 ABSTRACT

A sewage treatment plant is quite necessary to receive the domestic

and commercial waste and removes the materials which pose harm
for general public. Its objective is to produce an environmentally-safe
fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated
sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer) A
study on domestic waste water characterization has been performed
followed by the design of sewage treatment plant. The present study
involves the analysis of pH value, total solids, total suspended solids,
hardness, acidity, oils fats & greases, chloride, BOD and DO etc. The
samplings of the domestic waste have been done in different times of
the day to have an average data of the measured parameters.
Depending upon the values of these parameters, calculations are done
for designing the different units of a 30 MLD Sewage Treatment
Plant and a preliminary layout is prepared for the same.

INTRODUCTION
Pollution in its broadest sense includes all changes that curtail naturål utility
and exert deleterrous effect on life. The crisis triggered by the rapidly
growing population and industrialization with the resultant degradation of
the environment causes a grave threat to the quality of life Degradation of
water quality is the unfavorable alteration of the physical, chemical and
biological properties of water that prevents domestic, commercial,
industrial, agricultural, recreational and other beneficial uses of water.
Sewage and sewage effluents are the major sources of water pollution.
Sewage is mainly composed of human fecal material, domestic wastes
including wash-water and industlial wastes. The growing environmental
pollution needs for decontaminating wastewater result in the study of
characterization of waste water, especially domestic sewage. Sewage
Treatment Plant is a facility designed to receive the waste from domestic,
commercial and industrial sources and to remove materials that damage
water quality and compromise public health and safety when discharged into
water receiving systems. It includes physical, chemical, and biological
processes to remove various contaminants depending on its constituents.
Using advanced technology it is now possible to re-use sewage effluent for
drinking water.

The present study comprises the study on quality of domestic waste water
and industrial waste water(mixed sewage) . The study includes
characterization tests for pH value, acidity, alkalinity, chloride, turbidity &
BOD etc. Depending upon the values of these parameters, calculations are done
for designing the different units of a 30 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant and a
preliminary layout is prepared for the same

Objectives of the study:

The objective of municipal and industriål waste water treatment is to extract
pollutants, remove toxicants, neutralize coarse particles, kill pathogens so
that quality of discharged water is improved to reach the permissible level
of water to be discharged into water bodies or for agriculturål land

Treatment of water thus aims at reduction of BOD, COD, total solids, nitrogen
content etc. of receiving water bodies and prevention of bio-magnification of toxic
substances in food chain. The effluents to be disposed of without danger to human
health or unacceptable damage to the natural environment.

The objective of this project can be summarized as-

Physical, chemical and biological characterrzatlon of waste water.
