Biological ETP
A biological process to remove
organic substances, phosphorus and
nitrogen from waste water.
There are two types of biological ETP.
They are1.Conventional
(activated
sludge
method)
2.MBR (Membrane Bio-Reactor).

Activated Sludge Method

A process in which a mixture of
wastewater and microorganisms is
agitated and aerated leads to
oxidation of dissolved solids. After
oxidation the sludge produce from
waste water is induce microbial
growth.
Retention time of activated sludge
method is 20h for 40 m3/hr waste
water.

Membrane Bio-Reactor
Membrane bioreactors is a combine activated
sludge treatment with a membrane liquid-solid
separation process. The bioreactor and
membrane module each have a specific
function:
1.Biologcal degradation of organic pollution is
carried out in the bioreactor by adapted
microorganism.
2. Separation of microorganism from the
treated wastewater is performed by the
membrane module.

Screening Unit

Normally it is done in a drum.

OBJECTS:
1.To separate polyethylene bags.
2.To remove small parts of fabrics.
3.To remove grit materials.

Equalization Unit
In this unit hot liquid waste kept to cool.
Retention time:20-22hrs for 60m 3/hr.
Capacity: 5 lack 9lack
Depth :20ft
OXIDATION UNIT
After sludge separation the wastewater
is passed to oxidation unit for biological
treatments.
Here
oxidation
and
decolonization is done in the same tank.

Oxidation unit
Chemical used:
1.Bacteria
2.Urea
3.Phospheric acid.
Reaction:
COHNS O 2 nutrients bacteria
CO 2 H 2 O Other end Products

Sludge processing unit

After biological treatment the sludge
is passed to sludge processing unit.
Special care should be given for
sludge management. The sludge can
be filled into three layer polythene
bags and can be used for low land
filling purpose.

Advantages of biological ETP

Advantages :
Low investment and operational costs
High efficiency and process stability
Compact plant dimensions
Biological phosphorus and nitrogen removal
Particularly suited for heavy load waste
water
Particularly suited for upgrading of existing
waste water treatment facilities

Conclusion
From the above discussion we have
achieved a great deal of knowledge
about biological ETP.
