1. INTRODUCTION
AIM:
[4]
Sewage treatment is a type of wastewater treatment which aims
to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is
suitable for discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended
reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage
discharges. Sewage contains wastewater from households and
businesses and possibly pre-treated industrial wastewater. There are a
high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from. These can
range from decentralized systems to large centralized systems involving
a network of pipes and pump stations which convey the sewage to a
treatment plant.
CHALLENGES:
One of the challenges of sewage treatment is that the volume and
physical, chemical, a limited quantity of pollutants and biological
characteristics of sewage continually change. Some changes are the
temporary results of seasonal, monthly, weekly or daily fluctuations in
the sewage volume and composition. Other changes are long-term,
being the results of alterations in local populations, social
characteristics, economies, and industrial production or technology.

5.LABORATORY TESTING DURING CONSTRUCTION OF STP
5.1 Compressive Strength of Concrete -Cube Test
[7]
The compressive strength of the concrete cube test
provides an idea about all the characteristics of concrete. By
this single test one judge that whether Concreting has been
done properly or not.
For cube test specimen used cubes of 150mm x 150mm
x150mm.
The compression testing machine is used for testing the
compressive strength of concrete.
[8]
5.1.3 Procedure for Concrete Cube Test
1. Remove the specimen from the water after specified curing time
and wipe out excess water from the surface.
2. Clean the bearing surface of the testing machine.
3. Place the specimen in the machine in such a manner that the load
shall be applied to the opposite sides of the cube cast.
4. Align the specimen centrally on the base plate of the machine.
5. Rotate the movable portion gently by hand so that it touches the
top surface of the specimen.
6. Apply the load gradually without shock and continuously at the
rate of 140 kg/cm2/minute till the specimen fails
7. Record the maximum load and note any unusual features in the
type of failure.

5.2.3 Procedure
[12]
5.3.1 PROCEDURE:
1. Clean the container, dry it and weigh it with the lid (Weight
‘W1’).
2. Take the required quantity of the wet soil specimen in the
container and weight it with the lid (Weight ‘W2’).
3. Place the container, with its lid removed, in the oven till its
weight becomes constant (Normally for 24hrs.).
4. When the soil has dried, remove the container from the oven,
using tongs.
Find the weight ‘W3’ of the container with the lid and the dry
soil sample.
5.3.2 RESULTS:
[13]
such levels that the sewage may flow from one unit to the
other by gravity only.
3. The general slope of the site should be the lowest level area
of the town or city that the sewage from the entire town or
city can be collected and conveyed by gravity only.
4. The location of site should be appropriate with respect to the
method of sewage treatment to be adopted for the project.
5. The location of the site should be such that enough area is
available nearby when it becomes necessary in future to
expand the existing project.
6. The proximity of water course near the site or enough waste
land for irrigation will be considered as an advantage.
7. The site should be safe from floods for all the time.
8. The site should be situated on the leeward side of wind so
that the undesirable odours will be prevented from entering
the town or city.
9. The site should not be, as far as possible, far away from the
city or town.
[14]
7. SURVEYING INSTRUMENTS USED DURING CONSTRICTION
8. ANALYSES PARAMETERS
The sewage water samples are taken after treatment with the
sewage treatment plant and the following parameters are analysed:
8.1 pH VALVE
[15]
calibrate the pH pen (i.e. pH= 7.00). After the pH pen is calibrated, the
pen accepts the value of pH equal to 7.00. After calibrating the pH pen,
it is then dipped into the sample of sewage water. The pH is completed
when the pH pen shows a stable reading. After this the value of the pH
is recorded.
[16]
8.4 CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND
[17]
8.6 ALKALINITY
Alkalinity can be defined as the ability of a water to neutralize
acid or to absorb hydrogen ions. It is the sum of all acid neutralizing
bases. In municipal waste water the factors that contribute to alkalinity
include type of dissolved inorganic and organic compounds present in
the water, the amount of suspended organic matter in the water. To
determine the alkalinity of sewage water the following procedure is
followed in the plant.
9. TREATMENT OPTIONS
[18]
3) UASB followed by short detention Aerated Lagoon
4) Figurative Aerated Lagoon
[19]
This option consists of the following treatment units:
1. Inlet Chamber
2. Fine screens
3. Detractor tank
4. Primary clarifier
5. Aeration tanks
6. Secondary clarifiers
7. Sludge Pumping Stations
8. Filtration Pumping Stations
9. Digester, and
10. Sludge Drying Beds
[20]
sedimentation basin is necessary. Anaerobic bacteria are developed in
the reactor and are kept in the biological reaction compartments for
sufficient time. Organic compounds present in the waste water are
absorbed on the sludge particles in the reaction zone during its passage
through the smidge bed. Organic compounds there after get an
aerobically biodegraded converting it into methane-enriched biogas and
a small part into the new bacterial mass. Biomass consists of Methane
CH. Carbon Dioxide CO₂.
UASB alone cannot achieve desired results in terms of effluent
discharge standards pre described for BOD and TSS hence a simple post
treatment in the form of Facultative type of Aerated Lagoon is
considered after UASB reactors.
[21]
10. PROCESS UNIT
10.1 Inlet
The waste water enters the STP through the inlet pipe having a
dimension of 1800mm. The influent waste water enters into the STP
through the inlet. As the capacity of the STP is limited to 30MLD the
excess water which enters the inlet is diverted through the by-pass
sewer.
[22]
are mechanically cleaned. Standby facility for the 50% of the flow is
provided for the screening operation.
The waste water entering which enters through the inlet under
the gravity flow is pumped into the inlet chamber using Main Pumping
Station. The MPS generally consist of 11 submersible pumps which
raises the waste water along with the sewage to the inlet chamber. A
single raising pump having a pipe of 800 mm with a non return valve is
also provided to feed the sewage to the inlet of the STP.
[23]
Screening is an essential step in sewage treatment to remove
large size floating particles like wooden pieces, rags, plastics, tobacco
pouches, etc, which otherwise damages pumps and interface with the
satisfactory operation of various treatment units. Screen channel
consists of interface with the satisfactory operation of various treatment
units. Screen channel consists of bars placed across the channel to trap
the floating particles. The spacing of the bars is kept depending upon
the type of the degree of treatment required. The plant consists of three
fine screens (2 working and 1 stand by) which are run through hydraulic
system. These fine screens are generally made of stainless steel and
have a perforated opening of 6mm with thickness of the plates being
1mm the fine screens also consist of a conveyor similar to coarse
serene which conveys the collected particles to another place.

The construction vision is not only limited to beauty of the
residential, industrial plans but is also environmentally friendly. This
visit gave us the knowledge about the purification of sewage water on a
large scale. We came to know about the importance of the purification
of water which was carried out at the plant under various process.
Proper design, engineering, operation and maintenance are absolutely
imperative for successful and satisfactory.
Performance of the treatment plant. Each and every unit in the
plant performed at its optimal and most efficient design for overall
satisfactory of the treatment plant. Each and every unit in the plant is
directly or indirectly related to other units.
