Our treatment scheme is based on the inlet parameters. It consists of the following steps:-

1. Screening

2. Oil Screamer
 3. Equalization

4. High Rate Soiled Contract Clarifier(HRSCC)

5. DAF- Dissolved Air floatation System.

6. PH correction Tank.

7. Clarified water tank.

8. Sludge Drying Bed.

9. Sludge pit.

10. MGF- Multi grade filter(out let)

1. Screening:

The raw effluent from the plant complex would be first screened through the bar screen, where all the
big particles are screened and clear effluent is taken into the Grit chamber and equalization tank.

2. Oil Screamer:

Oil screamer removes floating oil from collection zone of Equalization Tank.

3. Equalization:

The raw waste from the screen Chamber is collected in the equalization tank. Six hour retention is given
in the beginning for the effluent before taking it service. Air blower is also started with its respective
flow rate when retention period is complete and if level of effluent in tank is sufficient, pump can be
started. Keep the PH value of the raw effluent 9.5 to 11.0.It can be adjustable by dosing NaOH or HCl.

Operation:

Start unit after sufficient level i.e; P1 (Effluent transfer pump)

Start operation with aeration grid with blower B1 (Air blower pump). Open valve V-01, this liquid is taken
to clarifier.

4. Flocculation Clarification:

The equalization waste is then pumped into the flash mixer compartment of the HRCC, where coagulant
PAC and polymer is dosed in the flocculation compartment to aid in the process of settling. The overflow
from the flocculation compartments taken into the clarification zone of the clarifier for removal of TSS
and BOD/COD. The overflow from the clarifier is taken for further treatment while the under flow is
taken for sludge treatment.
5. High Rate solid Contract Clarifier:

Effluent from equalization tank is taken to HRSCC and the bio mass is settled by gravity in it. When
sufficient sludge level is there in SCL, sludge is taken to sludge pit. Output water is taken into BMT after
checking parameters. We dose two coagulant caustic and electrolyte polymer at HRSCC. At HRSCC P H
value should be 9.5 to 11.0.

Operation:

Start DP-1(PAC dosing pump), DP-2(Polymer dosing pump)

Start impeller and scraper of HRSCC

For sludge remove open V-1

6. Dissolved Air Flotation-DAF:

Air is dissolved under pressure in the liquid, which is then released to atmospheric pressure in the
floatation cell. As the microscopic air bubbles come out of solution, they attach to the suspended solids
in the liquid, causing them to float to the surface forming a thick sludge. A special skimmer removes the
sludge with the help of patented “KROFTA” SPIRAL SCOOP and pours it into the stationary centre section
from where it is discharged by gravity for either recycling or disposal.

7. PH correction Tank:

The clarified effluent form HRCC will have alkaline P H. Acid dosing (HCl) will be required to reach a
neutral PH(6.5-7.5) level for the on ward biological treatment.

8. Sludge Drying Bed:

The under flow from the HRSCC clarifier having a sludge consistency of around 2- 3% is called in the
sludge pit & through to the thickener tank from where it is pumped in to a sludge drying Bed for
dewatering is taken back to the equalization tank.

9. Sludge Pit(SP):

The sludge mainly comes from the HRSCC and only partly comes from LC. When level in sludge pit is ok,
sludge transfer pump can be started for further disposal.

Operation:

Start sludge transfer pump P3-A/B

This sludge is taken to centrifuge for disposal.

10. MGF- Multi grade filter (out let)

Finally treated water goes through the MGF for drain out let. Out let water PH should be 6.5-8.5
11. Record & Data

 Daily PH value measuring log book

 Daily chemical dosing & consumption log book

12. Operating range of different tanks PH & others parameters

 Equalization tank PH 9.5 to 11.o. Adjustable by dosing NaOH or HCl

 HRSCC tank PH 9.5 to 11.0, TS <2100 ppm, TDS <2100 ppm, SS <100ppm, DO: 4.5-8.5ppm, BOD
<50ppm, COD <200ppm, Oil & Grease <10 ppm. Above mention all the parameters can be
adjustable by dosing PAC, Electrolyte polymer and NaOH in a standard ratio.

 DAF system helps the treated water comes from HRSCC to maintain the acceptable range of BOD,
COD and DO.

 PH correction tank PH range should be 6.5 to 7.5. It can be adjustable by dosing HCl.

 Finally treated water goes through the MGF, before drain out through MGF there need 10 to 15 min back wash. Out
let water PH range will be 6.5 to 8.5.

ETP Plant starting time need to do:

 Operation starting time first increase the PH of raw Effluent (9.5 to 11.0) then dosing all chemicals.

 Please switch off the Effluent transfer pump before the starting time of PAC, Poly & NaOH dosing pump.

 Start Air blower.

 Start HRSCC (High rate soiled contract clarifier), RD (Roller drive) & SD (Scrapper drive)

 Start filter feed pump.

Chemical Dosing

 Please maintain jar test after every two to three hours of inlet Effluent.

 Make PAC & polymer solution after jar test.

 Please neutralize the Effluent before equalization tank.

 Poly Aluminum Chloride Dosing: 200 ppm = 200 mg/lit = 200 gm/m3

o 200 × 15 = 3000 gm/Hr = 3 kg per Hour.

 Poly Electrolyte Dosing: (0.5 to 1) ppm, 1 ppm = 1 mg/lit = 1 gm/m3

o 1 × 15 = 15 gm/Hr.
