Classification of Wastewater
Introduction to Wastewater
• Used water.
• Contains impurities or pollutants in the form of solids,
Domestic
liquids or gases or their combinations.
Wastewater
• Generated by human due to daily activities, commercial Wastewater
activities, industrial activities. Industrial
• Final discharge will normally onto the land. Receiver may Wastewater
be rivers, streams, rivers, seas, etc.
• Harmful and affects people health if disposed without
treatment.

Grit Chamber
• Settlement of pieces of rocks, metals, bones, egg shells,
Bar Rack etc
• 1st step • Prevents damage to machinery through abrasion and
• Eliminates non- clogging
biodegradable and floating • Intake 190 l/sec
objects from influent. • Not functioning properly
• Prevents clogging and
interferences in further
processes
• Presence of manual
barracks in case
mechanical bar fails

• Biological process
• Absorbs oxygen from
atmosphere
• High BOD = High
oxygen demand
• Mechanical type
• Consists electrically
driven vanes
(Mechanical diffusers are introduced in
upgraded treatment plant)
