1. Sewerage Treatment Plant
Civil Engineering Aspects

2. INTRODUCTION

3. Introduction to Sewerage
Treatment Plants
• • Sewerage Treatment Plants (STPs) are
facilities designed to treat wastewater.
• • Aim: Remove contaminants to produce
environmentally safe effluent.
• • Essential for public health, water resource
management, and environmental protection.
• • In civil engineering, STPs involve design,
construction, and maintenance aspects.

4. COMPONENTS OF STP

5. Primary Components
• • Screening Chambers – remove large solids.
• • Grit Chambers – eliminate sand, grit, and
small stones.
• • Primary Sedimentation Tanks – settle
suspended solids.
• • Aeration Tanks – promote biological
treatment.
• • Secondary Clarifiers – separate biomass
from treated water.
• • Sludge Treatment Units – stabilize and

6. TREATMENT PROCESSES

7. Stages of Treatment
• 1. Preliminary Treatment – Screening and grit
removal.
• 2. Primary Treatment – Sedimentation to
remove suspended solids.
• 3. Secondary Treatment – Biological treatment
using activated sludge or biofilm.
• 4. Tertiary Treatment – Advanced filtration,
nutrient removal, disinfection.
• 5. Sludge Management – Thickening,
digestion, dewatering, and disposal.

8. CIVIL ENGINEERING ASPECTS

9. Civil Engineering Considerations
• • Site Selection – proximity to sewage source,
land availability.
• • Structural Design – reinforced concrete
tanks, channels, and foundations.
• • Hydraulic Design – flow capacity, retention
time, head losses.
• • Material Selection – durable, corrosion-
resistant materials.
• • Construction Methods – excavation,
waterproofing, quality control.

10. APPLICATIONS

11. Uses of Treated Effluent and Sludge
• • Irrigation of agricultural fields and
landscapes.
• • Industrial reuse for cooling and process
water.
• • Groundwater recharge through percolation.
• • Production of biogas from sludge digestion.
• • Compost and soil conditioner from stabilized
sludge.

12. CHALLENGES AND FUTURE TRENDS

13. Challenges and Innovations
• • High capital and operational costs.
• • Energy-intensive processes.
• • Sludge management difficulties.
• • Need for skilled workforce.
• Future Trends:
• • Energy-efficient technologies.
• • Decentralized treatment systems.
• • Resource recovery (water, energy, nutrients).
