    The document discusses different sewage treatment technologies and their effectiveness in reducing fecal coliform levels. It finds that activated sludge processes (ASP), upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), membrane bioreactors (MBR), and waste stabilization ponds (WSP) can achieve 2-3 log unit reductions in fecal coliform, while activated sludge processes with biological nutrient removal (ASP-BNR), sequencing batch reactors (SBR), and MBR can achieve over 3 log unit reductions. Technologies with lower fecal coliform reductions require higher doses of ultraviolet disinfection and chlorination, increasing costs and disinfection byproduct formation. The document recommends designing treatment plants to achieve over 3 log unit

    TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE FOR SEWAGE TREATMENT FOR REDUCTION

    OF FECAL COLIFORM

    Different treatment technologies like ASP, UASB, ASP-BNR, MBR and WSP etc are
    adopted for sewage treatment in India. Efficiency of pollutant removal based on different
    technology and same is tabulated below

    S.NO Parameters Technology


    ASP ASP- SBR UASB+ FPU MBR WSP
    BNR
    1.0 Performance after Secondary treatment
    1.1 Effluent BOD (mg/l) <20 <10 <10 <30 <5 <40
    1.2 Effluent SS (mg/l) <30 <20 <10 <100 <5 <100
    1.3 Faecal coliform removal, Upto2<3 Upto3<4 Upto3<4 Upto2<3 Upto5<6 Upto2<3
    Log unit
    1.4 T-N removal Efficiency, 10-20 70-80 70-80 10-20 70-80 10-20
    %
    2.0 Performance after tertiary treatment (Filtration and U.V / Chlorination)
    2.1 Effluent BOD (mg/l) <10 <10 <10 <20 <5 <20
    2.2 Effluent SS (mg/l) <5 <5 <5 <10 <5 <10
    2.3 Effluent NH3N (mg/l) - <1 <1 - <1 -
    2.4 Effluent Fecal Coliforms, 10 10 10 1000 10 1000
    MPN/100 ml

    There is some pre-requisite for removal of Coliform before application of tertiary treatment.
    High Dosage of U.V. and Chlorination shall be required in case of UASB, ASP and WSP
    due to their limitation of removal efficiency of Coliform upto log unit of Upto2<3. High
    chlorine demand may ultimately result in formation of Trihalomethanes (THMs)
    compounds. THMs are generally stable and carcinogenic compounds. Similarly, high dose
    of U.V. will increase the capital cost and decrease their efficiency.
    Therefore, it is suggested that treatment plant shall be designed considering the Faecal
    Coliform removal efficiency, Log unit Upto3<4 so that tertiary system can work efficiently.
    Above table indicates that technologies like ASP-BNR, SBR, MBBR, MBR have capability
    to achieve BOD <20, SS<20, Faecal coliofrm removal, Log unit upto 3<4 and T-N removal
    efficiency upto 70-80%.
    STPs receiving Effluent having Fecal Coliform with 4 log concentration work efficiently
    with tertiary treatment with minimal dosage.
