Sewage treatment plant process that includes sewage treatment on primary, Secondary or
biological and tertiary treatment process to improve quality of wastewater for recycle. With
increasing infrastructural development and water usage for various purposes such as domestic
and commercial, there is generation of waste water. Sewage treatment is the process of
removing contaminants from wastewater, primarily from household sewage. It includes
physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove these contaminants and produce
environmentally safe treated wastewater (or treated effluent). A by-product of sewage
treatment is usually a semi-solid waste or slurry, called sewage sludge that has to undergo
further treatment before being suitable for disposal or land application.
1. Oxidation:
The organisms oxidize a portion of organic Matter present in sewage into CO2, water and
energy.
Organic matter + O2+ Bacteria CO2+ H2O+ NH3 +Energy + other end products
2. Synthesis:
In second phase the other microbes get converted into new bacterial cells using a part of energy
released in oxidation
Organic Matter+O2+Bacteria+Energy New microbial cells
3. Endogenous Respiration:
Finally, the new microbial cells begin to consume their own cell tissue to obtain energy for cell
maintenance.
New microbial cell tissue + 5O2 5CO2+NH3+2H2O+Energy
Assumptions:
1. Complete mixing in aeration tank.
2. Influent substrate concentration is constant.
3. No microbial solids in raw water.
4. All reactions occur in reactor.
5. No microbial activity in clarifier.
6. No Sludge accumulation.
7. Steady state conditions prevails.
Application
1. Municipal wastewater
2. Effluent of anaerobic treatment process
3. Hotel/resorts
4. Foods and drinks industry
5. Any other type of wastewater with high degradable COD fraction
