Primary treatment devices are referred to as sedimentation tanks, primary tanks, primary clarifiers or primary settling tanks, some of which have the further function of providing an additional compartment for the decomposition of settled organic solids which is known as sludge digestion.
Secondary wastewater treatment is the second stage of wastewater treatment that takes place after the primary treatment process. The process consists of removing or reducing contaminants or growths that are left in the wastewater from the primary treatment process. Usually biological treatment is used to treat wastewater in this step because it is the most effective type of treatment on bacteria, or contaminant, growth.
Tertiary treatment is the next wastewater treatment process after secondary treatment. This step removes stubborn contaminants that secondary treatment was not able to clean up. Wastewater effluent becomes even cleaner in this treatment process through the use of stronger and more advanced treatment systems.

Designed For Combined Common Effluent Treatment Plant Of Tarapur Midcvivatechijri
The population growth in India is immense. Accordingly, the water supply amount is enormous which,
in return generates large amounts of wastewater. One such region is the Palghar Boisar region whose population
growth according to calculations will sky rocket. But the amount of sewage treatment plants present is only one for
a particular area. So, to combat this we decided to construct another Sewage treatment plant per another area. In
this project we will discuss the population growth of the region, design parameters, the method selection for
design, introduction and the complete design of a sewage treatment plant for Tarapur MIDC. The treatment
procedure has been developed to treat sewage and reuse the water for various purposes like water to gardening,
toilet flushing, farming and other requirements for Sewage treatment plant, Tarapur MIDC.

Industrial waste water is a type of waste water produced by industrial activity, such as that of factories, mills and mines.
It is characterised by its large volume, high temperature, high concentration of biodegradable organic matter and suspended solids, high alkanity or acidity and by variations of flow.
The treatment of wastes by micro-organisms is called biological waste treatment.
Wastewater treatment by vermi filtration technologyvivatechijri
Vermifiltration units are sludge-free, noise-free and low- or no-electricity-requiring systems of
operation. The aim of this study was to emphasize wastewater treatment by vermifiltration technology using
waste-eater earthworms to highlight the benefits of clean and nutritive vermifiltered water (vermiaqua) uses in
agriculture to the farmers. They work on natural capacity of earthworms to treat wastewater from different
sources. In view of rising concern about pollution of water bodies due to discharge of waste in them, it is
necessary to initiate alternative thinking as conventional methods through STPs (Sewage treatment Plants) have
had limited success. In recent years the application of specifically designed filtration based technology
(popularly known as Vermifiltration technology) for treatment of wastewater municipal, urban and agricultural,
is becoming widely acceptable. It treats the wastewater in natural manner without the use of chemicals. In
short, Vermifiltration technology is an improved filtration system for treatment of wastewater. The main
objective of present research work is to provide and popularize a simple, feasible, practically sound, ecofriendly and cost effective technology for wastewater treatment. Vermifiltration technology is such a type of
system, which reduces the impact of sewage and converts into useful water for gardening and irrigation
purpose.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

mainly used in deep pits ahead of pumps.
9. Define Communicators?
Comminutes or shredders are the patented
devices, which break the larger sewage solids to about 6
mm in size. When the sewage is screened through them
such devices are used only in developed countries like
USA.
10. What is meant by Screening?
The material separated by screens is called the
screenings. It contains 85 to 90% of mixture and other
floating matter. It may also contain some organic load
which may putrefy, lacing bad smells and nuisance.
11. What are the methods adopted for disposal of
screenings?
1) Burning
2) Burial
3) Dumping
Burning of the screenings is done in the incinerators
Burial: The process is technically called composting
Another method of disposing of the screening is by
dumping them in low lying areas (away from the
residential areas) or in large bodies of water such as sea.
12. Define Grit Chamber?
Grit chambers, also called or grit channels or grit
basins, are intended to remove the inorganic particles
(specific graving about 2.65) such as sand, graver, grit,

18. Define the term Displacement efficiency?
The ratio of the “Flowing through period” to the
“detention period” is called the displacement efficiency.
19. What is meant by principle of sedimentation?
The turbulence is retarded by offering storage to
sewage these impurities tend to settle down at the
bottom of the tank offering such storage. This is the
principle of sedimentation.

PART – B
1. Explain classification of Treatment processes?
Sewage before being disposed of either in river
streams or on land has generally to be treated. So as to
make it safe
Sewage can be treated in difference ways
treatment process are often classified as
1) Preliminary treatment
2) Primary treatment
3) Secondary or (biological) treatment
4) Complete final treatment
Preliminary treatment:
Preliminary treatment consists solely in separating
the floating materials (Like dead animals, tree branches,
papers, pieces of rags, wood etc) and also the heavy
settle able inorganic solids.
It also helps in removing the oils and greases etc.
From the sewage this treatment reduces the BOD of the
waste water, by about 15 to 30%.
The process used are screening for removing
floating papers, rags, clothes etc.
Grit chambers or detritus tanks: For removing grit and
sand
Slimming tanks: For removing oils and greases.
Primary Treatment
Primary treatment consists in removing large
suspended organic solids. This is usually this is usually
accomplished by sedimentation on settling basins.
The liquid effluent from primary treatment often
contains a large amount of suspended organic material
and has a high BOD about (60% of original).
The original solids which are separated out in the
sedimentation tanks (in primary treatment) are often
stabilized by an anaerobic decomposition in a digestion
tanks or are incinerated.
Sometimes the preliminary as well as primary
treatments are classified to gather under primary
treatment.
Secondary treatment
Secondary treatment involves further treatment of
the efficient, coming from the primary sedimentation tank.
This is generally accomplished through biological
decomposition of organic matter, which can be carried
out either under aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
In these biological units, bacteria will decompose
the fine organic matter, to produce cleaner effluent.
www.vidyarthiplus.com
6. VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH
VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH
The treatment reactors, in which the organic
matter is decomposed (oxidized) by aerobic bacteria are
known as aerobic biological units; and may consists of
(i) Filters (intermittent sand filters as well
as trick long filters).
(ii) Aeration tanks with the feed of recycled
activated sludge (i.e., the sludge which I
settled in secondary sedimentation tank,
receiving effluents from the aeration
tank)
(iii) Exudation ponds and Aerated legions.
Since the there aerobic units, generally
make use of primary settled sewage,
they are early classified as secondary
units.
The effluent from the secondary biological
treatment will usually contain a little BOD (5 to 10% of the
original). The organic solids sledge separated out in the
primary as wells as in the secondary settling tank will be
disposed of by stabilizing them under anaerobic process
in a sludge digestion tank.
The final or advanced Treatment
Thus treatment is sometimes called tertiary
treatment, and consists in removing the organic local left
after the secondary treatment, and particularly to kill the
pathogence bacteria. Thus treatment, which is normally
carried out by chlorination
Shows diagrammatic sketches of some standard
types of sewage treatment plants
2. Describe the types of screens with need sketch.
Screening is the very first operation carried out at
a sewage treatment plant, so as to trap and remove the
floating matter, such as pieces of cloth, paper, wood
cork, hair, fiber, kitchen refuge, fecal solids etc present in
sewage.
Thus, the main idea of providing screens it to
protect the pumps and other equipments from the
possible damages due to the floating matter of the
sewage.
Types of screens depending upon the size of the
openings and screens may be classified as
1) Coarse screen
2) Medium screens
3) Fine screens
Coarse Screen:
It is also known as racks and the spacing between
the bars (i.e., opening size) is about 50 mm or more.
These screens do help in removing large floating objects
from sewage. The material separated by coarse
screens, usually consists of rags, wood, paper etc.
www.vidyarthiplus.com
7. VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH
VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH
Medium Screen:
The spacing between bars a about 6 to 40 mm.
These screens will ordinarily collect 30 to 90 lit of
material per million liter of sewage. The screenings
usually contain some quantity of organic material may be
dispersed of by incineration of burial.
Rectangular Shaped coarse and medium screens
are now – a – days widely used at sewage treatment
plants.
Now – a – days these screens are generally kept
inclined at about 30 to 60 to the direction of flow, so as
to increase the opening area and to reduce the flow
velocity and there making the screening more effective.
Fine Screens:
Have perforations of 1.5mm to 3mm in size. The
installation of there screens prove very effective and they
remove as much as 20% of the suspended solids from
sewage. These screens, however, get clogged very
often, and need frequent cleaning. They are, therefore,
used only for treating the industrial waste waters or for
treating those municipal waste wasters, which are
associated with heavy amounts of industrial wastewaters.
These screens will considerably reduce the load on
further treatment units.
Brasses of Bronze plates or wire mesh are
generally used for constructing fine screens. The metal
used to should be resistant to rest and corrosion.
Find screens may be disc or drum type, and are
operated continuously by electric motor (Figure S.K.G Fig
no 277)

Hence a coarse screen of 1.2m2
area is required
while deigning the screen, we have also to design its
cleaning.
Frequency:
The cleaning frequency is governed by the head
loss through the screen. The more the screen opening
are clogged, more will be the head loss through the
screen generally not more than half the screen clogging
is allowed to know whether the screen has been clogged
and needs cleaning.
The hL through the cleaning screen and half
cleaned screen, can be completed as follows
Velocity through the screen = 0.8 m/sec
Velocity above the screen =
0.8 5 m
sec6
= 0.67 m/sec
Head less through the screen = 0.7929(V2
– u2
)
= 0.7929 (0.82 – 0.672
)
= 0.0134 ray 0.013 m
When the screen openings get half clogged then the
velocity through the screen
V = 0.8 x 2 = 1.6 m/sec
Head loss =0.0729(1.62
– 0.672
)
= 0.1538 say 0.15m
This shows that when the screens are totally
clean, the head loss is negligible is about 1.3cm only
where as, the hL shoots up to about 15 cm at half the
clogging. The screens should therefore be cleaned
frequently as to keep the head loss within the allowable
range.

Length of the tank = Vh x detention tome
= 0.3 x 50
= 15m
Hence, use a rectangular tank with dimensions
Length (L) = 15m
Width (B) = 0.4m
Depth (b) = 1.0m
5. Design a suitable grit chamber cum dexterities for
a sewage treatment plant getting a dry weather flow
from a separate sewerage system @ 400 l/s. Assume
the flow velocity through the tank as 0.2 m/s and
detention period of 2 minutes the maximum flow may
be assumed to be three times of dry weather flow.

The length of the tank
= Velocity X Detention time
= 0.2 X (2 X 60) = 24 m
Now assuming that each detritus tank is designed for
passing D.W.F, we have
The discharge passing through each tank

Assuming the water depth in the tank to be 1.2 m, we

= 1.67 m
Say 1.7 m
Hence, use a nitrites tank with 24 m X 1-7 m X 1.2
m size At the top, a free-board of 0.3 m may be provided,
and at the bottom a dead space depth of 0.45 m for
collection of detritus may be provided.
Thus, the overall depth of the tank = 1.2 + 0.3 + 0.45
= 1.95 m
The tank will be 1.7 wide up to 1.5 m depth, and
then the sides will slope down to form an elongated
through of 24 m length and 0.8 m width at the bottom
with rounded corners, as shown in figure.
Detritus tanks:
Detritus tanks are nothing but grit chambers
designed to flow with a smaller flow velocity (of about
0.09 m/s) and longer detention periods (about 3 to 4 mini)
so as to separate out not only the larger grit etc., but also
to separate out the very fine sand particles etc.
6. Design a grit chamber for a horizontal velocity of
25 cm/sec and a flow which ranges from a minimum
of 25000 cu-m/day to a maximum of 1,00,000 cu-m
/day. Average flow is 62500 cu-m/days. Using

7. Describe the skimming tanks with neat sketch?
Skimming tanks are sometimes employed for
removing oil and greeve from the sewage and placed
before the sedimentation tanks. They are, therefore used
where sewage contains too much of grease or oils which
include fats, wakes, soaps, fatty acids.
If such greasy and oily matter is not removed from
the sewage before if enters further treatment units, it may
form unsightly and odourous scums on the surface of the
settling tanks or interfere with the activated sludge
treatment process.
These oil and greasy materials may be removed in
a skimming tank, in which air is blown by an aerating
device through the bottom the rising air tens to coagulate
and longeal. (solidify) the grease and cause it to rise to
the surface (being pushed in separate compartments)
from where it is removed.
The typical details of a skimming tank as shown

VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH VEL TECH VEL MULTIMEDIA VEL HIGHTECH
It consists of a long trough shaped structures
divided into two or three lateral compartments by means
of vertical baffle walls (having slots in them) for a short
distance below the sewage surface as shown. The baffle
walls help in pushing the rising coagulated greasy
material into side compartments (called stilling
compartments) the rise of oils and grease is brought
above by blowing compressed air into the sewage from
diffusers placed at the bottom of the tank.
The collected greasy materials are removed (i.e.
skimmed off) either by hand or by some mechanical
equipment. It may then be disposed of either by burning
or burial.
A detention period of about 3 to 5 min is usually
sufficient, and t he amount of compressed air required is
about 300 to 6000 m3
per million lit of sewate.
