SEWAGE TREATMENT
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.
Process steps
Treating wastewater has the aim to produce an effluent
that will do as little harm as possible when discharged to
the surrounding environment, thereby preventing pollution
compared to releasing untreated wastewater into the
environment. In highly regulated developed countries,
industrial effluent usually receives at least pre-treatment if
not full treatment at the factories themselves to reduce the
pollutant load, before discharge to the sewer. This process
is called industrial wastewater treatment.
Primary treatment
Secondary treatment
Tertiary treatment
PRETREATMENT:
Primary treatment:
Aeration tank
Secondary Treatment
It removes dissolved and suspended biological matter.
Secondary treatment is typically performed by indigenous,
water-borne microorganisms in a managed habitat.
Secondary treatment may require a Separation process to
remove the micro-organisms from the treated water before
discharge or tertiary Treatment. It includes Fixed-film or
attached growth, Suspended-growth, Secondary
sedimentation.
Tertiary Treatment
It is sometimes defined as anything more than primary and
secondary treatment to allow rejection into a highly
sensitive or fragile ecosystem (estuaries, low-flow rivers,
coral reefs). Treated water is sometimes disinfected
chemically or physically (for example, by lagoons and
microfiltration) before discharge into a stream, river, bay,
lagoon or wetland, or it can be used for the irrigation of a
golf course, green way or park. If it is sufficiently clean, it
can also be used for groundwater recharge or agricultural
purposes. It is also called "effluent polishing. "The purpose
of tertiary treatment is to provide a final treatment stage
to further improve the effluent quality before it is
discharged to the receiving environment.
