Abstract
This research work which emphasizes the wise approach to systematically put the wastewater to pretreatment to treat the
water to the desired degree as per the standards, prior to its disposal, so that the water may also be made eligible for its
reuse/ recycle for irrigation etc. purpose and thus the waste be transformed successfully to a resource. The objectives of
this work are complete design of raw water & Waste water treatment plant with limiting input data and Excel spreadsheet
for the above waste water treatment plant design have been prepared for quick design of desired units with varied input
data within the specified range. The proposed treatment plant is efficient for bringing down the wastewater characteristics
to the desired standard of disposal as applicable for Mahoba Town in U.P. For the design purpose, the average discharge
for fresh water treatment and design discharge for waste water treatment has been adopted 16500 m 3/day and 26400
m3/day respectively, various treatment units have been successfully designed as per standards and have been proposed
for a population of 1 lakh people (Mahoba town). The treatment plant has been designed with the design period of 25
years.
Introduction
Absolute pure water is never found in nature but contains suspended, colloidal & dissolved impurities. Hence treatment
of water to absolute removal of these impurities. The world is facing today, the water scarcity. Due to the mismanagement
of water, the fresh water is been harnessed with great pace and generation of waste water and hence its safe disposal has
become a concern. To cope up with the present problem of water scarcity, the wastewater treatment and it’s recycling are
given the prime importance everywhere. The wastewater if treated to the desired degree will be helpful to reuse/ recycle
it for activities like irrigation, air conditioning, washing and other industrial usage etc. As a result, the fresh
underground/surface water may be spared and the water scarcity problem may be properly addressed. In context to the
above, the wastewaters generated in the municipal vicinity are required to be properly disposed by adopting proper
sanitation techniques and giving the pre-treatment to it. The salient design units of raw water treatment include intake,
pumping, pre-sedimentation (in some cases), coagulation, flocculation, clarification, adsorption, filtration, disinfection,
storage, and pumping to treat water for consumption. And salient design units of waste water treatment include receiving
chamber, Screens (Coarse/ Fine), pumping units, Grit chamber, Skimming Tank, PST, ASP, Aeration tank, SST, Sludge
drying beds and disinfecting tank.
Methodology
The population to be served during such period will have to be estimated with due regard to all the factors governing the
future growth and development of the city in the industrial, commercial, educational, social and administrative spheres.
There are various methods to estimate the population. Three methods are considered for Estimation of papulation for 25
years are given below.

The treatment of Wastewater consists of many complex functions. The degree of treatment depends upon the
characteristics of the raw inlet Wastewater as well as the required effluent characteristics. Treatment processes are often
classified as:
Preliminary treatment
Primary treatment
Secondary treatment
Tertiary treatment

Preliminary Treatment- It consist solely in separating the floating materials like tree branches, papers, pieces of rags,
wood, etc, and heavy settable inorganic solids. The processes under this are: Screening, Grit chamber And Skimming
tank.
Primary Treatment- Primary treatment removes the materials that can be easily collected from the raw wastewater and
disposed of. The main purpose of the primary clarification stage is to produce both a generally homogeneous liquid capable
of being treated biologically and a sludge that can be separately treated or processed.
Secondary Treatment- It is designed to substantially degrade the biological content of the wastewater such as are derived
from human waste, food waste, soaps, and detergent. The majority of municipal and industrial plants treat the settled
Wastewater liquor using aerobic biological processes.
Tertiary Treatment- The purpose of tertiary treatment is to provide a final treatment stage to raise the effluent quality
before it is discharged to the receiving environment (sea, river, lake, ground, etc.).
