Planning and Analysis of Sewage Treatment Plant (43 MLD) in Sagar (M.P.

Prerit Machiwar, Sammed Patil, March 2018

ABSTRACT:

Wastewater treatment or sewage treatment is a process used to remove contaminants from


wastewater or sewage and convert it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle with
minimum impact on the environment, or directly used. There has been an increasing awareness and
concern about water conservation all around the world during recent years. Hence, new approaches
towards achieving sustainable development of water resources have been developed
internationally. Under this research paper, network develops for sewer line in zonal pattern. The
whole network of the city was developed into three zones and sewage treatment plant of 43 MLD
was developed. SBR technology was adopted for treatment. The results were very encouraging. The
treatment system achieved 95.5% BOD, 90% COD, 75% Total Nitrogen, 95.67% TSS & 81.25%
Phosphorus removal respectively.

INTRODUCTION:

Wastewater treatment is an addition to the natural process of water purification. In Sagar city, the
common treatment technologies adopted for domestic and industrial sewage treatment were
sequential batch reactors. The company who developed the sewerage network divided the whole
city in three zones and planned three pumping stations to collect the sewage from the city. The
treatment at Sagar was designed to treat 43 MLD sewage. Sagar is one of the leading township in
Madhya Pradesh. The main components of sewerage were 254 kms of pipelines, 9260 nos. of
manholes, 10028 nos. of service chambers, 7780m length pumping main from pumping station to
STP and a 43 MLD sewage treatment plant. The sewerage was mainly comprised of following units:

1. Collection and conveyance of sewage to treatment plant


2. Treatment units
3. Effluent and disposal and utilization

METHODOLOGY:

Considering the contours the total residential area was demarked into three zones:

1. Zone 1: It was the biggest zone in planning consisting of 25 wards and proposed residential
areas of about 411.08 hectares. Estimate design population was 180858. Average sewage
flow@108 lpcd was 19.53 MLD. The sewer network consisted of RCC and HDPE pipes. The
total manholes in the zone were 4629.
2. Zone 2: This zone was designed to collect sewage of 19 wards. The population to covered in
this zone was 165961 whose average flow@108 lpcd was 17.92 MLD. Total manholes in this
zone were 2881.
3. Zone 3: It was the smallest zone of the town with 9 wards. The population to be connected
was 82167. The average flow of the zone@108 lpcd was 8.87 MLD. There were 1670
manholes in this zone.
As the sewage could not travel under gravitational forces therefore pumping stations were
required to lift the sewage. The locations of pumping stations were:

1. PS-1: This pumping station was constructed in zone 1 at a point just nearby railway
bridge existing adjacent to railway crossing near apsara talkies. This point was denoted
as PS-1. The estimate cost of PS-1 was 22.12 lacs.
2. PS-2: It was located near Sheetla Mata Mandir in zone 2. The estimate cost of this was
20.63 lacs.
3. PS-3: This pumping station was located along Pagara road where sewage of PS-1 and PS-
2 was collected and from this pumping station the sewage was pumped to STP at Village
Pathariya Hat. The estimated of PS-3 was 40.33 lacs.

CONCLUSION:
SBR technology is economical, efficient, safe and future ready than other sewage
technologies. The highest values of percentage removal for COD, total phosphate,
ammonia, nitrogen and ortho phosphate proved SBR to be better technology than
others. Its advantages are single tank configuration, easily expandable simple operation
and low capital costs.
