1.0 Introduction:

The objective of Sewage treatment plant is to stabilize decomposable organic

matter present in sewage so as to produce treated effluent which can be reused
for non-potable purposes or disposed off into the environment without causing
health hazard or nuisance.

Hence we recommend a MBR type Sewage Treatment Plant.

2.0 Membrane Bio-Reactor System

The units of the MBR type STP and their function is described as follows:

a) Bar Screen: The main objective of installing screens is to remove floating

matter of comparatively large size. This unit prevents problems, which are
likely to be caused in further operation of other units. Removal of these
wastes in screens prevents clogging and chocking of pumps and other
equipments.

b) Equalization Tank: Sewage generation is not uniform and maximum quantity

comes out during morning and evening hours. The flow may be zero during
afternoon and mid night. To optimize the size of the plant, the plant is
designed for continuous operation and hence there is a need to provide a
buffer tank to store sewage during its peak hour generation and supply the
same during lean or no flow hours. Hence the plant is provided with a good
capacity of buffer tank known as EQUALISATION TANK. Screened and de-
greased sewage is then passed into the equalization tank to homogenize the
sewage quality and also even out flow fluctuations and feed sewage of
uniform quality at constant rate to subsequent treatment units. Air mixing is
also provided to mix the contents of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble
aeration grid system is provided to mix the contents of the equalization tank

and also to avoid septic conditions in the tank. Hydraulic retention period here
will be 8 Hrs.
c) Aeration Tank: Biological stabilization of the waste water is carried out in the
aeration tank in the presence of microorganisms. In this tank Oxygen is given
for aeration, in order to reduce BOD and COD. The aeration devices apart
from supplying the required oxygen demand shall also provide adequate
mixing or agitation in order that the entire mixed liquor suspended solids
present in the aeration tank will be available for the biological activity. The air
containing oxygen is used by the bacteria to consume the organic matter and
convert it to carbon dioxide and water. In aeration tank, MLSS (mixed liquor
suspended solids) in the range of 3000 to 6000 mg/l or more are maintained.
The high amount of bacteria gives better and complete removal of organic
matter from the raw effluent in relatively small area. Oxygen required for the
bacteria is supplied through the blower.

Aeration: fine bubble air diffusers

MLSS: 3000 -6000Mg/ Lit
Oxygen requirement: 2 kg per kg of BOD

d) MBR Tank: The waste water (mixed liquor) with the bio mass flowing out
of the aeration is taken to an MBR tank with a hopper bottom.

automatically does the suction, back washing depending on the time which is set.

MBR - CHEMICAL CLEANING (CIP)

e) Final Treated Water Tank: The water sucked from the membranes is of very
high quality with respect to BOD, COD and suspended solids, and is stored in
a final treated water tank for further use. Retention period is 10-12 hrs.

f) U V STERLISER or Chlorination (for disinfection): Finally the treated MBR

product water is passed through UV sterilizer/chlorination for further
disinfection if required.

The characteristic features of raw sewage and treated sewage is as

follows:-
Characteristic of Raw Sewage

Hence the initial sewage load is 200KLD and the total is 1.2MLD. Due to uncertainty in the time
duration of construction of towers, constructing and maintaining one single STP for the entire
development of 8 towers is not a good decision.

Even the Phase-1 construction shall be done in various stages starting with Tower1A as
shown in the drawing.
The following points can be noted:
Tower 1A will be constructed first; hence we recommend a mobile STP of 100 KLD
capacity to be used for Tower 1A. This can take care of sewage during construction
stage for other tower as well and can even be shifted to other sites.

Since rate at which the tower is occupied will be slow initially we suggest that this
modular STP be used till tower 1B is fully occupied. By the time Tower-1A and 1B has
full occupancy a STP of 200 KLD can be constructed and can start operating with a load
of 160 KLD.

During such time if the phase 2 development is certain and is on the papers its
sewerage contribution can be envisaged and capacity of the STP can hence be decided.

We can design the STP and plan for the same at the beginning of phase 2 and ending of
phase 1.

4.0 Area Requirement and Costing:

The cost of a mobile STP of 100KLD capacity is approximately 25, 75,000

INR.The area requirement for a 200 KLD STP is 230 sqm and the costing shall
be approximately 45, 00,000 INR.
