Sewage Treatment Plants
[wpseo_breadcrumb]
STP is a facility to treat waste water collected from the households, colonies, townships or cities. Wastewater contains contaminants that include bacteria, organic chemicals and other toxins. STP aims at reducing these contaminants to the acceptable level. Micro-organisms converts the polluted water, sewage, waste etc. into the clean or clear water. STP improves the quality of water and makes it safe for disposal or discharge back into the environment or the treated water can also be reused for the purpose of gardening, irrigation, flushing etc. depending on the degree of treatments involved.
This process also produces co-product like compact solid biomass, methane, nitrogen etc. However, translating this simple principle into a properly designed and engineered STP is a real challenge.
Importance of STP
Looking at the growing concerns for the environment and water scarcity issues, effective treatment of sewage using sewage treatment plants has become a very crucial requirement. A well designed STP is the best solution to address the issues related to the environment by treating the waste water effectively. Presently, large size STP’s are designed and constructed in conventional ways, but till date, for small size requirements, there is no reliable or user friendly solution available. Considering this need for effective and user-friendly solution and to address various problems in the conventional methods, Supreme has come out with a superior, ready to use, packaged STP’s under the brand name of Safegard.

Working Mechanism
1. Primary Treatment
Bar Screen and Grit Settler: The function of the bar screen is to prevent entry of floating particles such as plastic cups, paper dishes, polythene bags, condoms and sanitary napkins into the STP. If these items are allowed to enter the STP, they clog and damage the STP pumps, and could cause malfunctioning of the plant. The screening is achieved by placing a screen made out of vertical bars, placed across the sewage flow. Typically this is the preliminary level of filtration.
Equalization Tank: The sewage from the bar screen chamber reaches to the equalization tank. This tank is the first collection tank in an STP. Its main function is to collect the incoming raw sewage that comes at widely fluctuating flow rates and quality. During the peak hours, sewage comes at a high rate. The equalization tank stores this sewage, and let it out during the non-peak time when there is no or little incoming sewage.
2. Secondary Treatment
Anaerobic digestion: Anaerobic process is the process through which microorganisms break down the biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. This is used for the treatment of domestic or industrial waste. This process is mainly used to reduce the energy in waste treatment and sometimes to gain energy also.
Aeration: The aeration tank is at the heart of the treatment system. The main function of the aeration tank is to maintain a high population level of microbes. This leads to better degradation in a given time span or minimizes the required reactor volumes. In comparison to the conventional activated sludge process (ASP) which typically achieves 95% overall efficiency, in Safegard STP it reaches up to 98%.
3. Tertiary Treatment
For giving self-sustainable tertiary treatment for the treated wastewater, it is proposed to construct a wetland or polishing by a sand filter and activated carbon filter. Treated water is then subjected to disinfection by Ozone or Chlorine (Sodium Hypo Chloride)
