CLASSIFICATION OF WASTEWATER
CHARACTERISTICS
The CHARACTERISTICS OF SEWAGE can
be CLASSIFIED UNDER FOLLOWING three
heads:
1.Physical Characteristics
2.Chemical Characteristics
3.Biological Characteristics

CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
WASTEWATER
The Chemical Characteristics of sewage helps in
indicating the stage of sewage decomposition, its
strength, and extent and type of treatment
required for making it safe the chemical
characteristics of sewage includes.
A.SOLIDS
Solids normally contain 99.9 % water and only 0.1
% of total solids present in the sewage
CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
WASTEWATER
SUSPENDED SOLIDS are
those solids which remain
floating in sewage.
DISSOLVED
SOLIDS
are
those which remain dissolved
in sewage just as a salt in
water.
COLLOIDAL
SOLIDS
are
finely
divided
solids
remaining either in solution
or in suspension.
SETTLEABLE SOLIDS are
that solids which settles out,
CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF

B. pH
The pH value of sewage
indicates
the
logarithm
of
reciprocal
of
hydrogen
ion
concentration present in the
sewage.
Determination of pH is
important because efficiency
of
certain
treatment
methods depends on it.
Especially
the
biological
treatment, for better result the
pH of sewage should be around

D. CHLORIDES CONTENTS
High chloride content of a given
sewage
indicates
the
presence
of
industrial
wastes
or
infiltration
of
seawater.
E. FATS, OIL, AND GREASES
Fats, oils and greases are derived in
sewage from the discharge of animals and
vegetable matter, or from the garages,
kitchens of hotels and restaurants, etc..
Such matter form scum on the top of
the sedimentation tanks, clogs the voids
of the filter media and affects the diffusion
of oxygen. They thus interfere with the
normal treatment methods.

H. BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD)
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is defined as
the
amount
of
oxygen
required
by
the
microorganisms (mostly bacteria) to carry out
decomposition of biodegradable organic matter under
aerobic conditions.
The BOD test is widely used to determine the
pollution strength of domestic and industrial
wastes in terms of the oxygen that they will
require if discharged into natural watercourses.
The BOD value of 5 Day incubation period is
commonly written as BOD5 or
BOD Test
CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
WASTEWATER
I. CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD)
COD can be defined as amount of oxygen required to
chemically oxidize organic matter using a strong
oxidizing agent like potassium dichromate under acidic
condition.
It is widely used as a means of measuring the
amount of organic matter in the waste.
BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF WASTEWATER
The sewage contains many microorganisms like bacteria,
algae, fungi, protozoa, etc. bacteria being the most
predominant. Most of the bacteria found in the sewage are
harmless non-pathogenic bacteria. They are helpful in
oxidation and decomposition of sewage. A little no of
bacteria, however, are disease producing pathogens, which are
the real danger to the health of the public.
A.POPULATION EQUIVALENT
Indicates the strength of the industrial wastewaters for
estimating the treatment required at the municipal
sewage treatment plant, and helps in assessing realistic
charges for this treatment to be charged from the industries
instead of charging them simply by volume of sewage.
