GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Biochemical Oxygen demand (BOD): The strength of the wastewater is often determined by measuring the
amount of oxygen consumed by microorganism like bacteria in biodegrading the organic matter. The
measurement is known as the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Microorganisms such as bacteria are
responsible for decomposing organic waste. When organic matter such as dead plants, leaves, grass
clippings, cellulose components, manure, sewage, organic waste like dyes, fats and oils, or even food waste
is present in a water supply, the bacteria will begin the process of breaking down this waste. When this
happens, bacteria in aerobic processes, robbing other aquatic organisms of the oxygen they need to live,
consume much of the available dissolved oxygen. If there is a large quantity of organic waste in the water
supply, there will also be a lot of bacteria present working to decompose this waste. In this case, the demand
for oxygen will be high (due to all the bacteria) so the BOD level will be high. As the waste is consumed or
dispersed through the water, BOD levels will begin to decline.
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): This is a means of measuring the ability of wastewater to sustain
aquatic life, essential for the preservation of the environment. It also enables proper assessment of treatment
plant performance. Aquatic organisms and animals require dissolved oxygen to flourish. The Chemical
Oxygen Demand (COD) test gives an indication of the impact of discharge waters on aquatic life by
measuring the oxygen depleting nature of the discharge water. COD is since nearly all-organic compounds
can be fully oxidized to carbon dioxide with a strong oxidizing agent under acidic conditions. COD is another
common measure of water-borne organic substances — the process of measuring COD causes the
conversion of all organic matter into carbon dioxide. For this reason, one limitation of COD is that it cannot
differentiate between biologically active and those which are biologically inactive. One major advantage of
COD over BOD is that COD can be measured in just three hours whereas BOD measurement takes at least
five days. The value of COD is always higher than BOD, this is because BOD accounts for only
biodegradable organic compounds while COD accounts for all organic compounds e.g. biodegradable as
well as no biodegradable but chemically oxidizable.

Total suspended Solids (TSS): TSS is mainly organic in nature, are visible and can be removed from the
wastewater by physical/ mechanical means e.g. screening and sedimentation. TSS is measured by filtering a
certain quantity of effluent and then drying the filtration at certain temperature e.g. 105 0C followed by
weighing. TSS is expressed as parts per million or in milligram/liter. The pore size of the filter paper is very
important in estimating the TSS, the nominal pore size 1.58 micrometer.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Dissolved solids generally pass through the unaffected system. TDS is the
sum of all of the dissolved matter in a given body of water. It is everything in the water that's not actually
water. It includes hardness, alkalinity, cyanuric acid, chlorides, bromides, sulfates, silicates, and all manners
of organic compounds. Every time we add anything to the water; we are increasing its TDS. This includes not
only sanitizing and pH adjusting chemicals, but also conditioner, algaecides, and tile and surface cleaners.
TDS also includes airborne pollutants and bather waste as well as dissolved minerals in the fill water. TDS is
referred to as the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a
given volume of water, and is expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L), or as parts per
million (ppm).TDS is directly related to the purity of water and the quality of water purification systems and
affects everything that consumes, lives in, or uses water, whether organic or inorganic, whether for better or
for worse.
Microorganisms - Microscopic living objects, which require energy, carbon and small amounts of inorganic
elements to grow and multiply. They get these requirements from the wastewater and the sun, and in doing
so help to remove the pollutants.
pH – A term used to express the intensity of the acid or alkalinity source. pH represents the effective
concentration (activity) of hydrogen ions (H+) in water. This concentration could be expressed in the same
kind of units as other dissolved species, but H+ concentrations are much smaller than other species in most
waters. The activity of hydrogen ions can be expressed most conveniently in logarithmic units. pH is defined
as the negative logarithm of the activity of H+ ions: pH = -log [H+]
Where [H+] is the concentration of H+ ions in moles per liter (a mole is a unit of measurement, equal to 6.022
x 1023 atoms). Because H+ ions are associated with water molecules to form hydronium (H 3O+) ions, pH is
often expressed in terms of the concentration of hydronium ions. In pure water at 22 O C (72O F), H3O+ and

hydroxyl (OH-) ions exist in equal quantities; each concentration is 1.0 x 10 -7 moles per liter (mol/L).
Therefore, pH of pure water = -log (1.0 x 10 -7) = -(-7.00) = 7.00. Because pH is defined as –log [H +], pH
decreases as [H+] increases (which will happen if acid is added to the water). Since pH is a log scale based
on 10, the pH changes by 1 for every power of 10 change in [H +]. A solution of pH 3 has an H + concentration
10 times that of a solution of pH 4. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. However, pH values less than 0 and
greater than 14 have been observed in very rare, concentrated solutions.
Sludge-The settle able solids separated from the liquid during sedimentation (clarification). The sludge being
chemical in nature is toxic and needs to be dealt with very carefully. Under no circumstances it should be mix
with the environment again.

Chapter 1: Introduction
M/s. Dyna Glycols Pvt. Ltd,, At Plot No. 288-B, sector no IV designing the Effluent Treatment Plant. The
scope of work for effluent treatment plant is tret the raw effluent.
Every effluent treatment plant is unique with respect to its process flow sheet. This is because the treatment
scheme is adopted on the basis of design and input characteristics of the effluent as well as the stipulated
pollution level of the treatment. This in turn depends on the type of process, type of generated waste,
whether the treated waste will be discharged or recycled, the nature of water receiving body where the
treated waste will be discharged (if any) and the pollution laws of the concerned pollution authority.
The current effluent generation of the industry is in the range of 15-20 KL per day . The operating manual
serves as an important guideline for the operating personnel responsible for the start- up and maintenance of
the equipment and facilities provided in the plant. The instruction presents in this manual are based on the
experience in operation of such plants. However, due to variable nature of the effluents encountered in plant,
certain modification of process operation may be necessary depending on the degree of variation in the raw
effluent quality and quantity. This manual includes a brief description of the basis of design of the ETP, the
adopted treatment philosophy and the principles of treatment involved.

The fate of the above mentioned pollutant vary, ranging from 100% retention to 100% discharge with the
effluent. Generally, Chemical industry generates wastewater possessing various level of toxicity. Such
industry uses fair amounts of water, mainly because of process, and domestic operations. If these
wastewaters are discharged into the environment they will cause serious and harmful impact not only on
under ground and surface water bodies and land in the surrounding area but also will have an adverse effect
on the aquatic ecological system. The effluents having the colour, which increases the turbidity of water
body.
The pollution level of wastewater is expressed in terms of pH, BOD, COD, TSS & oil & grease of the
discharging effluent. Temperature of stream is also important parameter because at higher temperature the
rate of transfer of gaseous oxygen into dissolved oxygen is reduced. Effluents generated from the
Pharmaceuticals industry are highly polluted. The ETP is designed in such a way so that if the factory need
to expansion in production without change in processing nature, even then the Effluent Treatment Plant will
be able to handle the treatment efficiency without any problem.

As was mentioned the method of treatment of wastewater varies a lot. It mainly depends on the
characteristics of effluent, volume of effluent, level of toxicity to be removed and the type of environment to
receive the effluent. The treatment process that has been adopted for the Effluent Treatment Plant installed
at the M/s. DYNA Glycols Pvt Ltd, At Plot No 268-B, Sector No. IV th , is known as physic-chemical and
followed by biological and Tertiary treatment
The physical chemical process removes a substantial part of all the parameters shown in table 3.4. The
various stages of the plant treatment procedure are elaborated as follows. Biological process reduce
Maximum amount of COD, BOD. After biological treatment the effluent is collected in Clar settler which
separates solids & liquids by settling & passed through sand it filters suspended partials in effluent and finally
though the activated carbon filters. The activated carbon filter is highly successful in removing color & odor
content of the effluent.
4.1.1 Oil & Grease trap – To separate out the oil, grease & other floating material.
All the above processes contribute to reducing of substantial amount of all the polluting parameters.
4. 2. SECONDARY TREATMENT
The biological treatment is responsible for reducing of the rest of the BOD and COD as well. The biological
treatment is carried out by in the biological tank.

6.1. PRIMARY-TREATMENT :-
6.1.1 Collection cum Neutralization Tank :-
The collection tanks are two in numbers to facilitate fill & draw operation. For equalization and mixing
purpose air has been provided to the tank with the help of air blower, which helps to mix the effluent.
Besides, the air mixing accomplishes a proper equalization of both varying loading and fluctuating pH values.
The following benefits are derived from the flow equalization process;
1. Biological treatment is enhanced, as the shock loadings are eliminated or minimized, inhibiting substances
diluted, and pH stabilized.
2. Chemical treatment is improved if chemical dosing is controlled to provide consistent performance.
3. The effluent quality and thickening performance of secondary sedimentation units are improved through
constant solids loading.
4. Effluent surface area requirements are reduced, filter performance is better, and more uniform filter-
backwash cycles are possible.
Adequate quantity of polyelectrolyte polymer solution is dosed in the effluent via dosing system to enhance
the process of color removal by the flocculation process. A substantial amount BOD and COD etc. are
removed in the coagulation and flocculation process.
6.2 SECONDARY-TREATMENT :-
6.2.1 Biological Treatment (To reduce the remaining BOD / COD aerobically) :-
Bio reactor unit is biological treatment in which available organic matter degrades aerobically to reduce the
remaining BOD and COD aerobically. The biological treatment is designed on aeration principle. It enables
the bacteria to act upon the biodegradable matter in the effluent and reduce the BOD & COD content while
the rapid and turbulent movement of the effluent in the presence of oxygen. Diffused aeration system is
provided for the same. The chemical reactions that take place aeration tank can be defined according to the
following three processes;
A. Oxidation process :-
B. Synthesis Process :-
C. Endogenous Respiration :-
Apart from the above basics reaction there are some other reactions that take place in the aeration tanks.
During aeration the oxygen reacts with C, S and N which is shown below.
C + O2 CO2
S + O2 SO2
N + O2 NO2
The biological degradation process in enhanced by addition some Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and
UREA. It acts as food for the microorganism. Therefore it will be necessary to supply food for the bacteria.
Thus a combined solution of Urea and DAP are dosed in the biological tank to feed the bacteria.
6.2.2 Secondary Settling Tank - (To remove the biological solids generation.) :-
From the aeration tank effluent overflows to the Secondary Settling Tank, to remove the settle-able solids
generated Secondary Settling Tank. The effluent with activated biological sludge enters the Secondary
Settling Tank through a pipe to the launder, where it flows downwards and then outwards to launder. The
activated sludge settles at the bottom of the Secondary Settling Tank , where it collected in the center cone
of Secondary Settling Tank by gravity. The settled sludge continuously recirculated into the Aeration tank for
further degradation and excess sludge is pumped to the sludge drying beds. The supernatant of Secondary
Settling Tank overflow Collection tank.
From the Secondary settling tank effluent overflows to the Collection Tank, to collect the supernatant effluent
from Secondary settling tank. The collected effluent of Collection Tank pumps into Clarifier tank
From the Collection tank effluent pumps to the Clarifier Tank through a pipe to the Center feed well, where it
flows downwards and then outwards to launder. The Lime & Alum dosing is carried out at centre feed well
which also helps to reduce General Parameters of the effluent. The lime & Alum dosing system are placed
above the clarifier. The excess sludge is pumped to the sludge drying beds. Then effluent overflow into the
polishing tank for tertiary treatment.
The treated clear effluent from Clarifier Tank is collected in the polishing tank. From the polishing tank
effluent is pumped to the pressure sand filter at first and then through activated carbon filter.
The effluent from polishing tank is pumped to the pressure sand filter. The filtration takes place in the
downward mode. The filter is filled with a layer of graded sand media supported by a layer of graded gravel.
The suspended matters in the effluent are filtered out in this unit; the effluent is then flown into the activated
carbon filter. It is necessary to backwash the sand filter when required.
6.2.7 Activated Carbon Filter (To absorb the dissolved organic matter) :-
The treated and filtered effluent from the pressure sand filter flows into the activated carbon filter. In this unit
too, the feed flow is downward through a layer of granular activated carbon filter in which absorption of color
& odor also organics & inorganic element of the effluent are take place. It is necessary to backwash the
carbon filter when required.
The treated effluent samples emerging from the ACF are collected for analysis and after satisfactory analysis
report the treated effluent reuse for toilet flushing & floor washing also for gardening purpose.
The sludge generated in the Primary settling tanks and excess sludge from secondary settling tanks is taken
to a sludge drying bed. The water that has been separated from the sludge will be flown back to collection

The daily requirement of the ferric alum is calculated and shown in section 8.2. During preparing the dosing
solution of ferric alum 10% solution is prepared. In this regard the dosing tank, which is fitted with a motor
and stirrer, is at first filled with 100 litres of water. Now 10 kgs of ferric alum is added and stir the solution.
The stirring is continued for nearly 1 hour. After that the solution is ready for dosing in the neutralisation tank.
The daily requirement of the PE solution is calculated and show PE dosing tank is at first filled with 100 litres
of water. After that 25-30 gms of PE is added and the solution is stirred manually. The stirring should be
continuous. Poly electrolyte solution is ready for dosing in settling tank.
The requirement of the DAP and Urea is calculated. During preparing the dosing solution of DAP and Urea a
5% mixed solution is prepared for dosing. In this regard 100 litres of water. After that 5 kgs of DAP and stir
the solution. The stirring should be continued for half of an hour. After that the solution is ready for dosing in
the biological tank. Same procedure followed for the preparation of Urea solution.

If, in case, the bacteria of the reactor die for any reason like wrong acidity or alkalinity, nor aeration shock
load etc, in that case it will be necessary to seed the bacteria again. This has to be done by means of adding
5-10 tons of fresh cow dung as mentioned above. It is not very easy to detect the presence of bacteria in the
biological tank. By means of using a microscope it will only be possible to test the presence of bacteria in the
effluent. Apart from this by testing the BOD of the effluent before and after the biological reactor treatment it
will be possible to say whether there is any bacteria in the reactor or not. If the quantity of BOD is same
before and after the biological reaction then we can say that there are no bacteria to reduce the BOD. But, if
the BOD is getting reduced, after, treatment in the biological reactor then we can prove the presence of
bacteria in the biological tanks.
1. Drain the sludge settled at the bottom of the settler at periodic interval to avoid carry overflow of
sludge.

2. Solid level in the reactor very high, the settled solids (if any)
to be drained. The draining frequency can be ascertained
based on the site condition.
Low bacterial level in the reactor Seeding should be done preferably by using activated sludge
from an well-operated plant.
Note- The foaming problem usually occurs during start-up and is only temporary. If you are under starting up
do not be alarmed by it. To avoid the foaming problem deformers shall be used.

The requirements of various chemicals must be determined by means of jar test. It is strongly recommended
to conduct the jar test whenever any major changes occurs either in selection of process, dyes, or raw
material characteristics. Different process condition due to change of raw materials or change of brand of
dyes will lead to different types of effluent characteristics.

2. Than Allow to fill the Collection Cum Neutralization tank up to the level.
3. The effluent is then allowed in the collection tank. 2 Nos. tanks to facilitate method of fill and draw
operation. With help air blower air introduced into the collection cum neutralization tank for the
homogenous mixing of the effluent which helps to coagulate the settle-able solids.
4. The pH of the effluent is adjusted in the collection cum neutralization tank. It is necessary to check
the pH of the effluent at this stage and if the pH is above 7 then alum solution is dosed to bring down
the pH within a range of 6.5 to 9.5. Also dosing of lime, ferric alum is done.
5. The effluent is pumped to the inlet launder of settling tank. During this, polyelectrolyte and some
amount of alum is dosed in the effluent. Soon after dosing, the color of the effluent will be changed.
6. Samples are withdrawn for lab analysis and the chemical dosing is adjusted accordingly.
7. After neutralization tank the dissolved matters will form small flocks. Under this condition a
substantial amount of sludge will be accumulated at the bottom of this settler tank. Settling tank
equipped with tube media for the settlement of sludge. Accumulated sludge is drained from the
hopper bottom of settling tank.
8. The overflow of the effluent from the settling tank is connected to the launder of Bio reactor tank for
biological treatment. Sewage generated is pumped via the sewage transfer pumps to the aeration
tank for treatment.
9. The effluent is in the Biological reaction tank is acted upon by microorganisms like bacteria which
are seeded in Biological reaction tank. Nutrients (DAP & Urea) are dosed in for nursing
microorganisms like bacteria. Aeration is provided with help of diffused aeration system. At this stage
the remaining BOD/COD will be reduced. From the Biological reaction tank, the effluent enters into
the Secondary Settling Tank. This happens due to overflow.
10. As the effluent flows through the Secondary Settling Tank, the sludge generated during bio treatment
is settled at the hopper bottom of the tank.
11. The effluent with activated biological sludge enters the Secondary Settling Tank through a pipe to
launder, where it flows downwards and then outwards to launder.

12. The activated sludge settles at the bottom of the Secondary Settling tank, where it collected in the
center cone of Secondary Settling Tank by gravity.
13. The sludge recirculation line goes to the aeration tank and the overflow of effluent goes to Collection
tank. From collection tank effluent pumps through a pipe to the Center feed well of clarifier for further
treatment. The Lime & Alum dosing is carried out at center feed well which helps to reduce General
Parameters. Then effluent overflow into the polishing tank for tertiary treatment.
14. The effluent is then pumped to the pressure sand filter or Granular Media Filtration-to remove
carbonaceous BOD and nitrogenous and residual in solubilized phosphorous. This filter is also
useful to protect the downstream Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) from overloading by pollutants such
as particulates, organics.
15. The effluent is then pumped through the Activated Carbon Filter. Carbon adsorption is a proven
process in tertiary treatment for the processing biologically treated wastewaters, and is one of the
many processes used in the advanced treatment of wastewaters. The ACF is used to remove
relatively small quantities of refractory organics, as well as inorganic such as phenols, sulfides and
heavy metals remaining in an otherwise well-treated wastewater.
16. Samples are withdrawn periodically for lab analysis and checked for the parameters before
discharging to be under the MPCB limits.
17. The water at this stage is safe to be released into the environment and can be used for gardening,
flushing.
18. The sludge generated after drying in sludge beds is disposed off safely to CHWSTDF.
