ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We are gladly & thankful to Director as well as Principal Dr. Nandawar Sir and Head of
the Departments Mrs. H. R. Hange and our faculties who gave us a great guidance
regarding instructed us the importance of Environment. So we decided to take visit in
water treatment plant which is situated in Sultanpur.
We are especially thankful to charge officer of water treatment plant because he granted
us permission for taking visit at treatment plant and gave the proper guidance to students
and allow to visit for the practical based approach learning to student
GENERAL INFORMATION
Sultanpur have set up a Common Effluent Treatment Plant [CETP] at their location in Sultanpur. The
association has set up a common effluent treatment plant to treat the effluent arising from around 200
washing Ghats. The CETP consisting of physico-chemical treatment is designed and commissioned
by CA to treat 2000 cu.m/day of effluent with inlet BOD 180 mg/L. The total cost of these textile
industries project was Rs. 3 Millions and the plant was successfully commissioned in 1991 to give
treated effluent BOD < 100 mg/L.
PURPOSE OF VISIT
Our main purpose for this visit is to be familiar with industrial environment and to get
practical knowledge of water treatment plant components.
th
Also in 6 semester subject like water and waste water engineering requires knowledge
about how polluted water is being treated, so it is very much convenient to see all the
practical and components in real time work environment.
WHAT WE LEARN?
th
On 7 February, 2015 (Saturday) at 09:30 a.m. we reached at common effluent treatment
plant at jetpur. The visit started from the initial tank where the waste water of city and
industries is collected. Then that flow is collected from the inlet pipe and removes the
larger solid inorganic material such as paper, plastic, etc. by the rotating chamber.
Mr. Gondaliya, the incharge officer of water treatment plant guided all the students about
the entire process of water treatment plant.First unit of water treatment plant is screening
Mr. Gondaliya the incharge officer of water treatment plant provide basic information
about screening process of waste water treatment plant.
The collected waste water is transported to Preliminary treatment chamber; wastewater is
then passed through a primary sedimentation tank where solid particles of organic
material are removed from the suspension by gravity settling. The resultant settled
primary sludge is raked to the centre of the tank where it is concentrated and pumped
away for further treatment.
The next step of the treatment process is secondary clarifier. The water from the primary
tank is transported to the secondary clarifier for adding chemicals such as lime and alum
to reduce the PH of water.
The next stage is a biological process which breaks down dissolved and suspended
organic solids by using naturally occurring micro-organisms. It is called the activated
sludge process.
The settled wastewater enters aeration tanks where air is blown into the liquid to provide
oxygen for mixing and to promote the growth of micro-organisms. The “active biomass”
uses the oxygen and consumes organic pollutants and nutrients in the wastewater to grow
and reproduce.Some of this sludge is recycled to the inlet of the aeration tank to maintain
the biomass, hence the name for the process – activated sludge. The remainder is pumped
to anaerobic digesters for further treatment.
All the students were in hurry and in excitement for knowing the next steps of water
treatment. The next steps for wastewater treatment plants use disinfection for tertiary
treatment to reduce pathogens, which are micro-organisms which can pose a risk to
human health. The sludge is passed to the sludge handling system which contains 20%
sludge and 80% water.
Now again to remove the sludge particles the water is passed through the belt filter
press.The purified water is obtained by chemically treating the water coming out of the
belt filter press.
Mr. Gondaliya has little smile on his face by watching full of attention of all students and
then he explains the detail process of tertiary treatment.
In which Chlorine is usually dosed into the treated wastewater stream for disinfection.
However, uses large ponds in which sunlight and other micro-organisms reduce the
pathogens.
Although the PH of water is reduced and sludge content and other impurities are
removed, still water is not obtained in purified form as it contains the coloured water.
CONCLUSION
From this visit, we get the information and practical knowledge about the physio-
chemical treatment of waste water and components used in treatment plant. Some test
should be performing for general discussion with experts in the industry. About 40
students were benefited. The visit was nicely completed with group photography at
12:00pm.
Thank you
