INTRODUCTION

Effluent treatment plant treats all domestic and process

effluents. The treatment basically involves removal of fat oil
& grease soap, Biological and chemical sludge using bacteria
by aerobic treatment. Treated water is used for makeup in
cooling tower and for gardening.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE
Domestic and lab effluent is collected in Equalization tank 2
(E-2) & Process effluent is collected in Equalization tank 1
(E-1).

Process effluent from E-1 is transferred to E-2 so as to

achieve a pH of 6 in

E-2.Air is continuously bubbled using air blower for through

mixing.

From E-2 the pH corrected effluent is pumped to Aeration

tank – 1 (A-1) with a constant flow. First stage of biological
treatment takes place here. Aeration in the tank is provided
by mechanical aerators (3 Nos), which are mounted on a
platform.

Effluent which over flows from A-1 reaches the Clarifier –1 (C

–1). A scrapper pushes the sludge to the central sludge
chamber. Return sludge pump from C-1 takes the sludge
from the sludge chamber to A-1.
Overflow from C-1 reaches Aeration tank –2 ( A-2) where the
secondary biological treatment takes place which takes care

of the organic matter escaping from A-1. Three aerators are
used in A-2 for aeration.

Over flow from A-2 reaches Clarifier –2 (C-2), a sludge return

pump pumps back the sludge from the sludge chamber to A-
2.

Overflow from C-2 enters a Flash mixer where provision for

Alum and

Poly electrolyte addition is provided.

Over flow from the flash mixer flows by gravity in to

Clarifloculator (CF).
Effluent is agitated with paddles in the floculator rotated
inside the clarifier. A rotating scrapper is used to push the
sludge in the central sludge chamber. Sludge from CF is
pumped to sludge drying bed using a pump everyday to
remove the biological matter settled.

Treated effluent from CF overflows to a collection tank.

Water from the collection tank is filtered through pressure
sand and carbon filters and used for makeup in cooling tower
and gardening.
