Sewage Treatment Plant: Overview and Operations

Sewage treatment plants use a systematic process to treat wastewater through primary, secondary, and tertiary treatments for environmental benefits and potential reuse. Primary treatment removes large objects and grit, secondary treatment removes organic matter through aerobic or anaerobic processes, and tertiary treatment removes inorganic chemicals through filtration and other methods. Treated water can be used for non-potable purposes like landscaping, flushing, and cleaning, and through advanced treatment possibly for drinking water. The architect's role includes defining the optimal location, form and design of treatment plants while considering social, ecological, and environmental impacts.

What is STP?

Systematic process of treating


waste water for re-use/
environmental benefits
(Waste water into potable/non-potable water)

Why?

Water conservation
Environment friendly
Waste as resource
Sewage Treatment
Stages involved

Removal of large objects & grit, Settling, Oil skimming


Primary treatment

Secondary treatment Removal of organic matter ( Aerobic, Anaerobic)

Tertiary treatment Removal of in-organic chemical matter, filtration, ion exchange,


activated carbon adsorption, electro dialysis etc.
?
Can there any stage after tertiary treatment
of sewage

Can drinking water be recovered from


sewage majorly through eco-friendly
