This document provides an overview of primary and secondary wastewater treatment processes. It begins by defining wastewater treatment as applying technology to improve water quality. Primary treatment involves removing coarse solids and grit, while secondary treatment uses biological processes like activated sludge to further break down organic matter. The document then describes various primary and secondary treatment units and processes in detail, such as grit chambers, primary clarifiers, trickling filters, and biological nutrient removal. It concludes by discussing tertiary/advanced treatment options for removing additional contaminants.

Use of biotechnology in the treatment of municipal wastes and hazardousindust...Sijo A
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.
This content is benificial for the research and development purposes. Students and research scholars who they are eager to search for the conventional waste water treatment methods are look here.
Biotechnology in Microbiology- includes the how microbial associations are worked out in secondary treatment techniques like activated sludge process, trickling filters, rotating biological contractors, composting, bioremediation etc.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Introduction
Wastewater treatment consists of applying known technology to
improve or upgrade the quality of a wastewater
Wastewater treatment involves collecting the wastewater in a
central, segregated location (the Wastewater Treatment Plant) and
subjecting the wastewater to various treatment processes
The principal objective of wastewater treatment is generally to allow
human and industrial effluents to be disposed off without danger to
human health or unacceptable damage to the natural environment
With the current emphasis on environmental health and water
pollution issues, there is an increasing awareness of the need to
dispose of these wastewaters safely and beneficially
5. Conventional
wastewater treatment consists of a
combination of physical, chemical and biological processes
and operations to remove solids, organic matter and
sometimes, nutrients from wastewater.
General
terms used to describe different degrees of
treatment, in order of increasing treatment level, are
preliminary, primary, secondary, and tertiary and/or
advanced wastewater treatment.
In
some countries, disinfection to remove pathogens
sometimes follows the last treatment step
6. Preliminary treatment
The
objective of preliminary treatment is the removal of
coarse solids and other large materials often found in raw
wastewater
Preliminary
treatment operations typically include coarse
screening, grit removal and, in some cases, comminution
of large objects
In
grit chambers, the velocity of the water through the
chamber is maintained sufficiently high, or air is used, so
as to prevent the settling of most organic solids
Comminutors
are sometimes adopted to supplement
coarse screening and serve to reduce the size of large
particles so that they will be removed in the form of a
sludge in subsequent treatment processes
7. Grit chamber
Aerated grit chamber :
diffused air keeps organic
solids in suspension as grit
settles
Vortex - Type Grit Chambers
Vortex is created
-Grit move to the outside
of the unit and gets collected
8. Comminutor
•In
this device all of the wa
flow passes
through the grinder
assembly
•The
grinder consists of a
screen or slotted basket,
a rotating or oscillating
cutter and a stationary
cutter
•Solids
pass through the
screen and are chopped
or shredded between the
two cutters
9. Primary treatment
The
objective of primary treatment is the removal of settle-able
organic and inorganic solids by sedimentation, and the removal
of materials that will float (scum) by skimming
Approximately 25 to 50% of the incoming biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD5), 50 to 70% of the total suspended solids (SS),
and 65% of the oil and grease are removed during primary
treatment
Some organic nitrogen, organic phosphorus, and heavy metals
associated with solids are also removed during primary
sedimentation
In many industrialized countries, primary treatment is the
minimum level of pre-application treatment required for
wastewater irrigation
It may be considered sufficient treatment if the wastewater is
used to irrigate crops that are not consumed by humans or to
irrigate orchards, vineyards, and some processed food crops
10. Contd…
Primary
sedimentation tanks or clarifiers may be round or
rectangular basins, typically 3 to 5 m deep, with hydraulic
retention time between 2 and 3 hours
Settled
solids (primary sludge) are normally removed from
the bottom of tanks by sludge rakes that scrape the sludge
to a central well from which it is pumped to sludge
processing units
Scum
is swept across the tank surface by water jets or
mechanical means from which it is also pumped to sludge
processing units
11. Sedimentation tank and clarifiers
Typical sedimentation tanks:
(a)rectangular horizontal flow
tank;
(b)circular, radial-flow tank;
(c) hopper-bottomed, upward
flow tank
12.
In large sewage treatment plants (> 7600 m 3/d), primary sludge is most
commonly processed biologically by anaerobic digestion
In the digestion process, anaerobic and facultative bacteria metabolize
the organic material in sludge, thereby reducing the volume requiring
ultimate disposal, making the sludge stable (nonputrescible) and
improving its dewatering characteristics
Digestion is carried out in covered tanks (anaerobic digesters), typically
7 to 14 m deep
The residence time in a digester may vary from a minimum of about 10
days for high-rate digesters (well-mixed and heated) to 60 days or more
in standard-rate digesters
Gas containing about 60 to 65% methane is produced during digestion
and can be recovered as an energy source
In small sewage treatment plants, sludge is processed in a variety of ways
including: aerobic digestion, storage in sludge lagoons, direct application
to sludge drying beds, in-process storage (as in stabilization ponds), and
land application.
14. Secondary treatment
The
objective of secondary treatment is the further
treatment of the effluent from primary treatment to
remove the residual organics and suspended solids
Aerobic
biological treatment is performed in the
presence of oxygen by aerobic microorganisms
(principally bacteria) that metabolize the organic matter in
the wastewater, thereby producing more microorganisms
and inorganic end-products (principally CO2, NH3, and
H2O)
Several
aerobic biological processes are used for
secondary treatment differing primarily in the manner in
which oxygen is supplied to the microorganisms and in
the rate at which organisms metabolize the organic
15. Contd…
High-rate
biological processes are characterized by relatively
small reactor volumes and high concentrations of
microorganisms compared with low rate processes
Consequently,
the growth rate of new organisms is much
greater in high-rate systems because of the well controlled
environment
The
microorganisms must be separated from the treated
wastewater by sedimentation to produce clarified secondary
effluent
The
sedimentation tanks used in secondary treatment, often
referred to as secondary clarifiers, operate in the same basic
manner as the primary clarifiers described previously
16. The
biological solids removed during secondary
sedimentation, called secondary or biological sludge, are
normally combined with primary sludge for sludge
processing
Common
high-rate processes include the activated sludge
processes, trickling filters or biofilters, oxidation ditches and
rotating biological contactors (RBC)
A
combination of two of these processes in series (e.g.
biofilter followed by activated sludge) is sometimes used to
treat municipal wastewater containing a high concentration
of organic material from industrial sources
17. Activated Sludge
In
the activated sludge process, the dispersed-growth
reactor is an aeration tank or basin containing a suspension
of the wastewater and microorganisms, the mixed liquor
The
contents of the aeration tank are mixed vigorously by
aeration devices which also supply oxygen to the biological
suspension
Aeration
devices commonly used include submerged
diffusers that release compressed air and mechanical
surface aerators that introduce air by agitating the liquid
surface
Hydraulic
retention time in the aeration tanks usually
ranges from 3 to 8 hours but can be higher with high BOD5
18. Following
the aeration step, the microorganisms are
separated from the liquid by sedimentation and the
clarified liquid is secondary effluent
A
portion of the biological sludge is recycled to the
aeration basin to maintain a high mixed-liquor suspended
solids (MLSS) level
The
remainder is removed from the process and sent to
sludge processing to maintain a relatively constant
concentration of microorganisms in the system
19.
20. Trickling Filters
A
trickling filter or biofilter consists of a basin or tower filled
with support media such as stones, plastic shapes, or
wooden slats
Wastewater is applied intermittently, or sometimes
continuously, over the media
Microorganisms become attached to the media and form a
biological layer or fixed film
Organic matter in the wastewater diffuses into the film,
where it is metabolized
Oxygen is normally supplied to the film by the natural flow
of air either up or down through the media, depending on
the relative temperatures of the wastewater and ambient air
The thickness of the biofilm increases as new organisms
grow
21. Periodically,
portions of the film slough off the media
The sloughed material is separated from the liquid in a
secondary clarifier and discharged to sludge processing
Clarified liquid from the secondary clarifier is the
secondary effluent and a portion is often recycled to the
biofilter to improve hydraulic distribution of the
wastewater over the filter
22. Rotating Biological Contactors
Rotating
biological contactors (RBCs) are fixed-film
reactors similar to biofilters in that organisms are attached
to support media
In
the case of the RBC, the support media are slowly
rotating discs that are partially submerged in flowing
wastewater in the reactor
Oxygen
is supplied to the attached biofilm from the air
when the film is out of the water and from the liquid when
submerged, since oxygen is transferred to the wastewater
by surface turbulence created by the discs' rotation
Sloughed
pieces of biofilm are removed in the same
manner described for biofilters
23.
24. Contd…
High-rate
biological treatment processes, in combination
with primary sedimentation, typically remove 85 % of the
BOD5 and SS originally present in the raw wastewater and
some of the heavy metals
Activated
sludge generally produces an effluent of slightly
higher quality, in terms of these constituents, than biofilters
or RBCs
When
coupled with a disinfection step, these processes can
provide substantial but not complete removal of bacteria
and virus
However,
they remove very little phosphorus, nitrogen,
non-biodegradable organics, or dissolved minerals.
25. Tertiary and/or advanced treatment
Tertiary
and/or advanced wastewater treatment is
employed when specific wastewater constituents which
cannot be removed by secondary treatment must be
removed
Because
advanced treatment usually follows high-rate
secondary treatment, it is sometimes referred to as
tertiary treatment
However,
advanced treatment processes are sometimes
combined with primary or secondary treatment (e.g.,
chemical addition to primary clarifiers or aeration basins
to remove phosphorus) or used in place of secondary
treatment (e.g., overland flow treatment of primary
effluent)
26.
An adaptation of the activated sludge process is often used to remove
nitrogen and phosphorus
Effluent from primary clarifiers flows to the biological reactor, which is
physically divided into five zones by baffles and weirs
In sequence these zones are: (i) anaerobic fermentation zone
(characterized by very low dissolved oxygen levels and the absence of
nitrates); (ii) anoxic zone (low dissolved oxygen levels but nitrates
present); (iii) aerobic zone (aerated); (iv) secondary anoxic zone; and
(v) final aeration zone
The function of the first zone is to condition the group of bacteria
responsible for phosphorus removal by stressing them under low
oxidation-reduction conditions, which results in a release of phosphorus
equilibrium in the cells of the bacteria
On subsequent exposure to an adequate supply of oxygen and
phosphorus in the aerated zones, these cells rapidly accumulate
phosphorus considerably in excess of their normal metabolic
requirements
Phosphorus is removed from the system with the waste activated sludge
27.
Most of the nitrogen in the influent is in the ammonia form, and this
passes through the first two zones virtually unaltered
In the third aerobic zone, the sludge age is such that almost complete
nitrification takes place, and the ammonia nitrogen is converted to
nitrites and then to nitrates
The nitrate-rich mixed liquor is then recycled from the aerobic zone
back to the first anoxic zone
Here de-nitrification occurs, where the recycled nitrates, in the absence
of dissolved oxygen, are reduced by facultative bacteria to nitrogen gas,
using the influent organic carbon compounds as hydrogen donors
The nitrogen gas merely escapes to atmosphere. In the second anoxic
zone, those nitrates which were not recycled are reduced by the
endogenous respiration of bacteria
In the final re-aeration zone, dissolved oxygen levels are again raised to
prevent further de-nitrification, which would impair settling in the
secondary clarifiers to which the mixed liquor then flows

29. Unit operations in advanced treatment
1.
Removal of suspended solids:
Removal of suspended solids in advanced treatment
implies the removal of those materials that have been
carried over from a secondary settler.
30. Microstraining
Rotating drum-type filter to screen suspended solids
Filtering media consists of finely woven stainless steel fabric with
mesh size of 23-35 microns
Fabric is mounted on periphery and water is allowed to pass from
inside to the outside
31. Coagulation and filtration
A method in which certain chemicals are rapidly dispersed in
wastewater to change the characteristics of the suspended particles
so that they coalasce and sink rapidly
In industrial wastewater treatment, coagulation is frequently used
for oily emulsions and finely divided and non-settlable solids such as
pigments, paper-fibre, meat and tannery effluents
Most widely used coagulants are aluminium sulphate, ferric sulphate
and ferric chloride
Typical reactions are:
Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O
2Al(OH)3 + 3H2SO4
3H2SO4 + 3Ca(HCO3)2
6H2CO3
3CaSO4 + 6H2CO3
6CO2 + 6H2O
Overall reaction is represented as:
Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(HCO3)2
2Al(OH)3 + 3CaSO4
36. In
many situations, where the risk of public exposure to
the reclaimed water or residual constituents is high, the
intent of the treatment is to minimize the probability of
human exposure to enteric viruses and other pathogens
Effective
disinfection of viruses is believed to be inhibited
by suspended and colloidal solids in the water, therefore
these solids must be removed by advanced treatment
before the disinfection step
The
sequence of treatment often specified in the United
States is: secondary treatment followed by chemical
coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection
This
level of treatment is assumed to produce an effluent
free from detectable viruses
