The process will be of activated sludge extended aeration biological process of Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) type.
The MBBR process will be an aerobic system having two biological growth process- attached growth and suspended growth. The pretreated sewage from raw sewage collection tank will be pumped into MBBR where support media will provide more surface area for Biological growth. Oxygen will be added for biological growth through tubular diffusers.
The effluent will be uniformly pumped to MBBR Reactor to biologically degrade the organic matter. The oxygen required for the bacterial growth will be supplied through Diffuser systems. The system envisages better oxygen transfer because of fine bubbles and increased contact with the sewage.
The overflow from MBBR Reactor will gravitate to the Secondary clarifier. The arrested sludge will be pumped back to the Aeration tank to maintain the bacterial concentration in the tank and excess sludge will be sent to the Sludge collection pit and shall be dewatered using a Filter press. The filtrate will be taken to the Raw Sewage Collection Tank. The dried sludge can be used as manure.
Tertiary Treatment:
The treatment will include the following unit / equipment;
Filter feed tank
Pressure Sand Filter (PSF)
Activated Carbon Filter (ACF)
Ozonation System
The clear supernatant from the Secondary clarifier will be collected in a Filter feed tank this tank will be provided with level switch for unmanned operations. The treated sewage will be pumped to PSF followed by ACF. After ACF treated sewage will be passed through Ozonation System for disinfection. After Ozonation treated sewage will be collected in Treated Water Tank. Treated sewage from Treated Water Tank can be used for secondary requirement
