Advanced Wastewater Treatment Design

The document outlines a mini project focused on designing an advanced wastewater treatment plant to address pollution caused by untreated sewage. It emphasizes the importance of treating wastewater to protect human health and aquatic life, and details the objectives of reducing solids and nuisance-causing elements in sewage. The project includes lab tests to characterize wastewater properties such as pH, turbidity, and B.O.D., which are essential for planning the treatment process.

Mini Project: Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant Design

Problem Statement:
Today many people are suffering with various diseases in many villages, towns and
cities because of air pollution, water contamination and waste water discharged
directly into streams, rivers etc. without treatment is one of the parameter
polluting the environment. This waste water contaminates ground water and also
the water flowing down the stream or river .
This contaminated water causes so many problems for human health and aquatic
life. So the waste water should be treated before discharging into stream or rivers.
And the treated water can be used for parks, growing of trees etc. which reduces
the demand of water in water scarcity areas. If the quantity of sewage is too high
or it contain large amount of waste elements it will create dirty scene at the site
as well as nuisances and unhygienic smells.
If the excessive quantity of sewage is mixed with the natural water course, the
water becomes septic and totally unfit for other use. To reduce the strength of
sewage we need to go for treatment process.
The objective of the treatment units is to reduce the solids from the sewage and
remove all the nuisance causing elements and change the character of sewage in
such a way that it can safely discharged for use. The project focuses on the
improvement of quality of water discharged from the town by characterizing the
properties of water by performing lab tests for turbidity , pH, B.O.D. , D.O., etc.
And also designing an efficient sewage treatment plant including all the
components necessary to make the waste water reusable.
Objective:
1. The main objective of the sewage treatment plant is to dispose off the waste in
such away that there is no harm to mankind.
2. Before planning and designing the STP ,proper characterization of the waste
water is carried out in lab.
[Link] following properties are determined for the samples taken at two different
times: pH, Turbidity, B.O.D, D.O, Suspended Solids, Chlorides.
