 TENDERING
•PROCESS OF TENDERING
Tendering is dome for every work in NMPT. The tendering process in the construction includes the following stages:
• Pre -Tender Stage: In this stage the details of the contracts are shared with the clients and general specification of
the work that needs to be completed is given.
• Tender Advertisement Stage: In this stage, to make bidding more competitive, the basic details of tender are
published in newspaper, magazines to increase its reach and have more players in the bidding.
• Tender Opening Process: Bids will be opened when there are more than two bidders participating unless in
special condition viz work need to be immediately done Quantity surveyors usually will handle the tender opening
process. To ensure the integrity of the competitive process, the evaluation of proposals must be undertaken
objective, consistently and without bias towards particular suppliers.
• Closing of Tender: The tender notices will mention the time and date of the tender closing processes. If the
contractor fails to submit their bids within a specific time and date, it considers the contractor refusal to bid for the
tender.
• Tender Evaluation Process: There are two criteria which are to be followed that is technical and financial. Details
provided by all the bidders will be evaluated according to these.
 SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
• Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from Waste water, primarily
from household sewage. Physical, chemical and biological processes and are used to
remove contaminants and produce treated waste water that is safer for the environment.
• A by-product of sewage treatment is usually a semi-solid waste water or slurry, called
sewage sludge. The sludge has to undergo further treatment before being suitable for
disposal or application to land.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION

1. COLLECTION TANK
As sewage enters the collection tank and the water level
rises, pumps are engaged to pump out the sewage to a forced
main, or the sewage is lifted to a higher grade to continue
the gravity flow to the outlet point.
Fig: Collection tank
2. EQUALIZATION TANK

• The waste water from the collection tank is

pumped onto the equalization tank from the 6-
inch pipe which is through a fine screen.

• After the water comes to the equalization tank

the coarse air diffuser is there.

• Air diffuser are used to supply oxygen to

water. When the oxygen is supplied to water
Fig: Equalization Tank
breakdown occurs. Around 50% of the bacteria
die here. It is kept for 3-4 hrs.
3. SBR TANK
From the equalization tank it is pumped to SBR tanks. When the oxygen is supplied
to water it reacts with MLSS and eats up all the bacteria or impurities present in the
raw sewage. This reaction takes place at least for 3-4 hrs. the operator regulates the
air supply to the tanks. When the air supply is closed, the sludge settles down.
Therefore, partial eluent flows upwards. This is 2- 3 hrs. process.

STAGE 1: FILLING

The SBR tank is filled with the effluent sewage water.

STAGE 2: REACTION

By the application of micro-organism, the utilization of BOD and ammonia

nitrogen is involved.
STAGE 3: SETTLING:

• The actual biological cleaning by micro-organism takes place in the

SBR tank. Short aeration and rest phases alternate in a controlled
cleaning process.

• This stage involves the BOD (BIOLOGICAL OXYGEN

DEMAND) and ammonia nitrogen (microorganism).

• During this stage aeration is stopped and the sludge settles down.
Duration if settling carries from 45-60 minutes depending on the
number of cycles per day. Fig: The settling tank.
5. DECANT TANK
• Once the aeration is stopped in the SBR tank
the MLSS is settled at the bottom and the
water on the top is transferred to the “decant
tank”.
• Decant water is partially pure. The butterfly
wall is present which when opened helps in
the passage of the decant water from the SBR
tank.
Fig: Decant Tank

6. SLUDGE DIGESTER

• Excess activated sludge is wasted periodically.

If the MLSS reach up to 2500-3000 ppm (less
than 5000ppm) it is passed on to the sludge
bed.

7. PSF AND ACF
• Pressure Sand Filter is used for removal of suspended
solids and turbidity from water and easts water.
• Activated Carbon Filtration are generally employed in
the process of removing organic compounds and
extracting free chlorine from water, thereby making the
water suitable for discharge or use in manufacturing
process.

8. ULTRA -FILTRATION
• In waste treatment, ultrafiltration (UF) devices are used to recycle and reuse
water that contains virtually no physical solids.
Fig: Ultra-filtration process
9. DOZING
• The chemicals are used to clean the
membrane. The chemical used are in the
diluted form
• Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI)
• Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
• Hydrochloric acid (HCI)

 WATER SUPPLY
• NMPT is catering to the water requirement of its Port Staff colony,
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Registered Cargo
Handling Workers (RCHW) colony, NMPT offices, Railway yard,
Port users and ships.

• Water usage of NMPT is for domestic and office purposes. Water

supply to ship is done on a chargeable basis. Water is also used for
plantation and gardening. Treated Sewage water is used by NMPT
for dust suppression in wharf area. Fig: Overhead tank at thimmapayya well

• The average daily consumption at NMPT is 2600kL/day. For some months this is done on a chargeable basis. Water
is also used up to 3250kL/day while the lowest consumption stands at 1872kL/day. April and may months have
high water scarcity hence these months are not considered wile calculating the average. Out of this
2600kL,1700kL/day is consumed by residential and non-residential areas,100kL/day for commercial
purpose ,650kL/day by wharf area other than vessel and 150kL/day is consumed by vessels.
THIMMAPPAYYA PUMPHOUSE

This pump has two 75 HP Pumps and 10 HP pump. Usually, water is pumped from one of the 75HP pumps while the
other is at stand by. The 10 HP pump is used when the water level is low, usually in the months of April and May. Fig a is
the thimmapayya well and Fig b is the process of water treatment and inside view of the water treatment.

 CONCLUSION
In a nutshell, this internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience at NMPT. A lot has been learned from my work at the port
without prior experience in this sector. The technical aspects of my work could be flawless but could be improved over time.

Although imperfect, my work's technical elements could be strengthened over time. Apart from having good time management skills and
being motivated by oneself, the following are the primary things I have learned:

1. Handling various goods imported and exported from the harbor and different storage facilities.

2. The working and operation of the railway and the construction of rail routes.

3. The basic information on the entire tendering process.

4. The treatment process of Sewage water is a purification for further usage.

I cannot accomplish a few things during my internship period because of time restrictions. The details are as follows.

1. Estimation and handling of tenders

2. Moving belt technology operation

With advanced knowledge, some skills, like estimation and tendering, can enhance existing expertise and serve as the finest add-on for future
use.
