TITLE: “Wastewater Treatment Plant Design”
INTRODUCTION: Municipal wastewater is a general term applied to
the liquid wastes collected from residential, commercial, and industrial
areas and conveyed by means of a sewerage system to a central location
for treatment. Water demand data are very useful in estimating the
wastewater characteristics. The average amount of municipal water
withdrawn in this project is approximately 620 liters per capital per day.
This amount includes residential, commercial, light industrial,
firefighting, public uses, etc.

OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this project are (A) To present

a full design of wastewater treatment plant for an intermediate town of
75000 capita. (B) Achieving a safe levels for re-use of the treated
wastewater in a different fields e.g. agricultural irrigation, ground
water recharge, cooling and other industrial purpose. (C) To insure a
sufficient degree of protection of health from adverse effect of pollution
and disease transmission by controlling the quality of treated
wastewater.

RATIONALE: Water is very important part of this universe. Water is

used for different purpose such as in residential, industries, agriculture,
public water use, etc. due to this water use there is scarcity of water held
in the environment so this project is done to make the water available
for different activities in the environment and to re-use the water after
treatment.
LITERATURE REVIEW: Water treatment is any process that
improves the quality of water to make it more acceptable for a
specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water
supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many
other uses, including being safely returned to the environment.
Water treatment removes contaminents and undesirable
components, or reduces their concentration so that the water
becomes fit for its desired end-use.
Early water treatment methods still used included sand filtration
and chlorination. The first documented use of sand filters to purify
the water supply dates to 1804, when the owner of a bleachery
in Paisley, Scotland, John Gibb, installed an experimental filter,
selling his unwanted surplus to the public. This method was refined
in the following two decades, and it culminated in the first treated
public water supply in the world, installed by the Chelsea
Waterworks company in London in 1829.

METHODOLOGY:
1. Collection of wastewater

2. Preliminary treatment

Physical treatment and clarification of large particles

Screening, Grit chamber

 3. Primary treatment

Physical treatment of small particle

Primary sedimentation tank, sludge collection and

Removal.

4. Secondary treatment

Biological treatment- mechanical aeration tank,

Secondary sedimentation tank

5. Tertiary treatment

Chemical treatment- filtration and disinfection

6. Sludge processing

Physical+ chemical+ biological
