatment plant:
All the plant should be located in the order of sequence, so that sewage from
one process should directly go to other process.
. If possible all the plant should be located at such elevation that sewage
can flow one plant into next under its force of gravity only.
. All the treatment units should be arranged in such a way that minimum
area is required it will also ensure economy in its cost
. staff quarter and office also should be provided near the treatment
plant, so that operators can watch the plant easily.
. the site of treatment plant should be very neat and give very good
appearance.
Following points are considered during the design of sewage treatment unit:
. The design period should not be done on the hourly sewage flow basis’
but the average domestic flow plus the maximum industrial flow on the yearly record
basis.
. Instead of providing one big unit for each treatment more than two
numbers small unit should provided, which will provide in operation as well as no
stoppage during maintenance and repair of the plant.

Screening is the very first operation carried out at a sewage treatment plant and
consist of passing the raw sewage through different type of screen so as to trap and
remove the floating matter such as tree leaves, paper , gravel , timber pieces , rags ,
fibre , tampons,cans , and kitchen refuse etc.
floating matter.
To remove the major floating matter from the raw sewage in a simple
manner before it reaches into the complex high energy required
process.
The coarse screens essentially consist of steel bars or flat placed to inclination
to the horizontal. The opening between bars are 50mm or above. These racks are
placede in the screen chamber provided in the way of sewer line.
The width of the rack channel should be sufficient so that self cleaning
velocity should be available and a bypass channel should be provided to prevent the
overtopping.
Assume the velocity at average flow is not allowed to exceed 0.8 m/s
The net area screen opening required = 0.9240

Grid removal basins are the sedimentation basins placed in front of the fine
screen to remove the inorganic particles having specific gravity of 2.65 such as sa ,
gravel , grid , egg shell that may clog channel or damage pumps due to abrasion and
to prevent their accumulation in sludge digester.

Fine screens are the structures built between the grit chambers and primary
sedimentation tank in order to remove some amount of suspended solids from sewage.
The fine screens often get clogged need frequent cleaning. The brass metal is used as
it has higher resistant towards rust and corrosion.
Here the disc type fine screen is designed and the wire mesh of the screen is
made up of brass metal.The fine screen is attached with electric motors.The clogged
screen is often cleared by cone brush.

4.15 SKIMMING TANK
Skimming tanks are the tanks removing oils and grease from the sewage
constructed before the sedimentation tanks. Municipal raw sewage contains oils, fats,
waxes, soaps, fatty acids etc. The greasy and oily matter may form unsightly and
odorous scum on the surface of setting tanks or may interfere with the activated
sludge process.
In skimming tank air is blown along with chlorine gas by air diffuser placed at
the bottom of the tank. The rising air tends to coagulate and solidify the grease and
cause it to rise to the top of the tank whereas chlorine destroys the protective colloidal
effect of protein, which holds the grease in emulsified form. The greasy materials are
collected from the top of the tank and the collected are skimmed of specially
designed mechanical equipments.

The surface area required for the tank A = 6.22 X 10-3 X qVr m2

q = rate of flow sewage in m3/day
q = 0.924 x 60 x 60 x 24
= 79833.6 m3/day
Vt = 0.25 m/min
= 0.25 x 60 x 24
= 360 m/day
Primary sedimentation tank is the setting tank constructed next to skimming tank
to remove the organic solids which are too heavy to removed i.e. the particles having
lesser size of 0.2 mm and specific gravity of 2.65.
The designed tank is circular type which makes setting by allowing radial flow.
These are fabricated using carbon steel with epoxy lining on the inside and epoxy
coating on the outside. Built on the concept of inclined plate clarification,
these clarifiers use gravity in conjunction with the projected settling area so as to

4.18 CONCEPT
Atmospheric air is bubbled through primary treated sewage combined with organisms
to develop a biological floc which reduces the organic content of the sewage. The
mixed liquor, the combination of raw sewage and biological mass is formed. In
activated sludge plant, once the effluent from the primary clarifier get sufficient
treatment, the excess mixed liquor is discharged into settling tanks and the treated
supernatant is run off to undergo further treatment. Part of the settled sludge called
Return Activated Sludge (R.A.S) is returned to the head of the aeration system to re-
seed the new sewage entering the tank. Excess sludge eventually accumulates
beyond R.A.S known Waste Activated Sludge (W.A.S) is removed from the
treatment process to keep the ratio of biomass to food supplied (F:M) ratio. W.A.S is
further treated by digestion under anaerobic conditions.
Effluent from primary clarifier flows into the contact tank where it is
aerated and mixed with bacteria.
Soluble materials pass through bacterial cell walls, while insoluble materials stick
to the outside
Fig.4.19 CONTACT STABILIZATION METHOD
Solids settle out later and are wasted from the system or returned to a stabilization
tank.
Microbes digest organics in the stabilization tank, and are then recycled back
to the contact tank, because they need more food.
PROCESS
The activated sludge functions in the above mentioned concept by following the
Contact stabilization method. The effluent from primary clarifier is mixed with 40 to
50% of own volume of activated sludge (R.A.S). Then it is mixed for 4 to 8 hours in
the aeration tank by the combined aerator which does compressed air diffusion and
mechanical mixing. The moving organisms oxidize the organic matter and make it to
settle in the secondary clarifier.The settled sludge known as activated sludge is then
recycled to head of aeration tank and mixed with the new entering sewage. New
activated sludge is produced continuously and W.A.S is disposed along with primary
treated sludge after proper digestion.
The activated sludge plant results 80 to 95% of BOD removal and 90 to 95% bacteria
removal by making the necessary set up such as
(i) Ample supply of oxygen to plant
(ii) Intimate and continuous mixing sewage with activated sludge.
(iii)Constant rate of return sludge is made to be kept through out the process.
4.20 AERATION TANK
Aeration tank is the mixing and diffusing structure is the activated sludge plant.
These are rectangular in shape having the dimensions ranging 3 to 4.5 m deep,4 to 6
m wide and 20 to 200 m length. Air is introduced continuously to the tank. Combined
Aeration type aerators having the diffused air aeration as well as mechanical aeration
together in a single unit are used in the project. The Dorroco model is designed as it
gives higher efficiency and occupies less space. This results in higher efficiency and
lesser detention period and lesser amount of compressed air.

Drying of the digested sludge on open beds of land is sludge drying and such
open beds of land are known as sludge drying beds. The digested sludge from
digestion tank contains a lot of water. So it is necessary to dry up or dewater the
digested sludge before it disposed of dumping. It is the quite suitable to dewater in
Vandalur due to its hot climate.
The sewage sludge is brought and spread over the top of drying beds to a depth
of 20 to 30 cm, through distribution troughs. A portion of the moisture drains Through
the bed while most of its gets evaporated to the atmosphere. In hot countries like India
it takes 6 to 12 days to dry. After the period the sludge cakes are removed with spades
and they are used as manure as it contains 2 to 3 % of NPK.
Sludge drying beds are open beds of land 45 to 60 cm deep, 30 to 45 cm thick
graded layers of gravel or crushed stone varying in size from 15 cm at bottom and
1.25 cm at top. Open jointed under drain pipes of 15 cm diameter are laid below the
gravel layers. Large beds are portioned by concrete walls, and a pipe header from the
digesters with gated openings allows application of sludge independently to each cell.
Sewage collected in the under drains is returned to the plant wet well for treatment
with the raw waste water.
