 DESIGN OF
SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANT
 ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this project is to design a sewerage system of capacity 80 KLD
sewage treatment plant based on extended aeration activated sludge process located in
Basaweshwar Block Hostel.
The Sewage Treatment involves Preliminary, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Treatment
include Unit Operations and Unit Processes to remove physical, chemical and biological
contaminants. The treated effluent can be discharged into a stream. The stabilized sludge
can be used as a soil conditioner. Samples are collected regularly at the plant inlet as well
as before and after each treatment process. The raw sewage is characterized by high
dissolved solids, medium strength BOD, and low COD/BOD ratio. These are typical
characteristics of the sewage in this region. The plant is designed, operated and maintained
so as to ensure safety and reliability in the treated effluent quality. Any overloading of the
treatment processes is handled effectively. The reclaimed water quality meets the
international standards and guidelines for landscape irrigation and farming.
