SBR STP
Design Basis
The inlet quality indicated is typical of domestic Effluent. Where the kitchen waste
forms a substantial part, BOD and COD can be as much as 500 ppm and 900 ppm
respectively. In such cases, please contact us for suitable design. Changes in the inlet
Sewage water will change the outlet water quality.
Screening
Sewage is received into the screening chamber by gravity. Screen provided will remove all
floatables and big size material such as plastic bottles, glasses, stones, etc., which may creates
operational problems clogging and higher head lost, which may lead to overflow of the tanks.
Process
The operation of an SBR is based on a fill-and-draw principle, which consists of five steps-fill,
react, settle, draw, and idle. These steps can be altered for different operational applications.
Fill: During the fill phase, the basin receives influent wastewater. The influent brings food to the
microbes in the activated sludge, creating an environment for biochemical reactions to take place.
React: During this phase, no wastewater enters the basin and the mechanical mixing and aeration units
are on. Because there are no additional volume and organic loadings, the rate of organic removal
increases.
Settle: During this phase, activated sludge is allowed to settle under quiescent conditions—no flow
enters the basin and no aeration and mixing takes place. The activated sludge tends to settle as a
flocculent mass.
Decant: During this phase, a decanter is used to remove the clear supernatant effluent. There are
Floating and Fixed-arm decanters.
1. Floating decanters maintain the inlet orifice slightly below the water surface to minimize the
removal of solids in the effluent removed during the decant phase.
2. Fixed-arm decanters are less expensive and can be designed to allow the operator to lower or raise
the level of the decanter
Idle: This step occurs between the decant and the fill phases. The time varies, based on the influent
flow rate and the operating strategy. During this phase, a small amount of activated sludge at the
bottom of the SBR basin is pumped out.
Advantages
No need of Settling Tank
No secondary clarifiers and return activated sludge lines
Consistent good quality treated water for reuse applications
Low Sludge productions
No clogging, cleaning and free from common treatment problems
Lower construction, installation, operation and maintenance cost
Disinfection
The treated Sewage is then added with chlorine to kill the pathogens / E-Coli coliforms, so that
it becomes fit for disposal. Chlorine being a very strong oxidizing agent. The treated Sewage,
now substantially free from organic contamination, free from coliform bacteria can be safely
disposed. This water can also be re-used for gardening etc. after suitable tertiary treatment.
Tertiary Treatment
The purpose of tertiary treatment is to provide a final treatment stage to further improve the
Sewage quality before it is discharged to the receiving environment (sea, river, lake, wet lands,
ground, etc.). More than one tertiary treatment process may be used at any treatment plant. If
disinfection is practiced, it is always the final process. It is also called "Sewage polishing." The
filtration bed periodically requires a backwash.
