3. Introduction-
Wastewater, is any water that has
been negatively impacted by
human use.
Wastewater is a result of domestic,
industrial, commercial
or agricultural activities.
Municipal wastewater can also be
called sewage.
The term is justified because water
used in household sinks and
appliances is combined with water
used in toilets.
5. Why treat wastewater ?
To remove pollutants from waste water
for its recycling.
To promote health concern and Public
hygiene.
To preserve aquatic life and wildlife
habitat.
To promote recreation and quality of life.
8. Preliminary Treatment
Removal of waste water constituents such as
rags, sticks, floatable grit, and grease that may
cause maintenance or operational problem with
the treatment operations, processes, and
ancil1ary systems.
11. Secondary Treatment
Removal of biodegradable organic matter(insoluble or
suspension state) and suspended solids.
Disinfection is also typically included in the definition of
conventional secondary treatment
12. Secondary treatment consists
of following processes.
1
• Activated
Sludge
Process
2
• Oxidation
Ponds and
lagoons
3
• Trickling
Filter
13. Tertiary Treatment
Removal of residual suspended solids (after
secondary treatment), usually by granular
medium filtration or micro screens.
Disinfection is also typically a part of tertiary
treatment. Nutrient removal is often included in
this definition.
14. Tertiary treatment consists of
following processes and units.
Membrane
Filtration and
Separation
Dechlorination
and Disinfection
Systems
Reverse Osmosis
(RO) Systems
Ion Exchange
Physical/Chemical
Treatment

resources planning:-
Negative impacts-
Damage to fish and wild life.
Due to extinction of species of flora and fauna
change in ecology.
