CONVENTIONAL FLOW CHART FOR PACKAGED STP

BASED ON ASP TECHNOLOGY

PACKAGED SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT BASED ON

ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS

The Extended Aeration Process, a modification of the Activated Sludge Process,

effectively treats the contaminants in wastewaters. The standard basis of design
includes an aeration system, providing a 24-hour detention time and a final settling
tank, with an effective 4-hour detention time.
Diffused air is introduced into the aeration tank. This provides the proper
environment for the development of aerobic bacteria. These bacteria thrive on the
materials contained in the wastewater. The prolonged period of aeration, in addition,
oxidizes a portion of the solids in the system. Oxygenation by diffused aeration
provides operating flexibility and standby reserve to meet the demanding
requirements of the varied package plant applications.

Separation of the solids from the mixed liquor developed in the aeration tank takes
place in the settling compartment. The clarified effluent is withdrawn for reuse or
discharged into a receiving stream from the top of the settling tank. The settled solids
are rapidly pumped from the bottom of the settling tank back to the aeration system.
These Extended Aeration Plants are proven workhorses, providing excellent
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal
efficiencies. Only minimal routine housekeeping and operational tasks are required
of the plant operator.

BASIC DESIGN PARAMETERS OF PACKAGED STP

BASED ON ASP

Since this unit is an extended aeration system, its (BOD5/MLSS)

F/M loading is in the range of 0.042 to 0.153. This F/M ratio
establishes the MLSS concentration in the range of 2500 to
approximately 6000 mg/L.
Aeration compartment volume has been established to provide a
detention period of 24 hours at design flow.
The clarifiers are designed to produce solids separation under all
hydraulic loading conditions.
Air is supplied to the diffusers by positive displacement blowers.
These blowers are designed to provide sufficient air to ensure that
the dissolved oxygen content of the aeration chambers can always be
maintained within the range of 1.0 to 2.0 mg/L.

the Chlorine Solution
Disinfected Effluent is
Passed Through PSF And
ACF by Means of Pressure

PRESSURE SAND FILTERS

The Filter vessel is designed as a

pressure vessel (it consists of a straight
cylindrical shell, with convex dishshaped ends welded to the top and
bottom). A typical vessel is designed to
withstand a pressure of 5 kg/cm2.
A set of pipes, valves, bypass line,
backwash waste line etc. are also
provided to facilitate operations such as
filtration, bypass (during servicing),
backwash etc. Pressure gauges are
provided at the inlet and outlet, to
monitor the pressure drop across the
filter.

ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS

Activated carbon is typically

manufactured from coconut shell
or charcoal, the activation
process creating a highly porous
material with a very large surface
area. Organic pollutant molecules
are physically adsorbed and held
fast within the catacomb-like
porous structure of the activated
carbon. Granular activated carbon
is typically used for this purpose.

SLUDGE DRYING BEDS OR FILTER PRESS

Quantity of sludge will be considered

as .. For extended aeration
technology.
Sludge drying beds are the cheapest
and easiest way to dispose off the extra
sludge.
Generally sludge drying beds are
provided in multiple of two.

Capital Cost

COSTING

Cost will depend on following

factors
Make
RCC
MS
SS

FRP coating
Epoxy paint
Automation
Transportation
Scope of work
Degree of treatment

Generally Rs. 30 to 40 per liter will

be the installation cost for plants
having capacity up to 100 KLD
Capital cost decreases if the
capacity of plant increases

Running Cost

Major cost of operation will be

considered as electrical and power
expenses
Running cost will depend on the
capacity of Mechanical equipments
Maintenance cost is not even 2 %
of capital cost per year.

SPACE REQUIREMENT

Packaged sewage treatment plants are compact and based on the

extended aeration system.
RCC plants can be flushed with the finished ground level by
constructing under ground RCC tanks.
Approximately 1 Sq. Ft. is required for treating 1 Cum of sewage.
Sludge disposal space requirements will be reduced by providing
filter press.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM CAPACITY

Packaged Sewage treatment plants can be made up to capacity of

250 KLD in Mild Steel.
RCC sewage treatment plants can be made up to any capacity
required.
In case of Mild steel plants (Pre-fabricated plants) transportation
should be given due importance.
Practically minimum capacity of packaged sewage treatment plants
should be 20 KLD.
