Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR)
• The first is to make certain that all mechanical, electrical and control
equipment is operating properly.
• The purpose of Fill-React operation is to add substrate (raw
sewage) to the reactor. The addition of substrate or filling is
controlled by a timer to a set time period. The filling operation is
also controlled by level transmitter to limit filling volume upto
maximum level. Usually, SBR tanks are designed to take flow
as it comes into STP with all variations from peak flow to
minimum flow without necessiating any equalization tank.
• The Settling process is controlled by time and is usually fixed
between 30 minutes to an hour so that the sludge blanket
remains below the withdrawal mechanism during the next
phase.
• The purpose of Decantation is to remove the clarified, treated
water from the reactor.
Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR)
• When starting the plant initially, the diffuser should be
operated first and run continuously, otherwise the desired
parameters will not be achieved.
• The precaution needed is to make sure that power supply is
available continuously. If power supply fails, immediately
bring the genset on-line.
• COD to BOD ratio indicates the biodegradabitity of the
sewage. Normally, sewage will have COD to BOD ratio
between 1.5 to 2. If the ratio is more than 2, entry of
industrial effluents into sewer network is a possibility.
• The daily tests shall be COD, TSS, pH, Dissolve oxygen,
Ammonia and dissolved phosphate. BOD can be a weekly
test.

• Most of the times, the compressors are found not working with the

PROVISION AS PER AGREEMENT FOR OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE
• The plant machinery shall be operated 24 hours a day, 365 days in a year.
• Sewage flow received from the MPS is treated & disposed out without any
break.
• The plant shall never be operated at less than 50% of its design capacity.
• The period of 50% operation shall not exceed more than two consecutive
days and not more than three days in a month.
• The maximum downtime of the whole plant shall not exceed more than 8
continuous hours.
• In case down time exceeds the above limit than the contractor shall not be
paid O&M charges.
• The record of incoming/ treated sewage water quality monitors during
every day of O&M period.
• Third party inspection by the expert be conducted once in year to examine
the performance of components of the plants.
