PROPOSAL FOR SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

Design, Engineering, Manufacture, and Supply of

450 m3/day Sewage Treatment Plant By

ENVIROTECH F.Z.C

Process Description
The scheme proposed for the treatment of sewage is a compact and effective
Sewage Treatment Plant using the revolutionary Moving Bed Bio Reactor
(MBBR) technology. The concept underlining the Moving Bed bioreactor is
to provide continuously operating bio-film reactor, which is non-cloggable, does
not require backwashing and has a very low pressure drop. This is achieved by
growing the bio-film on smaller carrier elements that move along with the waste
water in the reactor. The air stream constantly keeps the bio media in suspension
and at the same time provides the required oxygen to the biomass.
The system uses specially designed bio-media, which provides a large surface
area for biological growth.
The bio-media is made of plastic material, which has a very long life. The media is
cylindrical in shape and provides a large surface area in the given volume. The
media provides about 500 m2 effective area for growth of the bio film per m 3 of
volume. The process has been developed in Norway and has been in use at many
installations in the UAE for treatment of sewage as well as industrial effluents.
The bio media used in these systems have been developed after years of research
in the field.
The proposed system consists of following staEnvirotech:
1. Manual Bar Screen and Grit Chamber
2. Sewage Collection and Pumping System
3. Fine Screening
4. Aerobic Treatment System
5. Filtration System
6. Disinfection System

1. Manual Bar Screen and Grit Chamber:

A coarse screen shall be provided for removal of floating debris from the sewage.
The waste water from kitchen shall be routed through oil-grease trap before it
enters the treatment plant. The coarse screen shall have spacing of 10 mm and
shall be periodically cleaned. The screen/grit chamber will be provided by
Envirotech. The grit settling in the grit chamber shall be drained periodically by
opening the drain valve. The outlet from the Screen Chamber is directed to the
collection tank.

2. Sewage Collection and Pumping System :

A Collection Tank shall be constructed by Envirotech for receiving the
raw sewage. The Collection tank shall be sized in a manner to have adequate
volume to counter the peak flow. Raw sewage transfer pumps shall pump the
sewage at a uniform rate to the aerobic treatment system. One Pump shall be on
duty and the other on stand by.
3. Fine Screening
The sewage shall be routed through a self standing inclined screen of 2mm spacing.
The inlet water fills the supply chamber and arrives up into the screen top. The
filtered water moved to the discharge chamber and then further to the aerobic
treatment system. The screened material runs along the screen and gets discharged
by gravity.
4. Aerobic Treatment System:
The proposed Aerobic Treatment System shall have the following major
components
a. MBBR Bio Reactor Units
b. Flocculation Tank
c. Tube Settler Unit
d. Aeration System

a. MBBR Bioreactors: The MBBR Aeration tanks are two in number and
are located next to each other. Each of the tanks shall be provided with
aeration pipelines at the bottom, which shall be in stainless steel and are
manifolded to cover half the periphery of the tank. Aeration tank is filled with
a specific quantity of the bio- media, which is made of plastic material with a
specific gravity just below that of water, to enable it to remain in suspension.
The inlet of the aeration tank is on the top with the sewage falling freely into
the MBBR tank. The outlet is located on the opposite side, which has a
perforated Screen mounted on it, which prevents the bio-media from flowing
out of the MBBR Tank. Both compartments are connected to each other by a
fabricated channel, which has perforated sheets on each side. The outlet of
the second MBBR is connected to the Flocculation tank.
b. Flocculation Tank: If the settleability of the sludge is poor, a mild dosage
of proprietary chemicals is dosed into the flocculation tank. The addition of
these chemicals will aid in the formation of large flocs of the sloughed off
sludge flowing in from the Bio Reactors and precipitated material. This step
also helps in de-emulsifying the emulsified oil present in the effluent and
precipitating the same along with the sludge.
c. Tube Settler Unit: Sewage from flocculation tank along with biologically
stabilized solids will flow by gravity to the Compact Tube Settler Unit. The
separation of solids from sewage is achieved by laminar flow developed
between the tubes. Due to this, heavier solids slide down along the inside of
the tubes, whereas the clear water rises up and flows out.
The sludge settling at the bottom of the tanks shall be transferred from time
to time to the sludge-holding tank. The clear water from the settling tank shall
overflow into the Filter Feed Tank.
d. Aeration System: The Aeration System consists of a pair of Air Blowers.
One Blower shall be on duty while the other shall be on stand by. The
Blowers shall be used for aeration inside the MBBR.

5. Filtration System:
This consists of a Pressure Sand Filter that removes any remaining suspended
solids in the treated water so as to ensure its total conformance with the
discharge standards set by the regulatory authorities. The Filter is to be
backwashed from time to time with water from the Treated Water tank.
6. Disinfection System:
The Disinfection System, which comprises of a dosing system, ensures complete
removal of any remaining harmful organisms in the water. The water flowing into
the Polishing Filter Feed Tank is dosed with an oxidant from above and then
allowed to remain in the tank for a predetermined time so that there is enough
contact time for the oxidant to totally disinfect the water.

Control System:
The control system shall be used for total operation control of the Plant. The controls
of all the equipments are given in the table below.
