Problems in Domestic WWTP Operations and Corrective Action
No Types of Problems Cause
1 In Tubs Wastewater equalization Wastewater pump in the
overflows pump tub is not running or or
the pump filter clogged
2 Flow of wastewater into the reactor Wastewate pump in the
is slow equalization tubs is not
smooth or the meter is
clogged with dirt
3 Air blowers in the aerobic tub works air duct pipe are leak
but does not blow out air
4 Air blowers in the aerobic tub not Electricity does not flow
work
5 Floating Occurs in the aerobic tub Less air
6 Quality of processed wastewater  Process of
does not meet environmental quality decomposing waste is
standards reduced because
microbial activity is
weakening
 Blowing air in the
aerobic unit is lacking.
 Discharge of
wastewater exceeds the
capacity of WWTP
7 Processed water that comes out still Less air supply,
smells wastewater discharge
exceeds the capacity of
WWTP, microbes is
reduced.
Corrective Action
Check pump electricity,
check automatic pump
float position,
clean the filter pump from
impurities
Check the wastewater
pump, checking the water
meter screen is clogged or
not. If the clog has to be
cleaned.
Remove the pipe and then
connect again with
paralon glue
Check the electrical
installation to blower
Check flow of air
distributors from blowers
 Setting wastewater
discharge on average
according to capacity
 Check Blower and air
discharge pipe. In the
event of a leak
immediately repaired.
Check blower is working
properly or not.
Addition of decomposer
bacteria.
