What is Efflunt ?
Types of Effluent
 Industrial wastewater treatment 
covers the mechanisms and 
processes used to treat waters that 
have been contaminated in some 
way by anthropogenic industrial or 
commercial activities prior to its 
release into the environment or its 
re-use.
 Agricultural waste 
 Iron and steel industry 
 Mines and quarries 
 Food industry 
 Complex organic chemicals industry 
 Nuclear industry
o It includes physical, chemical, and biological 
processes to remove physical, chemical and 
biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce 
an environmentally-safe fluid waste stream (or 
treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) 
suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm 
fertilizer). Using advanced technology it is now 
possible to re-use sewage effluent for drinking water, 
although Singapore is the only country to implement 
such Sewage treatment, or domestic wastewater 
treatment, is the process of removing contaminants 
from wastewater and household sewage, both runoff 
(effluents) and domestic technology on a production 
scale in its production of NEW Water.
Origins of Sewage
•Process Overview
 Pre Treatmant 
 Screening 
 Grit Removel 
 Flow Equalization 
 Fat & Greas Removel 
 Primary Treatment 
 Secondary Treatment 
 Tertiary Treatment
Pre-treatment removes materials 
that can be easily collected from the 
raw waste water before they 
damage or clog the pumps and 
skimmers of primary treatment 
clarifiers (trash, tree limbs, leaves, 
etc.).
The influent sewage water is screened to remove all large 
objects like cans, rags, sticks, plastic packets etc. carried in 
the sewage stream. This is most commonly done with an 
automated mechanically raked bar screen in modern plants 
serving large populations, whilst in smaller or less modern 
plants a manually cleaned screen may be used. The raking 
action of a mechanical bar screen is typically paced 
according to the accumulation on the bar screens and/or 
flow rate. The solids are collected and later disposed in a 
landfill or incinerated. Bar screens or mesh screens of 
varying sizes may be used to optimize solids removal. If 
gross solids are not removed they become entrained in 
pipes and moving parts of the treatment plant and can 
cause substantial damage and inefficiency in the process.
Pre-treatment may include a sand or grit 
channel or chamber where the velocity of the 
incoming wastewater is adjusted to allow the 
settlement of sand, grit, stones, and broken 
glass. These particles are removed because 
they may damage pumps and other 
equipment. For small sanitary sewer systems, 
the grit chambers may not be necessary, but 
grit removal is desirable at larger plants.
Clarifiers and mechanized secondary treatment are more 
efficient under uniform flow conditions. Equalization 
basins may be used for temporary storage of diurnal or 
wet-weather flow peaks. Basins provide a place to 
temporarily hold incoming sewage during plant 
maintenance and a means of diluting and distributing 
batch discharges of toxic or high-strength waste which 
might otherwise inhibit biological secondary treatment 
(including portable toilet waste, vehicle holding tanks, and 
septic tank pumpers). Flow equalization basins require 
variable discharge control, typically include provisions for 
bypass and cleaning, and may also include aerators. 
Cleaning may be easier if the basin is downstream of 
screening and grit removal.
In some larger plants, fat and grease is 
removed by passing the sewage 
through a small tank where skimmers 
collect the fat floating on the surface. 
Air blowers in the base of the tank may 
also be used to help recover the fat as 
froth. Many plants, however, use 
primary clarifiers with mechanical 
surface skimmers for fat and grease 
removal.
 Primary treatment consists of 
temporarily holding the sewage in a 
quiescent basin where heavy solids 
can settle to the bottom while oil, 
grease and lighter solids float to the 
surface. The settled and floating 
materials are removed and the 
remaining liquid may be discharged 
or subjected to secondary treatment.
 Secondary treatment removes dissolved and 
suspended biological matter. Secondary 
treatment is typically performed by 
indigenous, water-borne micro-organisms in a 
managed habitat. Secondary treatment may 
require a separation process to remove the 
micro-organisms from the treated water prior 
to discharge or tertiary treatment.
Tertiary treatment is sometimes defined as 
anything more than primary and secondary 
treatment in order to allow rejection into a 
highly sensitive or fragile ecosystem (estuaries, 
low-flow rivers, coral reefs,...). Treated water is 
sometimes disinfected chemically or physically 
(for example, by lagoons and microfiltration) 
prior to discharge into a stream, river, bay, 
lagoon or wetland, or it can be used for the 
irrigation of a golf course, green way or park. If 
it is sufficiently clean, it can also be used for 
groundwater recharge
In general, activated sludge plants 
encompass a variety of mechanisms and 
processes that use dissolved oxygen to 
promote the growth of biological floc 
that substantially removes organic 
material. 
The process traps particulate material 
and can, under ideal conditions, convert 
ammonia to nitrite and nitrate 
ultimately to nitrogen gas.
I. Nutrient removal 
II. Nitrogen removal 
III. Phosphorus removal
 One type of system that combines secondary 
treatment and settlement is the sequencing 
batch reactor (SBR). Typically, activated sludge 
is mixed with raw incoming sewage, and then 
mixed and aerated. The settled sludge is run off 
and re-aerated before a proportion is returned 
to the headworks.SBR plants are now being 
deployed in many parts of the world.
 The sludges accumulated in a wastewater 
treatment process must be treated and 
disposed of in a safe and effective manner. The 
purpose of digestion is to reduce the amount of 
organic matter and the number of disease-causing 
microorganisms present in the solids. 
The most common treatment options include 
anaerobic digestion, aerobic digestion, and 
composting. Incineration is also used albeit to a 
much lesser degree.
 Oxidation ponds, which are aerobic bodies of 
water usually 1–2 meters in depth that receive 
effluent from sedimentation tanks or other 
forms of primary treatment. 
 Dominated by algae 
 Polishing ponds are similar to oxidation ponds 
but receive effluent from an oxidation pond or 
from a plant with an extended mechanical 
treatment. 
 Dominated by zooplankton
