77.17.3 Performance Criteria of the Plant

Raw sewage will be brought into the Sewage Treatment Plant. The Contractor shall receive
sewage from this point to the treatment plant for treatment process.

The treatment plant shall be designed to treat the above basic characteristics expected in the raw
sewage.

Treated effluent shall be connected to a tertiary filtration plant to treat and shall be use for
irrigation purpose and Flushing/CT make up purposes.

77.17.4 Process Description

Inlet Screen Chamber / Oil & Grease Chamber

Raw sewage shall flow into the inlet screen chamber by gravity. Large solids particles shall
be intercepted by a fine screen. Then there shall be Oil & Grease Tank. Sewerage will then
flow into Equalization / Collection Tank The incoming sewage shall be mixed in the EQT
and fine bubble aeration shall be maintained.

Equalization / Collection Tank

The Plant is based on Sequential Batch Reactor Technology popularly known as SBR
Technology. Unlike various processes of treatments the raw sewage as obtained for the treatment
undergoes Physio-Chemical & Biological Treatments. The first part of Physio-Chemical
treatment is the Primary Treatment to the raw sewage, which covers the physical activities like
screening, de-gritting, flow measurement, flow distribution etc. The plant is designed in
accordance with the characteristics of influent and effluent as provided and according to the
guidelines set up by the ‘CPHEEO Manual’, published by the Govt. of India. The detailed
description of individual units & their functions are given below.

The plant comprises of the following components closed are briefed as follows:

Raw Sewage Pumping Station:

As per the requirement of the plant, the Raw Sewage Pumping Station is designed to handle
average, peak and lean flows. The Coarse Screen Chamber is provided ahead of sump. Screens
will be provided in the Coarse Screen Chamber to screen the raw influent. Necessary hand
operated sluice gate shall be provided to isolate the screen when it is under maintenance. The
Screened sewage is then allowed to flow to the Raw Sewage Collection Sump. The detention time
stipulated as per the tender is adopted for the hydraulic design of wet well. The necessary pumps
will be provided to pump the screened raw sewage for further treatment.

DDF CONSULTANTS PVT. LTD. Page 511

511511
CONSTRUCTION OF 500 BEDDED HOSPITAL BUILDING UNDER
MEDICAL COLLEGE , PALAMU, JHARKHAND

The common rising main is provided to carry the sewage from raw sewage sump to Primary
units.

Primary Units:

The first unit of Primary treatment is the Inlet Chamber, in which the discharge from Common
rising main through Raw Sewage Pumps is received. The inlet chamber is mainly used to control
the velocity of raw influent and also for its smooth distribution of flow to the fine screen channel.
The fine screen channel will be equipped with manual screen & mechanical screen as required
designed for peak flow velocity. Necessary hand operated sluice gate shall be provided at
upstream of the chamber to isolate the screen when it is under maintenance. The screenings is
conveyed to the disposal through a belt conveyor and further it is to be disposed off by suitable
arrangement.

The screened influent then flows to the Grit chambers where the heavy inorganic matter is
separated. The Grit free waste thus obtained will flow to SBR basin. At this stage physical
treatment of raw influent known as Primary Treatment completes.

SBR Process:

SBR is a SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR process. It provides highest treatment efficiency

possible in a single step biological process.

SBR – System is operated in a batch reactor mode which eliminates all the inefficiencies of the
continuous processes. A batch reactor is a perfect reactor, which ensures 100% treatment. Two
modules are provided to ensure continuous treatment. The complete process takes place in a
single reactor, within which all biological treatment steps take place sequentially.

NO additional settling unit / secondary clarifier is required!

The complete biological operation is divided into cycles. Each cycle is of 3 – 5 hrs duration,
during which all treatment steps take place.

Explanation of cyclic operation:

A basic cycle comprises:

Fill-Aeration (F/A)

Settlement (S)

Decanting (D)

A Typical Cycle

DDF CONSULTANTS PVT. LTD. Page 512

512512
CONSTRUCTION OF 500 BEDDED HOSPITAL BUILDING UNDER
MEDICAL COLLEGE , PALAMU, JHARKHAND

During the period of a cycle, the liquid is filled in the SBR Basin up to a set operating water level.
Aeration Blowers are started for aeration of the effluent. After the aeration cycle, the biomass
settles under perfect settling conditions. Once Settled the supernatant is removed from the top
using a DECANTER. Solids are wasted from the tanks during the decanting phase.

These phases in a sequence constitute a cycle, which is then repeated.

Chlorine Contact Tank:

The Effluent from the SBR basins will be collected in Chlorine Contact Tank .The supernatant
thus collected will get disinfected in Chlorine Contact Tank by adding suitable dose of chlorine
and finally it is discharged in to nearby nallah.

Sludge Handling System:

The sludge as collected from SBR basins is collected into sludge sump and conveyed to
centrifuge unit for dewatering the same. The necessary centrifuge feed pumps & Centrifuges
will be provided. There will be an arrangement of dosing polyelectrolyte if necessary.
