The document summarizes a presentation on a sewage treatment plant in Delhi. It discusses that the plant was constructed at a cost of Rs360 crore and has 3 channels of 113mld each. Sewage is pumped from 2 pumping stations into the main pumping station and then to the STP, which will generate electricity from methane gas to power the plant. The STP involves primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment stages to remove contaminants and produce treated wastewater suitable for discharge or reuse.
suspended growth bio treatments - BOD and Nitrification
The document discusses various aspects of the suspended growth bio-treatment process known as the activated sludge process. It describes the process as using microorganisms to consume organic contaminants in wastewater. The activated sludge process is an economical biological wastewater treatment method that can produce high quality effluent. It also discusses different design configurations for activated sludge systems including extended aeration, sequencing batch reactors, and oxidation ditches. BOD removal and nitrification are key functions of the activated sludge process.
Domestic septic tanks
This document discusses domestic septic tanks. It explains that septic tanks use two types of bacteria, anaerobic and aerobic, for primary treatment of sewage through the separation of solids and liquids, though this does not purify the sewerage. It also defines biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) as the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms to break down organic matter over five days, measured in milligrams per liter. Finally, it outlines several water quality standards based on thresholds for BOD, suspended solids, and E. coli levels that determine appropriate end uses for treated water.
Miscelleaneous methods
1. The document discusses various types of wastewater treatment processes including oxidation ditches, oxidation ponds, aerated lagoons, and septic tanks.
2. Oxidation ditches are essentially extended aeration activated sludge processes using endless ditches and rotors for aeration. Rotors are designed to impart velocities between 0.3 to 0.4 m/s.
3. Oxidation ponds, also called waste stabilization ponds, are open earthen basins that use natural means like wave action and sunlight to facilitate the aerobic and anaerobic treatment of sewage and biodegradable wastes.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the possibilities of using denitrification
dephosphatation to enhance biogenic compounds removal in the wastewater treatment
plant using a separated nitrification process on a fixed-film. The analysis was based on
the multi-variant simulations of the combined system, fixed-film activated sludge
performance. Activated sludge ASIM 2D model which is linked to the model of
pollutions transformations in fixed-film was used. The analyses were performed based
on the input parameters (wastewater averaged daily rate, pH, COD values, total
suspended solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, and
alkalinity). The results indicated that there is a possibility of including fixed-film in the
activated sludge technology in order to improve nitrogen and phosphorus removal from
the wastewater. Nitrification process will be performed in fixed-film, whereas nitrogen
and phosphorus removal from the wastewater will be performed in anoxic chambers
which are operated by the activated sludge technology. Denitrifying dephosphatation
process guarantees a high level of total phosphorus reduction (81%) if the whole easily
decomposable substrate is consumed by microorganisms in the anoxic chamber in the
presence of enough nitrates.
RBC
This document discusses rotating biological contactors (RBCs), which are fixed film, aerobic biological reactors used for wastewater treatment. RBCs use rotating discs to bring wastewater into contact with oxygen and microorganisms to reduce organic matter. Key parameters that control RBC performance include organic and hydraulic loading rates, biomass levels, disc speed, dissolved oxygen, staging, temperature, and disc submergence. Design considerations for RBCs include using multiple treatment stages, corrugated discs to maximize surface area, and hydraulic retention times of 0.7-1.5 hours. RBCs have advantages of simple operation, low energy use, and process stability, but lack flexibility and can be sensitive to
Biological treatment of waste water
The document summarizes several biological treatment processes used for waste water treatment including suspended growth processes like activated sludge and fixed film processes like trickling filters, fluidized bed reactors, rotating biological contractors, and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors. It describes the basic mechanisms and configurations of each process as well as their advantages and applications.

waste stabilization ponds
Waste stabilization ponds are designed to treat wastewater biologically. There are three main types: anaerobic ponds, facultative ponds with upper aerobic and lower anaerobic conditions, and maturation ponds. Factors like BOD removal, pathogen removal, temperature, and detention time control the biological processes. Decomposition occurs through aerobic and anaerobic processes. Facultative ponds combine aerobic and anaerobic zones and various design methods consider factors like BOD loading per unit area, empirical relationships, and recommendations from organizations like CPHERI in India.
ponds and lagoons
Oxidation ponds and lagoons are open basins designed to treat sewage and wastewater through natural biological processes. There are several types including aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative ponds as well as maturation ponds. Aerobic ponds maintain dissolved oxygen throughout while anaerobic ponds operate without oxygen. Facultative ponds contain aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative zones. Lagoons are deeper than ponds and can be aerobic or facultative. Proper design, regular maintenance, and operating multiple ponds/lagoons in series improves treatment efficiency.
L 17 do sag [compatibility mode]
This document discusses various aspects of self-purification of streams, including:
1. Water pollution can come from point sources like factories or sewage systems, which are easier to identify and control, or non-point sources like agricultural runoff, which are harder to control.
2. Self-purification occurs through dilution, dispersion, sedimentation, oxidation, reduction, and effects of temperature and sunlight. Bacteria break down organic pollutants, using up dissolved oxygen.
3. A DO sag curve shows how dissolved oxygen levels decrease from the input point due to biochemical oxygen demand, before eventually reaching a critical point and recovering further downstream.

This project developed mathematical models for removing nitrates from wastewater using bagasse ash, a byproduct of the sugar industry. Experiments were conducted to test bagasse ash and activated carbon as adsorbents. Samples were taken over time to analyze how nitrate concentration decreased with different adsorbent doses and initial concentrations. The results showed that both adsorbents effectively removed nitrates, with maximum removal occurring at a 20 gm dose. Bagasse ash was determined to be a good, low-cost adsorbent for nitrate removal. Future work could optimize removal by studying the effects of pH, stirring rate, and temperature on the adsorption process.

Carbon capture
The document describes an experiment to test biological carbon capture using algae. Algae cultures were grown in plastic cups with and without added baking soda over 10 days. Baking soda was added to provide extra carbon dioxide to boost algae growth. Secchi disk visibility readings showed the algae with baking soda captured more carbon at a rate of 24.26 gC/m2/yr, compared to 18.65 gC/m2/yr for algae without baking soda. While results did not meet the goal of 500 gC/m2/yr, longer experiments may improve outcomes.
A Novel Saltwater AOC Assay for Optimizing Desalination R/O Pretreatment
Presented at the May 24, 2010 14th Annual Water Reuse & Desalination Research Conference in Tampa Bay, FL. The title of the talk was "A Novel Saltwater AOC Assay for Optimizing Desalination R/O Pretreatment" and described a new way of measuring small organic carbon molecules in seawater that serve as food for bacterial growth. Growth of the bacteria on reverse osmosis membranes used to treat the seawater causes clogging problems and increases the energy required (and greenhouse gas emissions) and maintenance (more frequent cleaning).
Cultivation of Sulfur Bacteria from Pond Water
The students cultivated two cultures of sulfur-utilizing bacteria from pond water using different reactor designs. They recorded pH, alkalinity, and optical density over six days as indicators of sulfur oxidation activity. Visual observation showed growth of pink/orange bacteria in the photosynthetic reactor and grey/orange bacteria in the non-photosynthetic reactor, pointing to growth of sulfur-utilizing Chromatiales and Thiobacillus bacteria. The data trends suggested the sulfur substrate was depleted after two days, explaining the stability of measured values over time.

Trickling filter ppt
The document discusses trickling filters, which are used in sewage treatment to remove suspended solids and dissolved organic loads from wastewater. Trickling filters use microbial populations attached to a filter media to break down organic matter. They consist of a rotating arm that sprays wastewater over a rock or plastic media, with wastewater collected below for further treatment. Trickling filters can be designed as low or high rate systems, with high rate filters having greater organic loading, hydraulic loading, and recirculation ratios compared to low rate filters. Operational issues include ponding, odors, and fly nuisance that can occur if the filters become anaerobic or clogged.
Composting toilets
A feasibility study was conducted for installing dry composting toilets (DCTs) with urine separation in 12 new urban apartments as a demonstration project. DCTs can save water, reduce nutrient loads to sewers by over 80%, and produce a safe fertilizer for agriculture. A rotary-style DCT is proposed that separates 60% of urine into a tank while solids compost in rotating bins. The demonstration project will assess the technology's benefits and address concerns about odor, operation difficulties, and health risks through independent evaluation. If successful, DCTs could provide an economical alternative to conventional sewer systems, especially in unsewered areas.

The document describes the development and validation of an active sampler called the In Situ Sampler for Bioavailability Assessment (IS2B) that can sample both surface water and porewater simultaneously. The IS2B was tested at a contaminated site to assess concentrations of select hydrophobic organic contaminants like fipronil and its degradation products in surface water and porewater. Results found sub-parts per trillion detection limits were possible with the IS2B and concentrations measured with it were comparable to those from conventional grab sampling and extraction in the lab. The IS2B provides an easy means to sample both water types without the drawbacks of other sampling methods.

Report on edx of gulf salt exposed to jh rf
The document summarizes an experiment where samples of oil-contaminated seawater from the Gulf of Mexico were exposed to different levels of healing radio frequencies. Analysis found the sample exposed to high intensity frequencies had almost pure sodium chloride composition, while the minimally exposed control sample composition was typical of seawater with other elements. This suggests the radio frequencies altered the chemical composition by removing minor elements and purifying the major salt component. Further testing is recommended to understand the effects on other minerals and hydrocarbons at different radio frequency exposures.

“Study The Different Parameters of Sewage Treatment With UASB & SBR Technolog...
Abstract: Every community produces both liquid and solid wastes and air emissions. The liquid wastewastewater-is
essentially the water supply of the community after it has been used in a variety of applications.
From the standpoint of sources of generation, wastewater may be defined as a combination of the liquid or
water-carried wastes removed from residences, institutions, commercial and industrial establishments, together
with such groundwater, surfacewater and stromwater as may be present. This waste water through sewer comes
to the sewage treatment plant so that parameters are reduced and treated wastewater be disposed into water or
land. For treating the sewage UASB( UP FLOW ANAEROBIC SLUDGE BLANKET) and SBR(SEQUENCING
BATCH REACTOR) technologies are mostly used.
All the parameters of these samples were analyzed using standard methods prescribed in “Standard methods for
examination of water and wastewater”. It was observed that pH & temperature values at outlet by both the
processes are almost same. Reading were taking on two consecutive days and value of Biochemical Oxygen
Demand by UASB process was 32, 32mg/l and by SBR process was 11, 16mg/l. Chemical oxygen Demand by
UASB process was 112, 96mg/l and by SBR process was 32, 34mg/l. Total Suspended Solids by UASB process
was 58, 44mg/l and by SBR process was 10, 12mg/l. Both the processes were used for treating the wastewater
and the SBR process showed better results as comparative to UASB.

IFAS systems integrate fixed film media and activated sludge in the same reactor. The document reviews several past studies that evaluated the performance of MBBR and IFAS systems in removing various pollutants like organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus from wastewater. The studies demonstrated these technologies can achieve high removal efficiencies of over 75% for various pollutants under different conditions.
Parametric Studies on Detergent Using Low Cost Sorbent
: Water is a valued natural resource for the existence of all living organisms. Indian rivers are
polluted due to the discharge of untreated sewage and industrial effluents. Management of the quality of this
precious resource is, therefore, of special importance. In these study industrial effluents samples from the
various detergent factories were collected and analyzed for physicochemical and bacteriological evaluation of
pollution. The use and effectiveness of granular and powder activated carbon made from agricultural waste i.e.
coconut husk and that coconut husk is a suitable adsorbent for such an effluent. Maximum adsorption capacity
is a derived from Langmuir isotherm. A series of fixed bed experiments was carried out and the results were
applied to a bed-depth/service time model for column adsorption. The validity of such a model is discussed. In
the removal of organic matter in wastewater effluents from a industry waste water were investigated. The effect
of process variables such as carbonization temperature, carbonization duration and activation temperature on
the production and quality of activated carbon was studied as well as adsorption capacity was studied

Performance Evaluation of STP’s based on Different Technologies
The document compares the performance of three sewage treatment plants (STPs) around Dal Lake that use different technologies: Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR), Fluidized Aerobic Bio-Reactor (FAB), and Activated Sludge Process (ASP). Water samples from the influent and effluent of each STP were tested for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and nitrogen levels over three months. The results showed that the SBR plant had the best pollutant removal efficiency, followed by the FAB plant, with the ASP plant having the lowest efficiency. Thus, the overall performance order of the STPs from best to worst was determined to be: SBR > FAB > ASP.

IRJET- Macrophytic Treatment of Textile Waste Water Together with Root Zone T...
This document summarizes a study on treating textile wastewater using macrophytic (plant-based) treatment together with a root zone technique. The study used water hyacinth to treat the textile wastewater in tanks over 24 hours, then sent the treated water through a root zone system with marigold plants for further purification. Optimization experiments determined the best pH, dilution levels, and contact times for maximum pollutant removal. The macrophytic treatment alone removed over 60% of BOD and COD on average. When followed by the root zone system, the treated wastewater met discharge standards. The combined system using aquatic plants was found to effectively treat textile industry wastewater.
Epa P3 Phase I Executive Summary
This document provides an executive summary of a final report for a project that evaluated using permeable concrete filters to provide clean drinking water in developing communities. The project aimed to design concrete filters that could remove contaminants like bacteria from water without needing treatment chemicals or power. Testing found the filters effectively removed over 99.9% of bacteria but resulted in high pH levels in the filtered water. The conclusions identified concerns with pH and concentrations of some chemicals to study further in a proposed Phase II. The overall goal of providing cleaner water sources aligns with sustainable development objectives.
Montana_Weitzel_LehighinIreland_FinalReport
Up-flow anaerobic sludge beds (UASB) reactors utilize waste-converting biofilms to treat toxic wastewater. Microorganisms in the biofilm granules break down compounds anaerobically and produce methane gas. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis measures the organic compounds in water and is used to determine the quality of treated effluent from UASB reactors, with the goal of reducing COD levels by 60-80%. Three UASB reactors were established in this study to collect samples from ports throughout and analyze COD levels over time, with initial results indicating the reactors are reducing COD as intended. However, further analysis is needed to fully understand the microbial interactions and optimize the reactors'
IRJET - Effect of Non-Continuous Aeration on Activated Sludge Process
This document summarizes research on the effect of non-continuous aeration on the activated sludge process. The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat sewage in India, but aeration accounts for a significant operating cost. The study aims to evaluate the impact on reactor performance and aerobic biomass when the continuous supply of aeration is not provided, either intentionally or unintentionally. Previous studies have found high reductions in BOD and COD from activated sludge treatment, but few have investigated the effects of non-continuous aeration. The researchers will analyze these effects in batch and continuous feeding modes using their college sewage treatment plant.

- 2. Abstract Municipal wastewater contains various organic matters and contaminants that may cause pollution when they are not removed prior to discharge to the environment. In terms of wastewater pollutants removal, Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) has seemed to be an efficient technology compared to other wastewater treatment techniques. This technology is an integrated system that treats wastewater through a combination of two different processes: anaerobic digestion and membrane filtration. Recently, a lot of studies have been done to develop anaerobic membrane bioreactor systems. A study on treatment of municipal wastewater was carried out using 1L laboratory scale anaerobic membrane bioreactor. This study aimed to contribute to the development of anaerobic membrane bioreactors. Set-up, design and start-up of this lab scale AnMBR were our specific goals. Assembly work was done for the set-up of the bioreactor. Preliminary tests using tap water was done to check the function of the membrane bioreactor, and to fix any leakages observed with tube fittings and other equipment. Municipal wastewater having total COD concentration of 543mg/L was used to start treatment processes. We increased this COD concertation to 1560mg/L on 8th day of the treatment. Flow rate for feed and permeate was chosen to be 1.7mL/min. The AnMBR was continuously stirred at 35 rpm and operated at 37oC. Occasional rapid stirring at 100rpm for 30s was done to reduce formation of cake on the membrane. pH of the bioreactor liquor was controlled and adjusted to be around 7. Treatment productivity of the lab scale AnMBR was also determined by looking at its COD and bacterial removal efficiency, and measuring its biogas production. Results obtained from COD and bacterial analysis, for feed wastewater and permeate samples, allowed to affirm that this AnMBR had a COD and bacterial removal efficiency of 61% and 61.35% respectively. Biogas production was only observed in the end of this study, and no measurement of the produced gas volume was done. There were some limitations during this study. Work period was very short and the wastewater treatment processes were disturbed by membrane misplacement.
