 INTRODUCTION
WASTE WATER ……..
IT IS THE WATER WHICH IS RELEASED AFTER PERFORMING VARIOUS
HOUSHOLD TASKS ,FOR EXAMPLE LAUDRY , WASHING DISHES , LIQUID
INDUSTRIAL WASTES AND FLUSHING TOILETS , THUS IT IS NAMED AS
WASTE WATER. WASTE WATER CONTAINS DEBRIS (LITTER , PIECES OF
PLASTIC , RUBBLE AND ETC).
WASTE WATER IS BASICALLY DIVIDED INTO TWO :
1)GREY WATER (WATER THAT COME FROM KITCHENS , LAUNDRY AND
BATHING)
2) BLACK WATER (WATER THAT COMES FROM TOILETS ).
 SEWAGE WATER TREATMENT
WASTE WATER TREATMENT IS BASICALLY A PROCESS OR A PROCEDURE THROUGH WHICH THE CHEMICALS ,MICRO-ORGANISMS AND OTHER
TYPES OF POLLUTANTS ARE REMOVED.
WASTE WATER TREATMENT IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS : 1) PRIMARY TREATMENT 2) SECONDARY TREATMENT 3) TERTIARY TREATMENT.

PRIMARY TREATMENT
PRIMARY TREATMENT STARTS WITH SCREENING , THROUGH SCREENING SOLID POLLUTANTS THAT FLOWS WITH IT ARE STOPPED , SEPARATED
AND THEN DUMPED INTO THE LANDFILLS LIKE , RAGS , BOTTLES AND ETC . AFTER THAT SEWAGE WATER INTERS THE SKIMMING TAKES PLACE , IN
WHICH THE LAYER THAT FORMS ABOVE THE SEWAGE WATER DUE TO FATS OR OILS ( LAYER IS CALLED SCUM OR CRUST ), AND AT THE BOTTOM
MAINLY ORGANIC SOLIDS SINKS ( SINKING MATERIALS ACT AS A SLUDGE ) . THE WATER BETWEEN THESE TWO LAYERS IS THEN SENT FOR THE
NEXT STEP (.SECONDARY TREATMENT ).

SECONDARY TREATMENT
IN SECONDARY WATER TREATMENT AEROBIC BACTERIA IS INTRODUCED TO DECOMPOSE THE ORGANIC SUBSTANCES THAT ARE NOT
SEPARATED IN THE PRIMARY TREATMENT , THIS IS CALLED AERATION .AFTER THAT CLARIFYING CHAMBER SEPARATES THE DECOMPOSED
MATERIAL AND DEAD BACTERIA NAD WATER. DECOMPOSED MATERIAL AND DEAD BACTERIA THEN ACT AS A SLUDGE . THE QUALITY OF
EFFLUENT IS MAINTAINED HERE .

TERTIARY TREATMENT
BEFORE WATER IS RELEASED INTO THE WATER STREAMS , RIVERS OR SEAS , MICRO-ORGANISMS AND OTHER SUBSTANCESARE SEPARATED
THROUGH FILTRATION CHAMBER . SAME WATER FURTHER GOES INTO A DISTILLATION CHAMBER IN WHICH CHOLRINATION , INTERACTION OF
UV RADIATION AND OZONE TAKES PLACE
