Abstract- India faces a number of water and wastewater issues and water related health hazards. Almost 80% of the
water supplied for domestic use, comes back as wastewater. In most of the cases untreated wastewater is let out which
either sinks into theground as a potential pollutant of ground water or is discharged into the natural drainagesystem
causing pollution in downstream areas.Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) have been constructed in most places to reduce
the degradation of water quality of the receiving water bodies by reducing the total pollution load on the same and to
ensure a healthy environment both aesthetically along with preserving the ecosystem involved. Poorly treated wastewater
with high levels of pollutants caused by poor design, operation or maintenance of treatment systems creates major
environmental problems, when suchwaste water is discharged to surface water or on land. The present study has been
undertaken to evaluate performance efficiency of a waste water treatment plant-A sewage treatment plant is considered
for case study. Waste water samples were collected at different stages of treatment units and analysed for the major water
quality parameters, such as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended
Solids (TSS), Total Settleable Solids, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Nutrients (N&P) and Oil grease. The performance
efficiency of each unit in treating the pollutants was evaluated. Overall performance of the plant also has been estimated.
The obtained results were very much useful in identification and rectification of operational and maintenance problems
as well as the future expansion to be carried out in the plant to meet the increased hydraulic and organic loadings.
Keywords – STP, Waste Water, BOD, COD, TSS, TDS.
I. INTRODUCTION
The term wastewater typically encompasses liquids and waterborne solids from residential, agricultural or
commercial purposes as well as other waters that have been used in the activities of man, whose quality has been
compromised, and which are discharged into a sewer system. Since several years the word "sewage" has been used
and usually refers to waters which contain only sanitary waste. Technically, "sewage" means any drainage that goes
into a drain. Domestic wastewater is a stream that appears turbid or opaque and contains solids in suspension. It is
grey in colour when young, and has a musty, though not bad, scent. Domestic wastewater can contain all sorts of
liquid materials available in different quantities, such as fecal solids, bit of fruit, gasoline, trash, pulp, rags, wood,
plastics and other materials disposed of in a community's everyday life. In such conditions, the colour of the liquid
can slowly change from gray to black, due to biochemical changes caused by bacteria. If this occurs, foul and
unpleasant odors form and on the surface or in the liquid black solids surface. A drainage that has undergone a

transition like this is considered septic. Wastewaters consist of liquids in which solids remain as settable particles,
scattered as colloids, which are materials that are not readily settled, or solids in dissolved form. The wastewater
mixture would contain vast amounts of microscopic species, mainly bacteria capable of eating the mixture's organic
portion (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) and bringing about dramatic improvements in wastewater.
Since all wastewater sources and inputs are highly variable and an important microbial aspect is also present, the
composition of all wastewaters is continuously changing. A wastewater is also called raw wastewater, or raw
sewage, before reaching a wastewater treatment system. Wastewater treatment and proper disposal is required. This
would promote environmental conservation and restoration of the environment, as the wastewater obtained by cities
and towns will eventually be recycled to obtain water or land. If the minimum effluent content is defined for
acceptable allowable concentrations of solids (both suspended and dissolved), organic matter, nutrients, and
pathogens, the aim of the procedure is to meet the set requirements consistently. The design engineer's task is to
create a plan that will ensure the technological viability of the treatment procedure, taking into account certain
considerations such as cost of construction and repair, supply of building materials and machinery, as well as skilled
labour. Primary treatment alone won't yield an effluent with an appropriate concentration of residual organic
content. The treatment schemes use almost exclusively biological approaches to effect secondary treatment for the
elimination of organic waste. The biological substance is metabolized by bacteria in biologic treatment facilities.
Also, tertiary treatment methods and/or pathogen elimination can be used, depending on the criteria for the final
effluent consistency. Most wastewater treatment facilities currently use aerobic digestion for the elimination of
organic matter. The popularly used aerobic processes are the activated sludge process, oxidation ditch, trickling
filter, and aerated lagoons. Both aerobic and anaerobic processes are used by the stabilisation ponds. During recent
years, due to higher electricity rates and resulting rises during aerobic plant operational costs, increased focus has
paid to the use of anaerobic treatment systems for wastewater treatment and sewage treatment.
The degree of treatment needed can be calculated, in accordance with the legislation, by contrasting the important
characteristics of wastewater with the needed effluent properties. Number of different treatment alternatives for
achieving the quality of treated wastewater can be created.
The individual treatment methods are usually classified as:
a. Physical unit operations
b. Chemical unit processes
c. Biological unit processes.
First and foremost aim is to clean away solid surfaces of the water we use in our houses. This screening and
settling cycle is known as primary therapy. While this eliminates the larger pollution products, the wastewater is also
made of organic material, which doesn't smell fantastic and can contaminate them and absorb the available oxygen
because it decomposes if poured directly into our water sources. That is why nearly all treatment plants use an
aeration method to facilitate the growth of beneficial microorganisms in a cycle called secondary treatment that
break down the biological material in the waste. The goal of primary, secondary and tertiary effluent treatment in the
wastewater treatment process is to eliminate or remove organic matter, solids, contaminants, disease-causing
organisms and other toxins from the treated wastewater until it is released into a body of water. Many additives are
often applied during the manufacturing cycle in addition to disinfectants to help stabilize or strip off contaminants
like phosphorus or nitrogen. Several examples of fertilizer reduction methods include the addition of coagulant for
phosphorus reduction and ammonia removal air stripping. To protect the environment and the public health, we need
to eliminate the toxins from wastewater. When our culture consumes water the water is polluting with contaminants.
If left untreated, these pollutants would negatively affect our water environment. Organic matter can, for example,
induce loss of oxygen in lakes, rivers, and streams. This biological decomposition of organics could result in fish
kills and/or foul odors. Waterborne diseases are also eliminated through proper wastewater treatment. Additionally,
there are many pollutants that could exhibit toxic effects on aquatic life and the public. Treatment is required for
suspended solids and for dissolved organics. Physical processes are used to remove suspended solids, screens
remove debris and large solids and gravity or aerated grit chambers capture sandy matter. Gravity sedimentation
normally is used to remove finer (organic), suspended solids. For special applications, centrifugation, dissolved air
flotation, and filtration are used to remove suspended solids. In fact, dissolved organics are treated using biological
processes. The more popular structures are aerobic and involve aerobic or optional ponds, drain trickling, and
processes of activated sludge. Concentrated waste is considered for anaerobic treatment systems, such as primary
sludge or high pressure industrial wastewaters.
Waste water contains nutrients that may promote aquatic plant growth, and may contain poisonous
compounds or compounds that may be mutagenic or carcinogenic. A network of tanks, generators, and pump
stations store and transport wastewater to the treatment plant. The amount of time it takes for the waste to enter a
treatment facility is very critical and can impact performance of treatment plants. The collection system should

sustain a velocity of at least two feet per second (2 fps) to avoid any settling of solids that appear to clog pipes and
cause odors. The sewage or drainage system is designed to flow to a single place for the treatment. The collection
system consists of smaller sewers, about four inches in diameter. The pipes get bigger in diameter as more
households and businesses are connected to the network. Pumping stations are also used where gravity systems are
not feasible to raise the wastewater. The wastewater begins to flow into the collecting system and finally enters the
treatment facility for waste water. The flow first receives provisional care after it enters the factory. Preliminary
treatment is followed by primary treatment, then secondary treatment, and perhaps advanced or tertiary treatment.
The solids or “sludge” removed from the wastewater stream also needs to be treated.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW

wastewater function. Efficient disposal of these constituents will protect the downstream plant and machinery from any potential injury, excessive wear and tear, pipe blockages and the buildup of undesirable material that will interfere with the appropriate wastewater treatment processes. Most of the organic waste is screened off through screen.

Wastewater contains soap, detergents and other surfactants which, when the waste water is aerated, create foam. The
operation of foaming creates a froth that includes solids of sludge, grease and a significant amount of bacteria from
waste water. A filamentous bacterium acts as hydrophilic cells, and plays a vital function in stabilizing foam. The
shaped foam is typically sticky, viscous and brown in colour and can be managed by directly spraying a chlorine
solution into the foam sheet. Joint pipes of a 250 mm diameter HDPE (high density polyethylene) pipe are used as the
contact between aeration tank and clarifier.
Clarifier:
Clarifier operates on the settling theory of gravity. With the support of scraper blades, heavier suspended solids settle
in the clarifier and these settled solids are swept to the middle well supplied for sludge processing. Clarifier removes
from the degreeted liquid the larger dissolved solids and the floating material. Aeration tank outlet is connected to
clarifier. Clarifiers can efficiently extract 50 to 60 percent of the dissolved solids from wastewater and 25 to 40
percent of the BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand). Denser particles settle down to the bottom and fluid flow back
into the clarifier region.

Sludge deposited is then routed to the sludge chamber and then discharged onto the sludge drying beds.
Stabilization Tank:
Fig.5. Storage Tank
Dimensions: 5m in dia X 3.0m depth. The treated water from clarifier is allowed to the stabilization tank leaving the sludge in clarifier. Then water is pumped to storage tank.
Pressure Sand Filter:
Sand filtration is also used, and solids are removed from water using a very robust process. The filtration medium consists of a several sand sheet with a variation of size and gravity parameters. Sand filters can be provided whether hand operated or entirely mechanically in various size sand materials.
Activated Carbon Filter:
Activated carbon filters are typically used to absorb organic compounds and/or collect free chlorine from water, thereby making the water safe for discharge or use in manufacturing processes. The reduction of organics in potable water, such as humic and fulvic acid, avoids the chemical reaction of chlorine in water with the acids and the production of trihalomethanes, a class of known carcinogens.
Sludge Drying Bed:
The drying bed for the sludge is the partitioned region of sand. Sludge is spread layer-shaped on the drying beds. Based on the atmospheric conditions, sludge is dewatered by the evaporation of surplus water over a span of several weeks. For forestry, dried sludge is re-used as soil conditioner.
Storage Tank:
The treated water from the plant is stored in the storage tank before finally distributed to the consumers.
The treated water from the storage tank is distributed for gardening in the nearby garden. Total storage capacity in
the collection tank = 0.5 MLD

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Wastewater treatment and safe disposal is required. This will promote environmental protection and restoration of
the environment, because the wastewater gathered from cities and towns will eventually be recycled to obtain water
or land. If the minimum effluent content is defined for acceptable allowable concentrations of solids (both
suspended and dissolved), organic matter, nutrients, and pathogens, the aim of the procedure is to meet the set
requirements consistently.
In the present study, samples were collected and laboratory tests were carried out from inlet and outlet of each unit
of a sewage treatment plant A which is situated at Annarao Cottage Area, near Srivarimettu footpath in Tirumala.
The results are as follows:
PH:
The concentration of hydrogen ions defined as pH, is a important parameter in biological unit activity. The
fresh sewage's pH is marginally higher than the community's supplied water. Decomposition of organic matter,
however, can lower the pH while the presence of chemical wastewater can cause significant fluctuations. The pH of
the raw water usually is between 5.5 and 8.0

4 Clarifier outlet 6.8
5 Stabilisation tank 7.10
6 Treated water tank 7.22
The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage. The
permissible limit of pH is 8.5. Treated effluent is within the limits and hence it can be disposed onto agricultural
lands.

TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS:
The overall volume of solids contains the solids which are suspended and dissolved. This can be detected
by evaporating the water sample and measuring the remaining residual residue. The suspended solids hold much of
the organic matter, and this further increases the degree of water contamination.

The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage.
The permissible limit of TSS ranges from100 to 150mg/l. Treated effluent is within the limits and hence it can be
disposed onto agricultural lands.
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS:

The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage. The
permissible limit of TDS ranges from 500 to 2000mg/l. Treated effluent is within the limits and hence it can be
disposed onto agricultural lands.
CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD):
The COD provides calculation of the oxygen required for chemical oxidation. It does not differentiate between
oxidizable biological material and non oxidizable material. However, the COD-to-BOD ratio does not substantially
shift for specific waste and so this measure may be used easily to define treatment unit output efficiencies.

The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage.
In general, the COD of raw sewage at various places is reported to be in the range of 200 to 700 mg/L. Treated
effluent is within the limits and hence it can be disposed onto agricultural lands
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD):
The sewage BOD is the amount of oxygen needed under aerobic conditions for the biochemical
decomposition of biodegradable organic matter. The oxygen absorbed during the cycle is related to the amount of
organic matter which is decomposable.

The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage.
The permissible limit of BOD is 50mg/l. Treated effluent is within the limits and hence it can be disposed onto
agricultural lands.
NITRATES:
Nitrates presence indicates fully oxidized and the most stable form of nitrogenous organic matter in
sewage there by indicating the well oxidized and treated sewage increase in proportion of nitrates during the process
of sewage treatment serves as guide for measuring the progress achieved in sewage treatment.

5 Stabilization tank 57.2 0.98
6 Collection tank 69.5 0.70
The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage. The permissible limit of nitrates should be nil. Therefore tertiary treatment is necessary before using it for agriculture purpose.

PHOSPHATES:
Phosphate joins the domestic water from animal waste, discharged from kitchen grinders and concentrated inorganic
phosphate compounds used in various household detergents, from human body waste.

6. Collection tank 97.2 0.1
The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage.
The permissible limits of phosphates 4 to 12mg/l. Treated effluent is safe to dispose off onto lands and for
agriculture purpose.

The values shown from the table above are in declining order from the inlet of the screens to the mixed volume. The
permissible TDS limit is 500 to 2000mg / l. Treated effluent remains beyond the boundaries and should thus be
disposed of on farm land.
OIL AND GREASE:
Bacteria also do not readily break down fatty organic materials from vegetables and petroleum, which can cause
contamination in receiving ecosystems. When vast amounts of oils and greases are discharged from municipal
structures to collect waters, they raise BOD, so they can rise to the surface so harden, creating undesirable
conditions for esthetics. They can also catch garbage, plants and other products, creating foul odors, attracting
mosquitoes and flies and other vectors of disease. Too much oil and graase in some situations triggers septic
conditions in wetlands and lakes by stopping oxygen from entering the surface from the atmosphere.

The values observed from the above table are in decreasing order from screens inlet to the mixed storage. The
permissible limit of oil and grease ranges from 8 to 10mg/l. Treated effluent is within the limits and hence it can be
disposed onto agricultural lands.
