It is common knowledge that our country depends on a good and favourable

monsoon to cater for our water requirement. We are still depending on the

vagary of nature for our water needs. The time has come to de-risk ourselves

and our economy from this uncertainty. This calls for simple innovative

solutions. We are basically an agrarian economy and ground water is our

biggest natural source to the extent that ground water supplies around 70% of

our water needs across agriculture, industry and domestic consumption.

Therefore prudent ground water management is the need of the hour.

Besides ground water management there are other ways by which we can

manage and conserve our water resource. One such major resource is

wastewater reuse and recycling. We are all aware that sanitation is bedrock of

public health and still a greater part of our country is without a sewerage

system and in many places it is left out in the open which is a huge health

hazard.

In the early days in urban areas Centralised Sewage Treatment plants were

constructed which treated the sewage and let it off into the sea or into another

form of wet land. Over the years technology of treating waste has

considerably improved. Nowadays decentralised STP’s are adopted and

these are being made mandatory in big developments. The waste is treated

and recycled for benecial non-potable use. Earlier there was a stigma in

using this water but active media and social campaigning has managed to

spread the awareness and now it is actively being put to use. STP’s are a little

capital intensive but if prudently managed and conserved the ROI is less than

5 years.

In any residential development unfortunately only 40% of the waste is

recycled to meet the ushing and landscaping needs and the rest nds its

way to the city drainage system. This is a colossal waste of resource. We

should nd a way to use this water for road washings and for industrial use.

Some of the developed countries are doing this. Agreed there will be a large

cost initially to set up the infrastructure but it is a denite way out to reduce the

water footprint. These days technology is available to convert wastewater for

potable use.

The focus of this issue of IPT is on wastewater treatment. I trust the readers will

nd this interesting. Stay safe and take good care of yourselves and the

environment.

STP, when properly designed ,installed and maintained

seldom poses any problem and is immensely benecial

for saving water. The plant that has been described

below is installed at Ghodbunder, Thane, on the

outskirts of Mumbai. The salient features of the

Wastewater TreatmentBy N. Ramesh

the solutions are also to be supported by all, if we want

to leave behind a greener future for our next generations.

Water & Wastewater management basic

principles:

• Avoid or reduce wastage of fresh water/natural

water (surface and ground water)

• Use fresh water mainly for human direct

consumption (drinking, cooking, bathing & laundry)

• Use recycled water for all other needs (toilet ush,

gardening, vehicle wash, oor wash etc)

• Segregate wastewater streams at source (grey water

& black water)

• Recycle segregated wastewater with minimum but

efcient & appropriate treatment.

• Monitor the quality of the recycled water and take

measures to prevent cross contamination/mixing

with fresh water.

• Harvest Rainwater which can be used for gardening

or washing

Wastage reduction:

Many devices & instruments are in the market to reduce

wastage of fresh water during routine consumption.

Use of press-knob taps instead of normal turn-handle

taps, level switches in storage tanks to prevent overow,

tap aerators in kitchen sinks and bath showers,

Centralized drinking water RO systems for large housing

complexes with reject water recovery in place of

individual RO units with approximately 50 % wastage of

water in the form of reject etc.

Reduction of water losses in leakages through

distribution networks is possible with latest

instrumentation and tracking tools. Preventing

contamination of fresh water is also a way of reducing

wastage. If a freshwater body like a lake becomes the

host for domestic sewage and debris, no more ora and

fauna are supported, rather it becomes breeding

ground for mosquitoes and eventually public health

menace. Many lakes in urban zones become dump yards

and later disappear to give space for a future shopping

mall or other mega building complex!

Polluting natural waters and wastage of fresh water

must be deemed as social crime.

We all know that water is the critical most ingredient for

life. Civilizations developed along riverbanks, didn’t

they? Scientically we say water is the best solvent. Our

ancestors knew more that water dissolves our sins too!

Hence the holy dips in Ganga and other sacred rivers

across the country by millions even today.

Civilizations did not stop at riverbanks, we built towns

and cities and dug canals and ponds to divert river water

to where we live and store it too. Those were the days

when the natural water did not require much treatment

other than ltering and disinfection for drinking. We all

think water is god given and it must be free for our use,

right? Agreed, but we need to pay for bringing it to our

home by pumping, piping and treating before it is

delivered to our homes. We also think that water is free

to spoil. It is not so. We have no right to contaminate the

natural water by any means. Water contamination or

wastewater has multi-fold facets, broadly industrial,

agricultural, commercial and domestic and several

subcategories as well. Here we shall limit the focus to

domestic wastewater only, as it is not practical to cover

all aspects in this article.

It is understandable that the main issue with water and

wastewater in urban areas is simply population density.

Compared to individual houses spread out over

spacious lands in the by-gone era, we are now crowded

in towns and cities with vertical growth. Multi-storied

apartments have become both inevitable and thrust

upon us as well, due to the tremendous demand for

shelters in cities where citizens nd employment

relatively easily than in interior districts. Infrastructure

and facilities, that are available in cities, are scarce in rest

of the regions. Hence, this factor further drives people

to move to urban zones even if it is not necessary for

some of them. The steep rise in population density in

cities demands equal supply of water in proportion,

within the same footprint of land and the need to

manage the resulting wastewater in turn.

Here are some thoughts towards possible solutions,

which may not be difcult to conceive but need

determination to implement in our complex situation in

the country, with honesty and sense of responsibility.

Collectively we are all responsible for the current

situation with water & environment, i.e., the

authorities, corporate and the public all together. So,

/DECEMBER 2020 11

Almost all the above said proven technologies revolve

around the basic principle of use of wide spectrum of

bacteria for degradation of organics in the form of BOD

& COD present in the wastewater. The main difference is

only the separation of the treated water from the pool

of bacteria called biomass. For example, various types of

clarications systems are used in case of activated

sludge process, Membranes in case of Membrane Bio

reactor. In a nutshell the main function of degradation

of organics is done by bacteria.

Therefore, we need to select the treatment process

which suits the requirement and the following are some

of the Selection criteria for Biological (Aerobic)

wastewater treatment:

Ÿ Treatment efciency

Ÿ Process Stability

Ÿ Ease of operation and maintenance

Ÿ Space Requirement

Ÿ Cost effectiveness

Ÿ Operating Cost and many more.

Recycling of treated wastewater has gained impetus

when the costs of membrane technology started easing

over decades since their commercial market entry. RO

has been in the fore front of all membrane separation

technologies, and UF, MBR are now commonly sighted

in tertiary treatment systems. Chlorine as a disinfectant

is being replaced by Ozone and UV due to formation of

undesirable by-products with chlorination.

Actually, at this point of time we have ample number of

technologies available to treat wastewater to disposal

standards and also tertiary treatment technologies for

recycling.

Wastewater treatment - Pre and Post

COVID Scenario

a. Effect on Wastewater treatment plants:

The ongoing COVID has taught us more on self-

immunity boosting, sanitation and keeping ourselves

and the environment clean and sterile. With the entry of

COVID many started using Alcohol based sanitizers and

many organics-based chemicals / disinfectants for

cleaning and sanitization purposes. This invariably

increases the organics load to the wastewater

treatment and affects the performance of the system by

giving organics and chemical shock loading. The

increased use of detergents/ soaps and water for

sanitization has also affected the efcacy of the

wastewater treatment systems.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to go in for Green,

water-based Sanitization program to mitigate the

above ill effects.

Segregate and treat:

Several societies are already implementing grey

water(sullage) segregation in apartment complexes.

Wastewater from bathrooms, kitchen, wash basins and

washing machines etc (excluding the WC waste) is

referred to as grey water which contributes to

approximately half of total domestic wastewater on

average. As grey water contains fewer pathogens

compared to sewage, it is easier to handle, treat and re-

use on site for non-potable needs.

When grey water is separated, the remaining black

water from WC’s forms the sewage input to STP. This

reduces the hydraulic load of STP. There are concerns of

high BOD/COD levels in sewage after grey water

separation. Conventional biological treatment can

easily handle these loads.

Some apartment complexes have separate Flush Water

tanks with separate piping to toilet ush. But the grey

water may or may not be separated. If not separated, all

the wastewater ends up in STP. But the treated sewage is

fed to Flush water tanks and used for gardening.

For new developments, segregation of grey water drain

lines must become a norm. For individual houses also it

helps to segregate grey water drains and sewage lines.

Simple treatment like Ultraltration can be used to

reclaim good quality water for re-use.

Wastewater Treatment - Domestic:

Multiple proven technologies are in use for Domestic

wastewater treatment some of which are listed below.

Ÿ Activated Sludge Treatment – AST

Ÿ Extended Aeration

Ÿ Rotating Biological Contactor -RBC

Ÿ Fluidised Bed Reactor - FBR

Ÿ Moving Bed Bio Reactor – MBBR

Ÿ Sequencing Batch Reactor -SBR

Ÿ Membrane Bio Reactor – MBR

/DECEMBER 2020 12

Page 15: N ( WAL KY INETO ATHER

Ÿ During the initial phase when the ow is less, various

operational process related issues viz, sludge

bulking, sludge carry over, increased choking of

lters and pipelines due to higher hydraulic

retention time – HRT are faced.

Ÿ Wear and tear of the standby equipment which are

meant for second phase expansion.

Ÿ Smell / Odor issues due to higher hydraulic retention

in the various treated water storage tanks.

Looking at the above practical issues associated with

centralized wastewater treatment facilities esp. during

Post Covid situation, it may be more viable and

appropriate to look at the Pre-engineered, Pre-Moulded

Advanced Decentralized wastewater treatment systems

which are available in required capacities in the market.

b. Central ized vs Advanced Decentral ized

Wastewater treatment plants

Wastewater management systems can be either

conventional centralized systems or Advanced

Decentralized systems (ADTS). Centralized systems are

usually planned, designed and operated to collect

(through long collection & high cost (both CAPEX &

OPEX) pumping systems and treat large volumes of

wastewater for the entire communities/ housing

complexes.

On the other hand, ADTS treat wastewater of cluster of

houses, apartment blocks/industrial parks or small

communities close to their origin. In case of

decentralized systems (ADTS), both solid and liquid

fractions of the wastewater are utilized near their point

of origin.

TYPICAL CENTRALISED WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT (WWTP) WITH HEAD ROOM (W/O FEASIBILITY FOR PARKING / GARDENING IN

SAME AREA OVER THE WWTP. IN CASE IF THE SAME IS MADE TOTALLY UNDERGROUND MECHANICAL VENTILATION FACILITY TO BE

PROVIDED.

Earlier (Pre-Covid) even for bigger housing complexes

only centralized wastewater treatment facilities were

built at one common location preferably in the

basement for effective space utilization with

mechanical ventilation facility.

Common Issues faced by developers and Builders

with Centralized Wastewater treatment system:

Ÿ Huge investment cost on Civil and structural works

for building the centralized wastewater treatment

facility irrespective of the slow construction pace due

to less demand / phased expansion. Almost 70 - 80 %

of the total project cost on wastewater treatment

facility is required for civil and structural works. Only

the balance investment of 20 - 30 % on electro-

mechanical works which are generally done in

phased manner.

Ÿ Higher Operation and Maintenance cost

Ÿ Manpower demand due to non-availability of

Migrant workers

The following are some of the benets if we opt for

Advanced Decentralized wastewater treatment

systems:

Ÿ Right CAPEX investment in a phased manner

Ÿ Just in time investment

Ÿ Minimal Civil and Structural work

Ÿ Reduced wastewater collection network

Ÿ Mechanical ventilation system could be eliminated

Ÿ Effective space saving (Car parking facility / Green

cover over the plant area)

Ÿ Reduced wear and tear

Ÿ Reduced CAPEX

Ÿ Minimal manpower requirement

Ÿ Total elimination of smell/ odour issues as they are

totally covered

Ÿ Minimal / no pumping as the units are very closer to

the generation point (gravity ow)

Ÿ And many more.

TREATMENT PLANT

With this decentralized approach for wastewater

treatment and recycling, appropriate treatment can be

offered to obtain water as required for varied recycle

usages.

While offering the treatment we need to remember

some of the below important points:

1. Flushing water need to be free from all microbes esp.

Pathogens through proper Disinfection and green

sanitization program.

2. Recycled water usage for gardening and

landscaping need micronutrients viz., N and P.

Therefore, total removal of micronutrient in the

treatment plant is not mandatory.

3. Life cycle cost must be taken into consideration

Let us learn to manage the water for better and healthy

environment.

Sewerage solutions

for difcult situations When gravity sewers are unsuitable, vacuum sewerage technology

can provide the answers – and with multiple added benefits

By Peter Dunne

AN EXPERT VIEW

Vacuum sewerage network including vacuum station and wastewater tank

made up of fully watertight piping, will not allow any

ingress of water. By the same token, wastewater cannot

leak out into the ground, the vacuum pressure within

the pipework will prevent any such leakage. Vacuum

sewage networks, being tightly sealed, will never emit

unpleasant smells. Another advantage is that vacuum

sewerage technology can enable wastewater to be

transported, if necessary upwards. An example is a

requirement for sewerage piping to cross a river,

without pumping, this is difcult with a gravity sewer. A

vacuum sewer pipe can, however, easily be laid, either

under or over the river.

Traditional gravity sewers handle the transportation of

wastewater from buildings to the sewage treatment

works, yet occasionally certain conditions arise where,

for a variety of reasons, they are unable to provide the

best solution, whether from a technical or cost

perspective. This can, for instance, be the case when

ground water tables are high, congested housing

prohibits the installation of conventional gravity

systems, or where there is danger of ooding. Here,

leaks, as well as manholes, in gravity sewer networks

can lead to overlling and resulting problems. Vacuum

sewerage will eliminate this risk because the network,

/DECEMBER 2020 16

Page 19: N ( WAL KY INETO ATHER

Vacuum sewer networks require special valves, which

are usually located in the below-ground vacuum

collection chambers, close to the buildings where the

wastewater is coming from. These are automatically

activated, as soon as a certain pre-dened quantity of

Vacuum chamber with valves

The strong vacuum force within the network ensures

that wastewater ows at high speed, this in turn leads

to a self-cleaning effect, so keeping the pipework free of

obstructions at all times and preventing the build-up of

fats etc. Vacuum sewers consist of pipes that are of

much smaller diameter than gravity sewers, pipe

diameters of between 110 mm or 160 mm are typical.

These are therefore not only much easier quicker and

cheaper to install; they can also be laid at much

shallower depths, with just 1.0 meters or 1.2 meters

depth being normal. The very signicant cost savings

that result is therefore self-evident.

wastewater has been collected in the chamber. The

vacuum within the system then sucks this wastewater

into the network, and transports it very quickly into a

holding tank, where it is collected; to be later pumped

to a sewage treatment plant, pump station or existing

sewer. A recent very signicant development, leading to

further improved automation efciency and security,

has been in the eld of “chamber management from a

distance”, This constantly remotely monitoring, as well

as remotely inuencing and controlling, system

operation, to always ensure the best operation. This

chamber management system, not only detects any

imperfect valve operations and immediately identies in

which vacuum chamber the valve in question is located;

it also reacts proactively and automatically, for instance

by completely deactivating and closing the valve, in

order to prevent a temporary excess of wastewater from

enter ing the vacuum system. The chamber

management system can also be programmed to

automatically open and close valves at certain pre-

dened and pre-programmed times, a very useful

measure in situations such as may exist whenever a

property is vacant for several weeks or months, and

there has therefore been no wastewater generated for a

longer period. The management system thereby

counteracts any danger that might otherwise possibly

exist of a reduced vacuum level at the valve in question

limiting its performance. Information about the status

and current operation of every single vacuum valve in a

network can be obtained by suitably authorised

personnel at all times, and in “real time”, as well as

remotely, simply by logging in to the process control

software of the management system, either with a PC

plus the internet, or using a mobile phone. By this

means a valve, or valves, can also be remotely controlled

by authorised personnel. With such a management

system safety and security of the network is guaranteed

and problems within the system can be detected,

analysed and resolved quickly and efciently by the

O&M Teams.

In 2016, Client approached us to design water supply

and Drainage work for said factory. Design theme by

Client was to . All new scientic Celebrate Engineering

technologies were to be part of design brief since

inception of the project.

Giving below a list of the client design brief

requirements.

Ø Minimal use of water (All CP faucets used should be

green)

Ø Minimal use of energy for pumping of water

Ø Siphonic roof drainage

Ø Rainwater harvested in 1.0 crore litre pond within

the site.

Ø Organic degradation of Faeces on Biological

principles plus reusing the reclaimed water.

Client or consultants were not aiming for any Rating

but scientific engineering standards to be

incorporated, go beyond statutory requirements

and be sustainable and environment friendly.

Water is needed in virtually every industrial and

manufacturing process. Regulatory restrictions on

wastewater discharge, combined with corporate

accountability pressures, are increasing the cost of

doing business, challenging industries in all sectors to

find ways to conserve, treat, and reuse the

wastewater.

Metagenomic Tools

It is about treating the organic molecules depending

upon their nature, various microbes that degrade them,

and providing suitable environment for them to

operate. Metagenomic tools is about keeping in view

the insitu conditions where each microbe behaved

under a particular stress condition not necessarily ideal.

Moreover, many of them are not cultivable. So, how

they behave in a lab condition is not known. The

meander type septic tank provides solid retention time

and quiescence under which microbial degradation and

pathogen elimination is happening.

Modern metagenomic tools to understand microbes

with a role in organic degradation:

FISH - Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization

PCR - Polymerase Chain Reaction

SIP - Stable Isotope Probe

MAR - Molecular Auto Radiography

CLPP - Community Level Physiological Probe

DGGE - Denaurating Gradient Gel Electrophoresis

CE - Capillary Electrophoresis

And many others.

The treatment system consists of Bio reactor (Meander

type septic tank) followed by a 50 sqmt of planted Bio

bed (HSSFW). The bed has wetland plants growing over

the gravel media and is designed as a horizontal sub-

surface ow (HSSF) wetland system. The bed is

rectangular in shape with gravel layer up to 0.8 m deep.

The inlet and outlet zones are lled up with larger

/DECEMBER 2020 22

Page 24: N ( WAL KY INETO ATHER

gravels of 50-100 mm diameter. There is also a water regulation chamber before the nal collection tank.

The septic tank efuent (Solid free sewerage) overows to a HSSFCW by gravity. The water level in the HSSFCW is

maintained approx. 5 cm below the gravel surface, thus, preventing odour and mosquito breeding. Initially, the

wetland was planted with Vetiver perennial grass which is popularly known as khus in western and northern India.

Conclusion:

Since last 2 years, no water from SML factory is discharged. Also, no energy is utilized in organic degradation of soil

wastewater. Implementing these design philosophies was easy, affordable, and sustainable. We need to focus on

water management to solve water and energy crisis across the country.

Stormwater / Rain water Harvesting.

Urban development and most other human changes from natural conditions result in increased storm water runoff.

Storm water design is done in such a way that storm water runoff does not change after construction of factory and

site development. This was achived by creating pond and construction of recharge wells.

Typically, after development (75–100 percent impervious cover), there is a 45 percent increase in surface run-off, a 20

percent decrease in deep inltration, a 15 percent decrease in shallow inltration and a 10 percent decrease in

evapotranspiration compared to a natural pre development landscape. A surface run-off increase of as little as 10

percent can result in damage to local streams. But at SML we have tried to mimic natural surface runoff.

Storm water runoff is diverted in storm water drains through siphonic roof drainage system. Storm water drains are

discharging storm water into Artically created Pond/Lake. Overow from lake is going into percolation wells. In case of

torrential rain, when all above is lled then as a factor of safety; provision is also made to connect overow from pond

to GIDC drain with back ow prevention. Under normal circumstances there is zero discharge of water from the plant.

Current Scenario

The Public Toilets in India are dirty, disgusting, sloppy. The process is distinctly unhealthy, unsafe and strenuous,

especially for women due to prompt intimate physical contact with the facilities which is prone to spread diseases.

Due to scarcity of proper water, lighting, and unhygienic facilities women hesitate to use Public Toilets. Further as

these facilities are unmanned, poses security threat to women & children.

will focus on solutions that will enable efcient use of

water through smart and IoT based technologies. These

water supply and management solutions will be further

enhanced by compact and aesthetically made designs

to reect the improved standard of living in the country.

Visiting the upcoming edition will be extremely

benecial for architects, real estate developers and

government associations.”

ISH India powered by IPA successfully hosted its

Virtual Edition September 2020 witnessed the rst

virtual edition of ISH India powered by IPA that

showcased 980 products from 48 brands, including 15

live product demonstrations and 6 knowledge sessions.

Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India along with Indian

Plumbing Association (IPA) announced the dates for

the upcoming edition of ISH India powered by IPA

bringing back face-to-face business interactions for

the building technology sector from 20 – 22 May 2021.

The building technology sector is witnessing a major

shift in the consumer behaviour with focus on

sanitation and water conservation taking centre stage

due to the pandemic and the impending threats of

climate change. Recent reports mentioned that globally,

the water and wastewater treatment market is expected

to grow at a CAGR of 6.7 per cent between 2020 to 2027

to reach USD 242.6 billion* whereas, upsurge in hygiene

awareness has changed the concept of bathrooms in

modern homes. Strong growth in affordable and mid-

income housing projects, and growing standard of

living are also major factors providing a boost to the

plumbing, bathroom ttings and xtures market in

India.

Keeping this growth trajectory in view, the upcoming

edition of ISH India powered by IPA that is scheduled

from 20 – 22 May 2021 will undoubtedly be a crucial

meeting point to conduct ‘face-to-face’ interactions,

evaluate and source solutions catering to the demands

of the new normal. The leading B2B exhibition

connecting buyers and suppliers from sectors like

plumbing, sanitation, kitchen and bathroom ttings,

and water management systems will be hosted at

Bombay Exhibition Center, Mumbai.

Providing the best solutions for building technologies

under one roof

India’s only show covering the entire value chain of LED

lighting industry, LED Expo Mumbai will be scheduled

in parallel to ISH India powered by IPA. The show that

excels in smart and energy efcient lighting gears and

components along with premium displays for bathroom

and kitchen ttings by ISH India powered by IPA will

create a positive business environment to kindle

condence among various sectors of building

technologies.

Feedback

IPT 1. Geberit has a very comprehensive range related to water supply and drainage in

India. Do you plan to add new products to your existing range?

MA Currently no such plan

IPT 2. Are most plumbing contractors knowledgeable about correct plumbing installation

as per UIPC-I?

MA Quality of installation is often a challenge. Therefore, we ensure required Know-How while

training the contractors before a project starts.

IPT 3. What do you think that IPA should do, in the next 5 years, to promote good

plumbing practices on a large scale all over India as per UIPC-I?

MA Well, good question.

UIPC-I still contains many unpractical (for India) descriptions. Todays “modern Plumbing” is

much ahead and mostly driven by manufacturers. IPA should rethink the strategy and open

up for “modern Plumbing”.

e.g. UIPC-I still speaks about the fully ventilated drainage system. Not that it doesn’t work,

but todays technologies are far ahead. The mostly used “dual-stack system” (in India) is not

in UIPC-I. It’s actually a combination of a single stack and a parallel ventilated drainage

system.

Firstly, it is about a strong presence. Many consultants do not even know UIPC-I. They follow

the national building code etc.

It about a good combination of both.

IPT 4. Are most plumbing contractors and users aware about the differences in physical

and chemical properties between various kinds of plastic like ABS, PP, PEX, CPVC etc.?

MA No

IPT 5. Geberit has an enormous amount of experience on plumbing installations in Indian

conditions? Would you share some of your experience as case studies in our magazine

IPT?

MA Sure

IPT 6. Do you think that your sales and marketing staff need to be aware about the basic

principles of plumbing promoted in the UIPC-I?

MA yes

Page 53: N ( WAL KY INETO ATHER

IPT 7. Has Geberit done any ‘Tech Talk’s in India? If yes, how helpful were these events?

MA We did. Those events help to build awareness and may lead to business.

IPT 8. Which CSR activity in the field of plumbing has your organization found most

satisfying?

MA Build toilets for public schools

IPT 9. Can IPA, according to you, support and help manufacturers of plumbing materials

with activities that have not been done so far by IPA?

MA Yes, can collaborate in organising customised joint workshops, trainings and seminars

IPT 10. How do you see the future for plumbing industry post Covid?

MA Very positive and consolidation of big builders will spur the real estate growth which will

help faster adoption new and innovative plumbing technology solutions.

IPT 11. You have done quite a few webinars with IPA during the Lockdown period and post

that. How was your experience during these events?

MA It helped us stay connected with our target customers during the COVID.

IPT 12. This year IPPL was done on a virtual format and you were one of the sponsors.

Could you share your thoughts on this?

MA Virtual format was inevitable during COVID and helped.
