There are several factors that need to be considered when planning a Sewage Treatment Plant project in India. These factors include the cost, processes and time required to build and complete the facility. These factors will help you determine the feasibility of your project and the amount of money to invest in the project.
Cost of a sewage treatment plant in India
The cost of a sewage treatment plant project in the Indian subcontinent varies city to city. Construction costs include excavation and brickwork. Inside and outside plastering, gravel filter media, baffle walls, and plumbing are other expenses that go into constructing an STP. In some cases, the construction costs can exceed a million dollars, while in other cases can be less than a million dollars
A new drinking water treatment plant is underway in Tahoma, California, on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. The new plant will replace a temporary facility at Chambers Landing, and will provide permanent, all-season drinking water. The project also includes upgrades to other water systems along the lake's west shore.
The government of India is taking steps to improve the quality of water and sanitation in its cities. The country has the second largest population in the world, yet the majority of people do not have access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Consequently, a large portion of the wastewater is discharged without treatment into rivers, lakes and groundwater resources. The government is also taking steps to restore the Ganges river. For instance, it has backed a 14,000-m3/day sewage treatment plant in Allahabad, supported by the World Bank.
The project is the largest STP in Asia, with a capacity of five million litres per day (MLD). In addition to the STP, the project will also deal with issues related to water resources, such as sludge disposal. The new plant will also reduce the volume of wastewater in the river.
Processes involved in a sewage treatment plant
The main objectives of a sewage treatment project are to separate the liquid fraction from the solids, concentrate the solids and maximize the reuse potential. The solids portion of sewage is about 0.1%, and the carrier water comprises the remainder. Preliminary treatment involves using filters to remove grit and silt from the wastewater. The waste then passes through a primary sedimentation tank to remove any remaining solids. This stage also includes pumping away the wastewater for further treatment.
The next step in sewage treatment involves a biological process known as activated sludge. This process uses naturally occurring microorganisms to break down dissolved and suspended organic solids. After it settles, the wastewater passes through aeration tanks, where the air is blown into the water to promote the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. During this step, the bacteria and other microorganisms feed on the organic pollutants, converting them to water. Afterwards, the wastewater and the microorganisms are moved to a secondary sedimentation tank, where the biomass settles at the bottom.
The conventional process is another step in the sewage treatment process. It involves using a rectangular tank to process the wastewater. The wastewater is then introduced into the concentration of microorganisms, and the air is introduced to the tank through diffusers. Alternatively, the air may be replaced by pure oxygen. After this, the sludge is discharged back to the secondary sedimentation basin.
Time is taken to complete a sewage treatment plant.
It's no secret that a sewage treatment plant project can take months or even years to complete. In Mumbai, for example, sewage is generated at a rate of 2,400 million litres per day, and there are only 2,025 kilometres of sewers covering the city. This waste is collected at seven sewage treatment plants.
A recent project in Tirupur, India, was the first public-private partnership project in the country's water sector. This project, which won an award in the Global Water Awards industrial category, involved the construction of two new treatment works. Each scheme can treat up to thirty million litres of domestic sewage per day. The Tirupur Municipality maintains one of the two projects and supplies seven million litres of water to the city.
The wastewater used for the project was collected from STP III on the SRM University Campus and a sewage treatment plant in SRM Nagar. The sewage treatment plant's inlet flow was monitored weekly and double-checked two times a week to ensure that the treatment process was working effectively. The presence of suspended solids caused clogging in the treatment plant. After the treatment process, the wastewater is discharged into the surrounding lakes.
The entire project involves a series of stages that remove contaminants from the sewage. The first stage of the process involves removing organic matter and creating an effluent suitable for discharge. The second stage involves the reduction of biological oxygen demand in sewage. This is accomplished using aerobic and anaerobic processes
