 Intriductions
The term waste water treatment refers to
the application various engineering
techniques to change their
properties(either physical, chemical or
biological) suitable for any purposes or
suitable to be disposed off without the
risk of any kind as per mentioned in the
EPA rules and regulations.
 Purposed
To manage water discharged from homes,
businesses, and industries to reduce the threat of
water pollution.
 To reuse the water discharged form various sources
either for drinking or agricultural purpose.
To reuse the water for easily recharging the ground
water bodies.
 To safely dispose off the treated water to natural
not causing any harm to living bodies inside or near
the water .
Wastewater Treatment
Pre-treatment
Preliminary treatment
Primary treatment
Secondary treatment
Advanced water treatment
Waste Water Treatment
 Pretreatment
Pre-Treatment of Waste Water is
Required in almost at all Places Except a
few .
 Pre-Treatment of Water means
Removing the Floating Materials from the
Waste Water.
This Treatment includes Removing of
floating materials by bars and Screening
 Preliminary Treatment

 Removes large objects and non-

degradable materials
 Protects pumps and equipment from
damage
 Bar screen and grit chamber
 Bar Screen
catches large objects that have gotten into
sewer system such as bricks, bottles, pieces
of wood, etc.
 Grit Chamber
Removes Rocks, Gravel, Broken Glass, etc
 Mesh Screen
Removes Diapers, Combs, Towels, Plastic
Bags, Syringes, etc
 Primary Treatment
Physical Process
Wastewater flow is Slowed down and
Suspended Solids Settle to the bottom
by Gravity
The Material that Settles is Called
Sludge or Bio-solids
 Primary Sedimentation Tank
 Sludge from the Primary
Sedimentation Tanks is Pumped to the
Sludge Thickener.
 More Settling Occurs to Concentrate
the Sludge Prior to Disposal
Primary Treatment:cons
 Primary treatment reduces the suspended
solids and the B.O.D. of the wastewater.
 From the primary treatment tanks water is
pumped to the trickling filter for secondary
treatment.
Secondary treatment will further reduce the
suspended solids and B.O.D. of the wastewater.
 Secondary Treatment
Secondary Treatment is a Biological
Process.
Utilizes Bacteria and algae to
Metabolize Organic Matter in the Waste
Water.
In Cape Girardeau Secondary Treatment
Occurs on the Trickling Filter
Secondary Treatment
 Secondary Treatment is
Performed By
 Trickling filter
Rotating Biological contactor
 Oxidation Ponds
Above processes can be performed in different
way
Aerobic decomposition
An-aerobic decomposition
 Trickling filter
From Secondary Treatment on the Trickling
filter Water Flows to the Final Clarifiers for
further Removal of Sludge.
The Final Clarifiers are another Set of
Primary Sedimentation Tanks.
From the Final Clarifiers the Water is
Discharged Back to the Mississippi River.
 Wastewater Treatment
The final Clarifiers Remove Additional Sludge and
further Reduce Suspended Solids and B.O.D.
Rotating Biological Contactor
Water Filter
A rotating biological contactor is a type of
secondary (Biological) treatment process. It
consists of a series of closely spaced, parallel
discs mounted on a rotating shaft which is
supported just above the surface of the
waste water.
Rotating Biological Contactor
Water Filter
Oxidation Ponds
Oxidation ponds, also called lagoons or stabilization ponds,
are large, shallow ponds designed to treat wastewater through
the interaction of sunlight, bacteria, and algae.
Disposal of Sludge or Bio-solids
the Sludge Undergoes lime
Stabilization (pH is raised by addition of
lime) to Kill Potential Pathogens.
The Stabilized Sludge is Land Applied
by Injection in to Agricultural Fields
 Conclusions
Waste Water Treatment Is An Importance Initializes Which Has To
Be Taken More Seriously For the Betterment Of Society and Our
Future
Waste Water Treatment Is Process Which in Contaminant are
Rammed From The Waste Water As well As House Hold Sewage to
Produce Waste Stream Or Solid Waste Suitable For Discharged Or
Reused
Waste Water Treatment Method is Categorized in to there Sub
Divisional , Physical ,Chemical And Biological
 Construction Site Consist Of Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)
Where There is also Plant for Provisional of Sewage Treatment Plan
