Type of wastewater treatment plantThis plant is a decentralized one since
chennai is a very large city.The plant is designed to serve 55000 people.It is a pilot project and its main purpose is
research and development.The water from the plant is sent to the river
or could later be processed to drinking water.

Principles of biological elimination of pollution
Elimination of organic matter org. C + O2 →Biomass + CO2 +H2O
Nitrification NH4 →NO3 / NO2
Denitrification NO3 / NO2→N2

Technical realization of the principle
In the first process we eliminate carbon.The second step is the nitrificaton process
where ammonia is converted into nitrogen di- oxide and nitrogen tri-oxide.
The next stage is the denitrification process, where nitrogen di-oxide and tri-oxide are converted into nitrogen gas.

ATV 131ATV means Abwassertechnische Vereinigung that is wastewater technical association in
English.
Using ATV 131, we can meet the achievable minimum effluent requirement which correspond with the requirements of the of the German waste water ordinance.

Main objective of ATV 131Technical regulations for the selection of the
most practical procedure for carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous removal and for the dimensioning of the essential components and facilities of the plant.

Membrane technology
Membrane technology utilizes a semipermeable membrane for the
separation of suspended and dissolved solids from water. There are two basic types
of membrane separation processes; pressure-driven and electrically-driven.
![Page 25: Technical calculations for the biological treatment plant](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/54b89bd24a7959547a8b460c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pressure-driven processes use hydraulic pressure to force water molecules through the membranes. In the electrically-driven membrane process, electric current is used to move ions across the membrane.

Settlement tanks are not required if membrane technology is used, hence the space required will be less.
Settlement Tanks are a limiting factor for the concentration for biomass in the aeration basin.
The used basin volume for 100000 inhabitants without membrane technology is 36653m3 , whereas with membrane technology it is 18462m3 .
