Pollutants in sewage
•BOD(Bio Chemical Oxygen demand)
•COD(Chemical Oxygen demand)
•COD(Chemical Oxygen demand)
•TSS(Total Suspended Solids)
•PH
BOD(Biochemical Oxygen demand)
The BOD is an important measure of water quality .It is measure of the amount of
oxygen needed by bacteria and other organisms to oxidize the organic matter
present in a water sample over a period of 5 days at 20 degree C.
COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand)
COD Measures all organic carbon with the exception of some aeromatics
(BENZENE,TOLUENE,PHENOL etc.) which are not completely oxidized in the
reaction.
 COD is a chemical oxidation reaction
Ammonia will not be oxidized.
Total Suspended Solids
Total suspended solids(TSS) include all particles suspended in water which will
pass through a filter.
As levels of TSS increase, a water body begins to lose its ability to support a
diversity of aquatic life.
Suspended solids absorb heat from sunlight, which increases water
temperature and subsequently decreases levels of dissolved oxygen(warmer
water holds less oxygen than cooler water)

Activated Sludge Process (ASP) Technology
• An activated sludge plant essentially consists of the following:
1) Aeration tank containing micro organisms in suspension in which
reaction takes place.
2) Activated sludge recirculation system.
3) Excess sludge wasting and disposal facilities.
4) Aeration systems to transfer oxygen
4) Aeration systems to transfer oxygen
5) Secondary sedimentation tank to separate and thicken activated sludge.
ASP
• Advantages
– Can sustain seasonal variation
– Less land requirement than UASB
• Disadvantages
– High energy consumption
– Foaming, particularly in winter season, may adversely
– Foaming, particularly in winter season, may adversely
affect the oxygen transfer, and hence performance
– Requires elaborate sludge digestion /drying/disposal
arrangement
– More land requirement than SBR  MBBR
– Nitrogen and Phosphorous removal requires additional
anoxic tank and  3 times internal recirculation
ASP
ASP
Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor
(UASB)
• The Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor (UASB) maintains a
high concentration of biomass through formation of highly settleable
microbial aggregates. The sewage flows upwards through a layer of
sludge.
• The sludge in the UASB is tested for pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA),
alkalinity, COD and SS. If the pH reduces while VFA increases, the
sewage should not be allowed into the UASB until the pH and VFA
sewage should not be allowed into the UASB until the pH and VFA
stabilise.
• The reactor may need to be emptied completely once in five years,
while any floating material (scum) accumulated inside the gas
collector channels may have to be removed every two years to
ensure free flow of gas.
• All V-notches must be cleaned in order to maintain the uniform
withdrawal of UASB effluent coming out of each V-notch. The
irregular flow from each V-notch results in the escape of more solids
washout. Similarly, blocking of the V-notches of the effluent gutters
will lead to uneven distribution of sewage in the reactor.

Advantages
• Requires less power than aerobic processes
• Biogas generated can be used as fuel or
electricity.
Disadvantages
Disadvantages
• UASB alone does not treat the sewage to
desirable limits, therefore downstream aerobic
treatment is compulsory
• Requires very large space due to post treatment
• Recovery of biogas is not sufficient to produce
substantial electricity in case of municipal
sewage.

MOVING BED BIO REACTOR (MBBR) PROCESS
• Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) process is based on the bio-film of
organisims developed on carrier elements.
• This media is floating in the Aeration tank and kept floating by air
from diffusers which are placed at the bottom of tank.
• The process is intended to enhance the activated sludge process by
• The process is intended to enhance the activated sludge process by
providing greater biomass in aeration tank and thus by reducing
volume of the tank
• After aeration tank sedimentation tank is provided for settlement of
sloughed biomass
• Clear water clarifier overflows from weir and is further subjected to
disinfection.

treatment to remove BOD, COD, Suspended Solids, Biological
Nitrogen and Phosphorous.

Activated Sludge Process (ASP) Technology • An activated sludge plant essentially consists of the following: 1) Aeration tank containing micro organisms in suspension in which reaction takes place. 2) Activated sludge recirculation system. 3) Excess sludge wasting and disposal facilities. 4) Aeration systems to transfer oxygen 4) Aeration systems to transfer oxygen 5) Secondary sedimentation tank to separate and thicken activated sludge.
  • 30. ASP • Advantages – Can sustain seasonal variation – Less land requirement than UASB • Disadvantages – High energy consumption – Foaming, particularly in winter season, may adversely – Foaming, particularly in winter season, may adversely affect the oxygen transfer, and hence performance – Requires elaborate sludge digestion /drying/disposal arrangement – More land requirement than SBR MBBR – Nitrogen and Phosphorous removal requires additional anoxic tank and 3 times internal recirculation
  • 32. Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASB) • The Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor (UASB) maintains a high concentration of biomass through formation of highly settleable microbial aggregates. The sewage flows upwards through a layer of sludge. • The sludge in the UASB is tested for pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), alkalinity, COD and SS. If the pH reduces while VFA increases, the sewage should not be allowed into the UASB until the pH and VFA sewage should not be allowed into the UASB until the pH and VFA stabilise. • The reactor may need to be emptied completely once in five years, while any floating material (scum) accumulated inside the gas collector channels may have to be removed every two years to ensure free flow of gas. • All V-notches must be cleaned in order to maintain the uniform withdrawal of UASB effluent coming out of each V-notch. The irregular flow from each V-notch results in the escape of more solids washout. Similarly, blocking of the V-notches of the effluent gutters will lead to uneven distribution of sewage in the reactor.

  • 36. UASB Advantages • Requires less power than aerobic processes • Biogas generated can be used as fuel or electricity. Disadvantages Disadvantages • UASB alone does not treat the sewage to desirable limits, therefore downstream aerobic treatment is compulsory • Requires very large space due to post treatment • Recovery of biogas is not sufficient to produce substantial electricity in case of municipal sewage.

  • 38. MOVING BED BIO REACTOR (MBBR) PROCESS • Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) process is based on the bio-film of organisims developed on carrier elements. • This media is floating in the Aeration tank and kept floating by air from diffusers which are placed at the bottom of tank. • The process is intended to enhance the activated sludge process by • The process is intended to enhance the activated sludge process by providing greater biomass in aeration tank and thus by reducing volume of the tank • After aeration tank sedimentation tank is provided for settlement of sloughed biomass • Clear water clarifier overflows from weir and is further subjected to disinfection.
