1
SEWAGE TREATMENT: PROCESS OF REMOVING
CONTAMINANTS

 TO REMOVE CONTAMINANATS, PHYSICAL CHEMICAL

AND BOILOGICAL PROCESSES ARE USED.
 AFTER TREATMENT WASTEWATER IS SAFE TO
RELEASE IN THE ENVIRINMENT.

2
CLASSIFICATION OF TREATMENT

 PRELIMINARY TEARTMENT
 PRIMARY TREATMENT
 SECOUNDARY TREATMENT
 TERTIARY TREATTMENT

3
PRELIMINARY TREATMENT: SEPARATION OF FLOATING
MATERIAL.
PRIMARY TREATMENT: REMOVING OF LARGE ORGANIC
SOLIDS.
SECONDARY TRAETMENT: DECOMPOSITIN OF
ORGANIC MATTER.
TERTIARY TREATRMENT: REMOVING OF ORGANIC
LOAD LEFT AFTER SECONDARY TREATMENT.

4
TYPES OF SECONADRY TREATMENT.

 i) ACTIVATED SLUGE PROCESS

ii)
iii) INTERMITTENT SAND FILTER PROCESS
iv)

5
ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS

 IT IS A TYPE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR TREATING

SEWAGE OR INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER
 AERATION AND BOLOGICAL FLOC COMPOSED OF BACTERIA
AND PROTOZOA ARE USED FOR TREATMENT

6
OPERATIONS
MIXING OF ACTIVATED SLUDGE
AERATION
SETTING IN SECOUNDARY CLARIFIER(CLARIFIER)

7
ADVANTAGES:

 COST OF INTALLATION IS LOW

 REQUIRES A SMALL AREA TO OPERATE
 LOSS OF HEAD IS COMPARATIVELY LOW
 THERE IS NO FLY OR ODOUR NUISANCE

8
DISADVANTAGES

 SUDDEN INCREASE IN VOLUME IN SEWAGE AFFECTS

THE WORKING PROCESS
 COST OF THE OPERATING PROCESS IS HIGH
 PROCESS IS SENSITIVE TO SOME TYPES OF WASTES

9
INTERMITTENT SAND FILTER

 Intermittent sand filter system is used in

treatment of waste water.
 They are considered to be secondary treatment
systems since they usually require the primary
treatment of sewage by a septic tank.

10
 ADVANTAGES

 ISFs produce a high quality effluent that can be

used for drip irrigation.
 ISFs have low energy requirements.
 No chemicals are required.

11
 DISADVANTAGES

 The land required area may be limiting factor.

 Regular (but minimal) maintenance is required.
 Clogging of the filter media is possible.

12
ROTATING BIOLOGICAL CONTACTOR

 Rotating biological contactors are a conventional

aerobic biological wastewater treatment unit.
 It consists of a series of closely spaced, parallel
discs mounted on a rotating shaft which is
supported just above the surface of the waste
water.
 Microorganisms grow on the surface of the discs
where biological degradation of the wastewater
pollutants takes place.
ROTATING BIOLOGICAL CONTACTOR
ADVANTAGES

 High contact time and high effluent quality.

DISADVANTAGES

 Continuous electricity supply required.

 Must be protected against sunlight, wind and rain.
 Odour problems may occur.
 Requires permanent skilled technical labour for
operation and maintenance.
