Following are the benefits of providing the Sewage Treatment Plant in project site:- Net daily water requirements from tube wells shall be reduced by utilization of the treated waste water. This shall consequently lead to a lower withdrawal from the underground aquifer water sources. Dependency on the public utilities shall be reduced for water supply and sewerage system. Sludge generated from the Sewage Treatment Plant shall be rich in organic content and an excellent fertilizer therefore it shall be used in green belt area of the project site. SEWAGE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY It is proposed to install a common sewage treatment plant of capacity 200 cum per day including 20% additional capacity as per MOEF requirement, to recover the recycled water of quality suitable for use as flushing, irrigation, basement, car washing, water body makeup and DG cooling tower makeup. The process proposed to be adopted is high efficiency SBR plant followed by ultra filtration system for flushing, water body makeup & car wash water requirement. It occupies less space and is an efficient process. The following parameters shall be adopted for the design of Sewage Treatment Plant. 3

Large solids particles shall be intercepted by a bar screen, preceded by a grease trap. The primary clarified wastewater is then further pretreated by fine screening before entering the bioreactor portion of the SBR process. Fine screening shall be done by proposed bar screen. In the proposed system there will be only one Reactor in which sewage undergoes the unit operations of Aeration, Settling and Decanting. A write up on the same is given below for your reference. SBR actually represents a very elementary form of treatment process known as Fill and Draw. Wastewater added to a reactor is treated to remove undesirable components and is subsequently discharged. The reactor is a self-contained system incorporating equalization, aeration and clarification, aeration and clarification within the confines of a SINGLE basin. This uses the latest biomass conditioning technology. This enables the system to attain nutrient control without the addition of chemicals and to outperform continuous flow through systems. In this system all of the treatment process takes place in the reactor tank and clarifiers are not required. This process treats the wastewater in batch mode and each batch is sequenced through a series of treatment stages. The major advantages are: Improved sewage qualities in terms of nutrient removal. The elimination of separate clarifier and sludge return pumps. Increased settling area (the total reactor area is used for settling). A perfectly quiescent settling environment. Elimination of hydraulic short circuiting. 5
A special ability to handle extremely high organic and hydraulic shock load. The capability to equalize flows and loads. OPERATION Normally the process follows the basic steps of; AERATE, Settle and DECANT. The actual cycle time will vary with the effluent results desired. If only BOD reduction is desired, a cycle time as 3 hours may be used. If further treatment, to obtain nitrification/de-nitrification is required, the cycle time can be extended to accommodate the process requirements. The AERATE phase in the system is typically timed controlled and can be adjusted depending on the required removal efficiency. The AERATE phase is followed by the SETTLING PHASE. The settling represents the quiescent phase during which no aeration or mixing occurs and is also time controlled. The last step is the DECANT step represents the quiescent phase during which no aeration or mixing occurs and is also time controlled. There are typically four cycle events: i. FILL: The influent wastewater is distributed in to the sludge blanket. The Fill event can take place under mixed or unmixed conditions and aerated or un-aerated conditions. ii. REACT: The React events include mixing and aeration. Aerated conditions serve to oxidize organic carbon, nitrify ammonia, and promote uptake of phosphorus in the sludge. Un-aerated conditions promote de-nitrification of nitrite and nitrate. iii. SETTLE: The Settle event is when all mixing and aeration is turned off and the mixed liquor solids settle, allowing a clear supernatant to form in the upper part of the tank. iv. DECANT: The decant event occurs after a substantial depth of supernatant has formed. Automatic valves open, and supernatant is drawn off the upper portion of the tank. Sludge wasting can occur during this time, because the settled sludge bed will have attained a maximum concentration of solids. OZONATOR STP treated water after decant shall be passed through ulra ozonator system and used for flushing, DG cooling tower makeup, car washing, water body makeup and irrigation system. DISINFECTION Disinfection of treated sewage will be done using UV Sterilizer. Sludge Transfer and Disposal Pumps 6
Two numbers of sludge feed pumps to filter press (one duty and one standby) shall be provided. Each shall be of screw type pumps. The material construction shall be the same as the sewage pumps. Tertiary Treatment This tertiary treatment shall be provided for the effluent used for irrigation and DG cooling tower make-up water tank, irrigation, water body makeup, car washing and flushing system. Rainwater Harvesting: The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off depends upon many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary area and the time required for such flow to reach the drains. The drains shall be located near the carriage way along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from various blocks shall be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins. The water table becomes more than 25 m in future, rainwater harvesting can be carried out. Therefore, it has been calculated to provide 7 rainwater harvesting pits at selected locations, which will catch the maximum run-off from the area. 1) Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm water pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought down through rain water pipes. 2) Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drain, catch basins and seepage pits at regular intervals for rain water harvesting and ground water recharging. 3) For basement parking, the rainwater from ramps will be collected in the basement storm water storage tank. This water will be pumped out to the nearest external storm water drain. Peak hourly rainfall has been considered as 45 mm/hr. The recharge pit of 4m x 3m and 2.5 m depth will be constructed for recharging the water. Inside the recharge pit, a recharge bore will be constructed having 600 mm diameter and 30 m depth. The bottom of the recharge structure will be kept 4 m above this level. At the bottom of the recharge well, a filter media will be provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. Design specifications of the rain water harvesting plan are as follows: Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning. 7
The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be damaged allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting will be avoided since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off. All gutter ends will be fitted with a wire mesh screen and a first flush device would be installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves, plastic bags and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and to prevent contamination by ensuring that the runoff from the first 10-20 minutes of rainfall will be flushed off. No sewage or wastewater would be admitted into the system. No wastewater from areas likely to have oil, grease, or other pollutants will be connected to the system.
