LOT-I: WWTP-01 SYSTEM LAYOUT
DESIGN DATA
The wastewater, to be collected and
treated treatment plant, is mainly domestic waste water.
Industrial wastewaters will not be discharged and treated on this
system.
It is intended that the WWTP is going to treat wastewater
for 68,090 people equivalent after 20 years at 2035.
The max. daily water consumption in the area is about 170l/PE-day.
The 80% of the water consumption drops in the sewage system so
the maximum daily wastewater production per capita is 136l/PE-day.
Thus, design flow of the plant is 9,260m3/day or 107l/sec.
EFFLUENT LIMITS
Treated effluent is expected to be used for irrigation and or when irrigation
isn’t required, to be discharged into the river
Thus, the treated effluent levels have been set in conjunction of various factors:
protection of human health;
The term BOD
is normally measured as the oxygen demand of a settled sample over fiv
e days, (i.e. BOD5)
PROCESS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The activated sludge process (or suspended growth system) was
developed in England in 1914 and was so named b/c it involves
production of an activated mass of micro-organisms capable of
aerobically stabilizing the organic matter of the waste water.
The suspended growth systems are classified into three broad
categories based on the organic and hydraulic loading rates and
retention times namely;
high rate Activated Sludge Process ( Solids retention period less than 2 hrs)
conventional Activated Sludge Process
( Solids retention period from 4 to 8 hrs)
Extended aeration process
( Solids retention period exceeding about 24 hrs)
CONT…D
lowest sludge production of any activated sludge system
high quality wastewater achievable
favourable reliability with sufficient operator attention
relatively minimal land require
nitrification can occur; and
Sustaining shock loadings.
CONT…D
Disadvantages
high power consumption
high operation and maintenance requirements
skilled operators are necessary
The proposed system of activated sludge includes the following phases:
Inlet / Lift Pumping Station
Compact Pretreatment Unit
Pre Anoxic Tank for the sludge recirculation
Denitrification / Anoxic tanks (two lines)

collected at the first phase of the plant called Lifting Pump Station (LPS).
The LPS is designed for a retention time of about 10 minutes (phf).
LPS cont’….d
Each pump will be protected with moisture wet sensor and thermal protection
of coil of the motor according to Manufacturer standards.

system according to the waste water level.
A safety floater switch will be installed in order to protect the mixer from dry
operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
PRE‐ANOXIC TANK
The wastewater after the PTU enters to pre-anoxic tank by gravity with a small qty.
of nitrogen as NO3 (7mg/l).
The recirculated sludge which comes from the bottom of final clarification also
enters to pre-anoxic tank for denitrification of nitrates.
In this tank the nitrates of the biological sludge will be reduced to 1mg/l.
ANAEROBIC TANK (BIOLOGICAL PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL UNIT)
The wastewater after the pre anoxic tank will enter through two overflows to anaerobic
tank.

In this stage, the phosphorous is removed by biological means as under favourable
anaerobic conditions the microorganisms in the activated sludge mixed liquor are able to
remove an excess amount of Phosphorus over that required for growth (“Luxury uptake”).
Phosphorous is carried away from the system through the removal of excess sludge.
Six concrete tanks will be constructed and they are to be equipped with submerged
mixers (1.7kW) to ensure mixing of sludge and to avoid settling.

nitrifying the Nitrate (NO3) molecules by stripping the Oxygen atoms to generate Nitro
gen (N) gas.
De‐nitrification requires a retention time in Anoxic conditions of over 30 minutes in
the presence of a high concentration of Carbon.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
SLUDGE TREATMENT
All wastewater treatment plants produce sludge as a by‐product.
Disposal must be considered as an important part of the wastewater treatment
process.
Sewage sludge is highly polluting in its raw state and can
rarely be disposed of without some form of additional treatment to enable
environmentally acceptable disposal.
volume of sludge requiring disposal is very often quite large and is generally considered
economically viable to treat the sludge before final disposal.
The sludge, which is produced by the whole plant, needs further treatment before
dewatering.
The treatments of sludge can be classified into two main forms, stabilization,
conditioning and dewatering.
Stabilization is the process by which the organic load of the primary sludge is degreased.
Conditioning is the process by which sludge is prepared prior to entering the final
treatment stage of drying or dewatering.
The conditioning of the sludge is the mixing (primary and secondary) and thickening by
gravity.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
The aeration system shall be based on bottom aeration, with compressed air
introduced into the tank by stainless steel tubular diffusers placed at the
bottom of the tanks.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
GRAVITY THICKENING
The sludge is collected from the sludge tank.
From this tank (2 + 2) submersible pumps 30m3/h at 12m are feeding the
two gravity sludge thickener.
The sludge will enter the pumping station at concentration of 0,8% Dry
Solids (8000mg/l SS) and after the thickener it will be about 3%
(30000mg/l SS).
A substantial reduction in sludge volume can normally be achieved by
consolidation in holding tanks.
The sludge is allowed to settle under stable conditions, while supernatant
fluids are drawn off and recycled to the inlet of the treatment process.
This method is not considered viable for the activated sludge treatment
process.
The gravity thickener shall be equipped with bottom suction scrapers to
operate automatically.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
GRAVITY THICKENING
The supernatant shall overflow through double V‐
notched overflow weirs that will be mounted in
each sludge thickener tank to create tranquilly
hydraulic conditions, for the sludge to settle
unhindered.
The gravity sludge thickener shall be circular and
the tanks’ bottom will be straight.
The sludge removal shall be via dry progressive
cavity pumps and they will feed the sludge
dewatering system.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
DEWATERING SYSTEM
Dewatering is an additional process to digestion by which the
conditioned sludge can be further treated by the removal of excess
water by mechanical processing.
As the name implies, it relies of the use of a belt press to separate the
water from the conditioned sludge, which is far more efficient in terms
of both land use and time, although will require the addition of an
additional energy input.
The use of belt press is generally efficient, increasing the dried solids
content of approximately 20% dry solids.
This system also needs the addition of a polyelectrolyte, on line before
the belt press.
The reject water outlets from the dewatering equipment shall be in
close connection with the floor drains in order to avoid any splashing.
The reject water shall be led back to the Inlet via the Internal Sewage
Pumping Station for Site Drainage.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
DEWATERING SYSTEM
The system shall be mounted with the necessary
numbers of valves for isolating pumps and plants as
well as sample cocks for inlet sludge, dewatered
sludge and reject water.
For rinsing the dewatering unit and dilution of the
polymer, treated wastewater shall be used from the
Technological Water Pumping Station.
Final sludge disposal is envisaged as for use in
agriculture i.e. land farming where applicable and
where the sludge is of suitable composition, subject to
the approval of the relevant authorities, or land filling
to a suitable landfill.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
DRAINAGES RECIRCULATION
The drainage water from the sludge thickener and the
dewatering system is collected by gravity to the
drainages pit. From there by gravity, they go back to the
pre – anoxic tank.
