Abstract: Wastewater generated in school and colleges have to take care as it may pollute the ground water if
not treated properly. This paper focuses on the design of a STP unit in Bearys Institute of Technology (BIT),
Mangalore for the treatment of boy’s hostel wastewater of 160 students with 135 LPCD. Physical and chemical
characteristics of the wastewater samples showed a low strength in pollutant concentrations. Treatment units
were planned and designed based on the existing condition. Equalization tank was designed for flow balancing;
however, flash mixer was designed to mix coagulants. Suspended particles can be removed with clariflocculator
and generated floc can be sent to the sludge drying bed. Colloidal and finer particles can be removed in rapid
gravity filter and disinfection unit was designed for destroying the pathogens and ensuring safe disposal of
treated wastewater.

I. Introduction
Sewage disposal in natural waters is a common practice among many nations. Large inputs of organic
matter and nutrients from raw sewage to a weak hydrodynamic environment poses environmental and health
problems from deterioration of water quality [1,2]. Shivaranjani and Thomas (2017) have presented the
performance study for treatment of institutional wastewater by activated sludge process. The maximum BOD
removal efficiency obtained was 93.7% and turbidity removal efficiency was 87.6% in the 8 hrs HRT [3]. Dhote
et al. (2012) have undertaken a study of review on wastewater treatment technologies with chemical
coagulation, adsorption and activated sludge to remove pollutants from wastewater [4]. Roy et al. (2016) have
conducted studies on analysis and design of an institutional wastewater management scheme. They have pointed
the recycling and recovering of wastewater with Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) [5]. Lognathan et al. (2012)
have reported a batch mode SBR to treat domestic wastewater and the results showed that effective influent
parameters were removed within 6 hr cycle time where an aeration rate was 6 L/min [6].
II. Methodology
Fig. 1. Methodology adopted for the treatment of BIT boys hostel wastewater.
Methodology was developed based on the quantity and characteristics of wastewater generated in BIT
boys’ hostel. The treatment units were selected based on the functions and economy. Flow equalization tank was
considered for balancing the generated wastewater. However, Flash mixer, Clariflocculator, and rapid gravity
filters were taken into consideration for the removal of suspended and colloidal particles. Finally, disinfection
unit was installed for killing the pathogens. The sludge generated in clariflocculator was sent to sludge drying
bed.

Wastewater generated from BIT hostel was collected for 24 hrs. The concentration of the wastewater in
terms of BOD was measured. The variation of average BOD concentration (mg/l) and BOD loading (kg/hr) was
represented in Figure 2. However, a constant outflow was calculated as 0.816 m3/hr. The cumulative maximum
wastewater was calculated to design the maximum volume of equalization tank.

IV. Conclusion
The design of STP was considered for BIT hostel because a huge amount of wastewater was generating
every day and the septic tank was unable to take the load. The design of the STP was considered for 160
students with 135 LPCD. Wastewater characteristics showed a lower concentration of pollutants. Hence, the
designed was considered with equalization tank flowed by flash mixer, clariflocculator, rapid gravity filter with
disinfection unit. Equalization tank will help to balance the flow, however, clariflocculator will help to form floc
and removal of suspended particles. finer particles and colloidal particles will be removed in rapid gravity filter
followed by disinfection unit to kill all pathogenic bacteria. However, planning has been done for the future
expansion of the STP unit if requires. The designed STP is expected to handle 50 m3 of water in a day.
