Sewage Treatment Plant A Case Study
By Sharat V Rao

It is common knowledge that our country depends on a good and favourable
monsoon to cater for our water requirement. We are still depending on the
vagary of nature for our water needs. The time has come to de-risk ourselves
and our economy from this uncertainty. This calls for simple innovative
solutions. We are basically an agrarian economy and ground water is our
biggest natural source to the extent that ground water supplies around 70% of
our water needs across agriculture, industry and domestic consumption.
Therefore prudent ground water management is the need of the hour.
Besides ground water management there are other ways by which we can
manage and conserve our water resource. One such major resource is
wastewater reuse and recycling. We are all aware that sanitation is bedrock of
public health and still a greater part of our country is without a sewerage
system and in many places it is left out in the open which is a huge health
hazard.
In the early days in urban areas Centralised Sewage Treatment plants were
constructed which treated the sewage and let it off into the sea or into another
form of wet land. Over the years technology of treating waste has
considerably improved. Nowadays decentralised STP’s are adopted and
these are being made mandatory in big developments. The waste is treated
and recycled for benecial non-potable use. Earlier there was a stigma in
using this water but active media and social campaigning has managed to
spread the awareness and now it is actively being put to use. STP’s are a little
capital intensive but if prudently managed and conserved the ROI is less than
5 years.
In any residential development unfortunately only 40% of the waste is
recycled to meet the ushing and landscaping needs and the rest nds its
way to the city drainage system. This is a colossal waste of resource. We
should nd a way to use this water for road washings and for industrial use.
Some of the developed countries are doing this. Agreed there will be a large
cost initially to set up the infrastructure but it is a denite way out to reduce the
water footprint. These days technology is available to convert wastewater for
potable use.
The focus of this issue of IPT is on wastewater treatment. I trust the readers will
nd this interesting. Stay safe and take good care of yourselves and the
environment.

STP, when properly designed ,installed and maintained
seldom poses any problem and is immensely benecial
for saving water. The plant that has been described
below is installed at Ghodbunder, Thane, on the
outskirts of Mumbai. The salient features of the

the solutions are also to be supported by all, if we want
to leave behind a greener future for our next generations.
Water & Wastewater management basic
principles:
• Avoid or reduce wastage of fresh water/natural
water (surface and ground water)
• Use fresh water mainly for human direct
consumption (drinking, cooking, bathing & laundry)
• Use recycled water for all other needs (toilet ush,
gardening, vehicle wash, oor wash etc)
• Segregate wastewater streams at source (grey water
& black water)
• Recycle segregated wastewater with minimum but
efcient & appropriate treatment.
• Monitor the quality of the recycled water and take
measures to prevent cross contamination/mixing
with fresh water.
• Harvest Rainwater which can be used for gardening
or washing
Wastage reduction:
Many devices & instruments are in the market to reduce
wastage of fresh water during routine consumption.
Use of press-knob taps instead of normal turn-handle
taps, level switches in storage tanks to prevent overow,
tap aerators in kitchen sinks and bath showers,
Centralized drinking water RO systems for large housing
complexes with reject water recovery in place of
individual RO units with approximately 50 % wastage of
water in the form of reject etc.
Reduction of water losses in leakages through
distribution networks is possible with latest
instrumentation and tracking tools. Preventing
contamination of fresh water is also a way of reducing
wastage. If a freshwater body like a lake becomes the
host for domestic sewage and debris, no more ora and
fauna are supported, rather it becomes breeding
ground for mosquitoes and eventually public health
menace. Many lakes in urban zones become dump yards
and later disappear to give space for a future shopping
mall or other mega building complex!
Polluting natural waters and wastage of fresh water
must be deemed as social crime.
We all know that water is the critical most ingredient for
life. Civilizations developed along riverbanks, didn’t
they? Scientically we say water is the best solvent. Our
ancestors knew more that water dissolves our sins too!
Hence the holy dips in Ganga and other sacred rivers
across the country by millions even today.
Civilizations did not stop at riverbanks, we built towns
and cities and dug canals and ponds to divert river water
to where we live and store it too. Those were the days
when the natural water did not require much treatment
other than ltering and disinfection for drinking. We all
think water is god given and it must be free for our use,
right? Agreed, but we need to pay for bringing it to our
home by pumping, piping and treating before it is
delivered to our homes. We also think that water is free
to spoil. It is not so. We have no right to contaminate the
natural water by any means. Water contamination or
wastewater has multi-fold facets, broadly industrial,
agricultural, commercial and domestic and several
subcategories as well. Here we shall limit the focus to
domestic wastewater only, as it is not practical to cover
all aspects in this article.
It is understandable that the main issue with water and
wastewater in urban areas is simply population density.
Compared to individual houses spread out over
spacious lands in the by-gone era, we are now crowded
in towns and cities with vertical growth. Multi-storied
apartments have become both inevitable and thrust
upon us as well, due to the tremendous demand for
shelters in cities where citizens nd employment
relatively easily than in interior districts. Infrastructure
and facilities, that are available in cities, are scarce in rest
of the regions. Hence, this factor further drives people
to move to urban zones even if it is not necessary for
some of them. The steep rise in population density in
cities demands equal supply of water in proportion,
within the same footprint of land and the need to
manage the resulting wastewater in turn.
Here are some thoughts towards possible solutions,
which may not be difcult to conceive but need
determination to implement in our complex situation in
the country, with honesty and sense of responsibility.
Collectively we are all responsible for the current
situation with water & environment, i.e., the
authorities, corporate and the public all together. So,
/DECEMBER 2020 11
Almost all the above said proven technologies revolve
around the basic principle of use of wide spectrum of
bacteria for degradation of organics in the form of BOD
& COD present in the wastewater. The main difference is
only the separation of the treated water from the pool
of bacteria called biomass. For example, various types of
clarications systems are used in case of activated
sludge process, Membranes in case of Membrane Bio
reactor. In a nutshell the main function of degradation
of organics is done by bacteria.
Therefore, we need to select the treatment process
which suits the requirement and the following are some
of the Selection criteria for Biological (Aerobic)
wastewater treatment:
Ÿ Treatment efciency
Ÿ Process Stability
Ÿ Ease of operation and maintenance
Ÿ Space Requirement
Ÿ Cost effectiveness
Ÿ Operating Cost and many more.
Recycling of treated wastewater has gained impetus
when the costs of membrane technology started easing
over decades since their commercial market entry. RO
has been in the fore front of all membrane separation
technologies, and UF, MBR are now commonly sighted
in tertiary treatment systems. Chlorine as a disinfectant
is being replaced by Ozone and UV due to formation of
undesirable by-products with chlorination.
Actually, at this point of time we have ample number of
technologies available to treat wastewater to disposal
standards and also tertiary treatment technologies for
recycling.
Wastewater treatment - Pre and Post
COVID Scenario
a. Effect on Wastewater treatment plants:
The ongoing COVID has taught us more on self-
immunity boosting, sanitation and keeping ourselves
and the environment clean and sterile. With the entry of
COVID many started using Alcohol based sanitizers and
many organics-based chemicals / disinfectants for
cleaning and sanitization purposes. This invariably
increases the organics load to the wastewater
treatment and affects the performance of the system by
giving organics and chemical shock loading. The
increased use of detergents/ soaps and water for
sanitization has also affected the efcacy of the
wastewater treatment systems.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to go in for Green,
water-based Sanitization program to mitigate the
above ill effects.
Segregate and treat:
Several societies are already implementing grey
water(sullage) segregation in apartment complexes.
Wastewater from bathrooms, kitchen, wash basins and
washing machines etc (excluding the WC waste) is
referred to as grey water which contributes to
approximately half of total domestic wastewater on
average. As grey water contains fewer pathogens
compared to sewage, it is easier to handle, treat and re-
use on site for non-potable needs.
When grey water is separated, the remaining black
water from WC’s forms the sewage input to STP. This
reduces the hydraulic load of STP. There are concerns of
high BOD/COD levels in sewage after grey water
separation. Conventional biological treatment can
easily handle these loads.
Some apartment complexes have separate Flush Water
tanks with separate piping to toilet ush. But the grey
water may or may not be separated. If not separated, all
the wastewater ends up in STP. But the treated sewage is
fed to Flush water tanks and used for gardening.
For new developments, segregation of grey water drain
lines must become a norm. For individual houses also it
helps to segregate grey water drains and sewage lines.
Simple treatment like Ultraltration can be used to
reclaim good quality water for re-use.
Wastewater Treatment - Domestic:
Multiple proven technologies are in use for Domestic
wastewater treatment some of which are listed below.
Ÿ Activated Sludge Treatment – AST
Ÿ Extended Aeration
Ÿ Rotating Biological Contactor -RBC
Ÿ Fluidised Bed Reactor - FBR
Ÿ Moving Bed Bio Reactor – MBBR
Ÿ Sequencing Batch Reactor -SBR
Ÿ Membrane Bio Reactor – MBR
/DECEMBER 2020 12
Ÿ During the initial phase when the ow is less, various
operational process related issues viz, sludge
bulking, sludge carry over, increased choking of
lters and pipelines due to higher hydraulic
retention time – HRT are faced.
Ÿ Wear and tear of the standby equipment which are
meant for second phase expansion.
Ÿ Smell / Odor issues due to higher hydraulic retention
in the various treated water storage tanks.
Looking at the above practical issues associated with
centralized wastewater treatment facilities esp. during
Post Covid situation, it may be more viable and
appropriate to look at the Pre-engineered, Pre-Moulded
Advanced Decentralized wastewater treatment systems
which are available in required capacities in the market.
b. Central ized vs Advanced Decentral ized
Wastewater treatment plants
Wastewater management systems can be either
conventional centralized systems or Advanced
Decentralized systems (ADTS). Centralized systems are
usually planned, designed and operated to collect
(through long collection & high cost (both CAPEX &
OPEX) pumping systems and treat large volumes of
wastewater for the entire communities/ housing
complexes.
On the other hand, ADTS treat wastewater of cluster of
houses, apartment blocks/industrial parks or small
communities close to their origin. In case of
decentralized systems (ADTS), both solid and liquid
fractions of the wastewater are utilized near their point
of origin.

SAME AREA OVER THE WWTP. IN CASE IF THE SAME IS MADE TOTALLY UNDERGROUND MECHANICAL VENTILATION FACILITY TO BE
PROVIDED.
Earlier (Pre-Covid) even for bigger housing complexes
only centralized wastewater treatment facilities were
built at one common location preferably in the
basement for effective space utilization with
mechanical ventilation facility.
Common Issues faced by developers and Builders
with Centralized Wastewater treatment system:
Ÿ Huge investment cost on Civil and structural works
for building the centralized wastewater treatment
facility irrespective of the slow construction pace due
to less demand / phased expansion. Almost 70 - 80 %
of the total project cost on wastewater treatment
facility is required for civil and structural works. Only
the balance investment of 20 - 30 % on electro-
mechanical works which are generally done in
phased manner.
Ÿ Higher Operation and Maintenance cost
Ÿ Manpower demand due to non-availability of
Migrant workers
The following are some of the benets if we opt for
Advanced Decentralized wastewater treatment
systems:
Ÿ Right CAPEX investment in a phased manner
Ÿ Just in time investment
Ÿ Minimal Civil and Structural work
Ÿ Reduced wastewater collection network
Ÿ Mechanical ventilation system could be eliminated
Ÿ Effective space saving (Car parking facility / Green
cover over the plant area)
Ÿ Reduced wear and tear
Ÿ Reduced CAPEX
Ÿ Minimal manpower requirement
Ÿ Total elimination of smell/ odour issues as they are
totally covered
Ÿ Minimal / no pumping as the units are very closer to
the generation point (gravity ow)
Ÿ And many more.

TREATMENT PLANT
With this decentralized approach for wastewater
treatment and recycling, appropriate treatment can be
offered to obtain water as required for varied recycle
usages.
While offering the treatment we need to remember
some of the below important points:
1. Flushing water need to be free from all microbes esp.
Pathogens through proper Disinfection and green
sanitization program.
2. Recycled water usage for gardening and
landscaping need micronutrients viz., N and P.
Therefore, total removal of micronutrient in the
treatment plant is not mandatory.
3. Life cycle cost must be taken into consideration
Let us learn to manage the water for better and healthy
environment.

Sewerage solutions
for difcult situations When gravity sewers are unsuitable, vacuum sewerage technology
can provide the answers – and with multiple added benefits
By Peter Dunne
AN EXPERT VIEW
Vacuum sewerage network including vacuum station and wastewater tank
made up of fully watertight piping, will not allow any
ingress of water. By the same token, wastewater cannot
leak out into the ground, the vacuum pressure within
the pipework will prevent any such leakage. Vacuum
sewage networks, being tightly sealed, will never emit
unpleasant smells. Another advantage is that vacuum
sewerage technology can enable wastewater to be
transported, if necessary upwards. An example is a
requirement for sewerage piping to cross a river,
without pumping, this is difcult with a gravity sewer. A
vacuum sewer pipe can, however, easily be laid, either
under or over the river.
Traditional gravity sewers handle the transportation of
wastewater from buildings to the sewage treatment
works, yet occasionally certain conditions arise where,
for a variety of reasons, they are unable to provide the
best solution, whether from a technical or cost
perspective. This can, for instance, be the case when
ground water tables are high, congested housing
prohibits the installation of conventional gravity
systems, or where there is danger of ooding. Here,
leaks, as well as manholes, in gravity sewer networks
can lead to overlling and resulting problems. Vacuum
sewerage will eliminate this risk because the network,
/DECEMBER 2020 16
Vacuum sewer networks require special valves, which
are usually located in the below-ground vacuum
collection chambers, close to the buildings where the
wastewater is coming from. These are automatically
activated, as soon as a certain pre-dened quantity of
Vacuum chamber with valves
The strong vacuum force within the network ensures
that wastewater ows at high speed, this in turn leads
to a self-cleaning effect, so keeping the pipework free of
obstructions at all times and preventing the build-up of
fats etc. Vacuum sewers consist of pipes that are of
much smaller diameter than gravity sewers, pipe
diameters of between 110 mm or 160 mm are typical.
These are therefore not only much easier quicker and
cheaper to install; they can also be laid at much
shallower depths, with just 1.0 meters or 1.2 meters
depth being normal. The very signicant cost savings
that result is therefore self-evident.
wastewater has been collected in the chamber. The
vacuum within the system then sucks this wastewater
into the network, and transports it very quickly into a
holding tank, where it is collected; to be later pumped
to a sewage treatment plant, pump station or existing
sewer. A recent very signicant development, leading to
further improved automation efciency and security,
has been in the eld of “chamber management from a
distance”, This constantly remotely monitoring, as well
as remotely inuencing and controlling, system
operation, to always ensure the best operation. This
chamber management system, not only detects any
imperfect valve operations and immediately identies in
which vacuum chamber the valve in question is located;
it also reacts proactively and automatically, for instance
by completely deactivating and closing the valve, in
order to prevent a temporary excess of wastewater from
enter ing the vacuum system. The chamber
management system can also be programmed to
automatically open and close valves at certain pre-
dened and pre-programmed times, a very useful
measure in situations such as may exist whenever a
property is vacant for several weeks or months, and
there has therefore been no wastewater generated for a
longer period. The management system thereby
counteracts any danger that might otherwise possibly
exist of a reduced vacuum level at the valve in question
limiting its performance. Information about the status
and current operation of every single vacuum valve in a
network can be obtained by suitably authorised
personnel at all times, and in “real time”, as well as
remotely, simply by logging in to the process control
software of the management system, either with a PC
plus the internet, or using a mobile phone. By this
means a valve, or valves, can also be remotely controlled
by authorised personnel. With such a management
system safety and security of the network is guaranteed
and problems within the system can be detected,
analysed and resolved quickly and efciently by the
O&M Teams.

In 2016, Client approached us to design water supply
and Drainage work for said factory. Design theme by
Client was to . All new scientic Celebrate Engineering
technologies were to be part of design brief since
inception of the project.
Giving below a list of the client design brief
requirements.
Ø Minimal use of water (All CP faucets used should be
green)
Ø Minimal use of energy for pumping of water
Ø Siphonic roof drainage
Ø Rainwater harvested in 1.0 crore litre pond within
the site.
Ø Organic degradation of Faeces on Biological
principles plus reusing the reclaimed water.
Client or consultants were not aiming for any Rating
but scientific engineering standards to be
incorporated, go beyond statutory requirements
and be sustainable and environment friendly.
Water is needed in virtually every industrial and
manufacturing process. Regulatory restrictions on
wastewater discharge, combined with corporate
accountability pressures, are increasing the cost of
doing business, challenging industries in all sectors to
find ways to conserve, treat, and reuse the
wastewater.

Metagenomic Tools
It is about treating the organic molecules depending
upon their nature, various microbes that degrade them,
and providing suitable environment for them to
operate. Metagenomic tools is about keeping in view
the insitu conditions where each microbe behaved
under a particular stress condition not necessarily ideal.
Moreover, many of them are not cultivable. So, how
they behave in a lab condition is not known. The
meander type septic tank provides solid retention time
and quiescence under which microbial degradation and
pathogen elimination is happening.
Modern metagenomic tools to understand microbes
with a role in organic degradation:
FISH - Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization
PCR - Polymerase Chain Reaction
SIP - Stable Isotope Probe
MAR - Molecular Auto Radiography
CLPP - Community Level Physiological Probe
DGGE - Denaurating Gradient Gel Electrophoresis
CE - Capillary Electrophoresis
And many others.
The treatment system consists of Bio reactor (Meander
type septic tank) followed by a 50 sqmt of planted Bio
bed (HSSFW). The bed has wetland plants growing over
the gravel media and is designed as a horizontal sub-
surface ow (HSSF) wetland system. The bed is
rectangular in shape with gravel layer up to 0.8 m deep.
The inlet and outlet zones are lled up with larger
/DECEMBER 2020 22
gravels of 50-100 mm diameter. There is also a water regulation chamber before the nal collection tank.
The septic tank efuent (Solid free sewerage) overows to a HSSFCW by gravity. The water level in the HSSFCW is
maintained approx. 5 cm below the gravel surface, thus, preventing odour and mosquito breeding. Initially, the
wetland was planted with Vetiver perennial grass which is popularly known as khus in western and northern India.

Stormwater / Rain water Harvesting.
Urban development and most other human changes from natural conditions result in increased storm water runoff.
Storm water design is done in such a way that storm water runoff does not change after construction of factory and
site development. This was achived by creating pond and construction of recharge wells.
Typically, after development (75–100 percent impervious cover), there is a 45 percent increase in surface run-off, a 20
percent decrease in deep inltration, a 15 percent decrease in shallow inltration and a 10 percent decrease in
evapotranspiration compared to a natural pre development landscape. A surface run-off increase of as little as 10
percent can result in damage to local streams. But at SML we have tried to mimic natural surface runoff.
Storm water runoff is diverted in storm water drains through siphonic roof drainage system. Storm water drains are
discharging storm water into Artically created Pond/Lake. Overow from lake is going into percolation wells. In case of
torrential rain, when all above is lled then as a factor of safety; provision is also made to connect overow from pond
to GIDC drain with back ow prevention. Under normal circumstances there is zero discharge of water from the plant.

Current Scenario
The Public Toilets in India are dirty, disgusting, sloppy. The process is distinctly unhealthy, unsafe and strenuous,
especially for women due to prompt intimate physical contact with the facilities which is prone to spread diseases.
Due to scarcity of proper water, lighting, and unhygienic facilities women hesitate to use Public Toilets. Further as
these facilities are unmanned, poses security threat to women & children.

who are seeking an all-inclusive marketplace to source
the latest solutions essential for modern homes and
other infrastructural developments in India,” shared Mr

water through smart and IoT based technologies. These
water supply and management solutions will be further
enhanced by compact and aesthetically made designs
to reect the improved standard of living in the country.
Visiting the upcoming edition will be extremely
benecial for architects, real estate developers and
government associations.”

Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India along with Indian
Plumbing Association (IPA) announced the dates for
the upcoming edition of ISH India powered by IPA
bringing back face-to-face business interactions for
the building technology sector from 20 – 22 May 2021.
The building technology sector is witnessing a major
shift in the consumer behaviour with focus on
sanitation and water conservation taking centre stage
due to the pandemic and the impending threats of
climate change. Recent reports mentioned that globally,
the water and wastewater treatment market is expected
to grow at a CAGR of 6.7 per cent between 2020 to 2027
to reach USD 242.6 billion* whereas, upsurge in hygiene
awareness has changed the concept of bathrooms in
modern homes. Strong growth in affordable and mid-
income housing projects, and growing standard of
living are also major factors providing a boost to the
plumbing, bathroom ttings and xtures market in
India.
Keeping this growth trajectory in view, the upcoming
edition of ISH India powered by IPA that is scheduled
from 20 – 22 May 2021 will undoubtedly be a crucial
meeting point to conduct ‘face-to-face’ interactions,
evaluate and source solutions catering to the demands
of the new normal. The leading B2B exhibition
connecting buyers and suppliers from sectors like
plumbing, sanitation, kitchen and bathroom ttings,
and water management systems will be hosted at
Bombay Exhibition Center, Mumbai.
Providing the best solutions for building technologies
under one roof

lighting industry, LED Expo Mumbai will be scheduled
in parallel to ISH India powered by IPA. The show that
excels in smart and energy efcient lighting gears and
components along with premium displays for bathroom
and kitchen ttings by ISH India powered by IPA will
create a positive business environment to kindle
condence among various sectors of building
technologies.

Feedback
IPT 1. Geberit has a very comprehensive range related to water supply and drainage in
India. Do you plan to add new products to your existing range?
MA Currently no such plan
IPT 2. Are most plumbing contractors knowledgeable about correct plumbing installation
as per UIPC-I?
MA Quality of installation is often a challenge. Therefore, we ensure required Know-How while
training the contractors before a project starts.
IPT 3. What do you think that IPA should do, in the next 5 years, to promote good
plumbing practices on a large scale all over India as per UIPC-I?
MA Well, good question.
UIPC-I still contains many unpractical (for India) descriptions. Todays “modern Plumbing” is
much ahead and mostly driven by manufacturers. IPA should rethink the strategy and open
up for “modern Plumbing”.
e.g. UIPC-I still speaks about the fully ventilated drainage system. Not that it doesn’t work,
but todays technologies are far ahead. The mostly used “dual-stack system” (in India) is not
in UIPC-I. It’s actually a combination of a single stack and a parallel ventilated drainage
system.
Firstly, it is about a strong presence. Many consultants do not even know UIPC-I. They follow
the national building code etc.
It about a good combination of both.
IPT 4. Are most plumbing contractors and users aware about the differences in physical
and chemical properties between various kinds of plastic like ABS, PP, PEX, CPVC etc.?
MA No
IPT 5. Geberit has an enormous amount of experience on plumbing installations in Indian
conditions? Would you share some of your experience as case studies in our magazine
IPT?
MA Sure
IPT 6. Do you think that your sales and marketing staff need to be aware about the basic
principles of plumbing promoted in the UIPC-I?
MA yes

/DECEMBER 2020 52
IPT 7. Has Geberit done any ‘Tech Talk’s in India? If yes, how helpful were these events?
MA We did. Those events help to build awareness and may lead to business.
IPT 8. Which CSR activity in the field of plumbing has your organization found most
satisfying?
MA Build toilets for public schools
IPT 9. Can IPA, according to you, support and help manufacturers of plumbing materials
with activities that have not been done so far by IPA?
MA Yes, can collaborate in organising customised joint workshops, trainings and seminars
IPT 10. How do you see the future for plumbing industry post Covid?
MA Very positive and consolidation of big builders will spur the real estate growth which will
help faster adoption new and innovative plumbing technology solutions.
IPT 11. You have done quite a few webinars with IPA during the Lockdown period and post
that. How was your experience during these events?
MA It helped us stay connected with our target customers during the COVID.
IPT 12. This year IPPL was done on a virtual format and you were one of the sponsors.
Could you share your thoughts on this?
MA Virtual format was inevitable during COVID and helped.
