• According to CPCB report (2009 – 10) approximately53898 MLD sewage is generated in India including allthe Metropolitan, Class1 and Class 2 cities and only19826.7 MLD of this is treated (around 37%) beforebeing discharged into the water bodies.
• According to CPCB, the total wastewater discharged byall major industrial sources is 83,048 million litres perday (mld) - 2003

Why we do Wastewater Treatment?
• To meet the regulatory standards
• Conventional treatment removes BOD and SS butunable to remove nutrients and complex compound.
• Decreasing assimilative capacity of water bodies
• Water scarcity also pushed industry to opt foradvanced wastewater (Recycle and Reuse)

• Assume 2.5 ml of raw sewage diluted to 250ml
• Initial DO was 8 mg/lit
• Final DO was 5 mg/lit at three days at 20 C
• Estimate BOD in mg/lit in wastewater
• Dilution ratio = 250/2.5 = 100
• Loss of dissolved oxygen = 8 – 5 = 3 mg/lit
• BOD = loss of oxygen x dilution factor
• = 3 x 100 = 300 mg/lit

Activated Sludge Process ( ASP )
• Primary wastewater mixed with bacteria-rich (activated) sludge and air or oxygen ispumped into the mixture
• Promotes bacterial growth and decomposition of organic matter• Last step is a settling tank where sludge settles out and then the treated wastewater
moves on for tertiary treatment.• Some settled sludge is used to inoculate incoming primary effluent.

• Two type of water is used – Cold and hot condensewater (used as boiler feedback water, juice dilution,lime and sulphate preparation, dilution, molassesconditioning, etc.
• Recycling and reuse of hot condensate water canreduce the water consumption to as low as 100-200litres, as against 1,500-2,000 litres per tonne of canecrushed

Ferti-irrigation• Biomethanation – aerobic treatment -- effluent should
not exceed 500 mg/L -- diluted with freshwater prior toirrigation (100 mg/lit)
• Disadvantage:– Requires large land area and fresh water for dilution, pose risk of ground
water pollution– Requires proper monitoring and supervision– Past experience were not satisfactory
• For example, a plant of capacity 30 kld alcoholproduction will requires 270 ha of minimum land forirrigation. Many state pollution control boards areprohibiting this method

Effluent Quality Distinct Advantage
ASP 0.15 to 0.25 Rs 0.3 to 0.5 180 to 225 Rs 2 to 4 BOD: 10-20mg/L.Suspended solids
(SS):20-50 mg/L.The effluent
obtained iscolourless.
Land requirement is veryless and performance is notaffected by normalvariation in wastewatercharacteristic.
Trickling Filter(TF)
0.25 to 0.65 Slightlylower thanASP
180 Relativelylower thanASP
Comparable toASP
Rugged system with simpleand silent operation
