Background

 The worldwide population is increasing rapidly especially in urban

areas.

 Nowadays quickly build apartments plentiful of urban areas because

the land area is not enough.

 Untreated wastewater has a great impact on the environment and

human health.

 Urban wastewater management.

Aim of the research project

 Study of sewerage and waste water disposal system in apartment complexes.

 4
Objectives

 To design a septic tank for the selected apartment (assume the land area is enough)

 To find out the working capacity of septic tank.

 To compare the water quality of disposal waste water.

 To identify the waste water disposal technology in selected apartment

Literature review

Researcher Year Study Area Results

Wasana 2016 Importance of proper monitoring and Analyzed samples have among
Gunawardana maintenances of on site waste water the tolerance limit stage of
treatment system. effluent for the irrigation
purposes but the many samples
above the limit of effluent into
surface water.
A H M shahidullah 1995 Quality of wastewater in septic tank made New approach has been proposed
for different combinations of domestic regarding the septic tank with
effluent quality effluent.

S.B. koralegedara 2014 Emerging issues of household sewage The construction and placement

Proposed methodology

 Design a septic tank and soakage

 We will calculate the average daily flow of black water, average daily flow of grey water

 Study the wastewater treatment plant

 How they guaranty with the system.
 What kind of pre arrangements for suddenly break down the system.
 How often maintenance this system.
 What kind of filters they used.
 System spare parts are easily find out or not.

Expected outcomes

How they maintenances the system and

how they insure that system is does not
breakdown.

Treatment plant I will study these

requirements can be satisfy doing these
things well.

I hope to give a system, it does not

problem for resident at any time.
