Unit IV Disposal of Sewage
Methods • Water - Dilution • Land - Effluent irrigation or broad irrigation or sewage farming
Disposal by dilution • River stream or lake or sea • Purified in due course of time by self purification process
Conditions favouring dilution • • Sewage is fresh (4 to 5 hr old) Free from floating and settleable solids Diluting water (source of water has high DO) Diluting water not used for the purpose of navigation and water supply for some distance • Outfall sewer (sewer used for disposing sewage) is near some natural water
Dilution in Rivers and self purification The process of automatic purification of polluted water in due course of time by the stream itself which has been polluted is called as self purification process. I. Physical forces • Dilution & dispersion: When the putresible organic matter is discharged into a large volume of water contained in the river stream it gets rapidly dispersed and diluted. Such action results into the decrement in pollution concentration. • Sedimentation: Heavier settable solids settle at the river bed • Sunlight: Aquatic plants absorb sunlight and carries out the process of photosynthesis with the help of chlorophyll. Such process of photosynthesis supplies a valuable amount of O 2 to the stream i. e. increases DO content of stream.
II. Chemical and biological forces • Oxidation: The oxidation of the organic matter present in sewage effluent will start as soon as the sewage outfalls into the river water containing dissolved oxygen. The deficiency of O 2 so created will be filled by atmospheric O 2. • Reduction: Reduction occurs due to hydrolysis of organic matter settled at the bottom either chemically or biologically. Anaerobic bacteria will help in splitting the complex organic constituents of sewage into liquids and gases.
III. Other factors are • Temperature • Turbulence • Hydrography • Rate of reaeration • Amount of dissolved oxygen • Amount and type of organic matter

UNIT V Disposal of Sludge
Sludge Production Sludge Thickening Sludge Digestion Sludge Elutriation Sludge Dewatering Sludge Disposal
Removal of These “Pollutants” Produces “Residuals” Often called “Sludge” Settleable Suspended Dissolved Wastewater Organic Inorganic Pre Treatment Rock Grit Plastic Etc. Suspended Dissolved Primary Clarifier d u l S ge Effluent Secondary Sl Secondary Clarifier ud ge
Sludge – Residual, separated solid suspended in liquid Sludge deposited in primary sedimentation tank – Raw sludge – odourous, contains high putrescible organic matter Sludge deposited in secondary sedimentation tank/ clarifier (after trickling filter/ASP) – Secondary sludge – less objectionable Sludge need to be stabilized before disposal
Moisture Content • In addition to putrescibility, another problem is its moisture content Source of sludge Moisture Content Raw sludge 95% Secondary sludge (Trickling Filter) 96% to 98% Secondary sludge (Activated Sludge Process) 98% to 99% • High M. C sludge is bulky • 95% moisture means 5 litres of solids in 100 litres of water; 90% moisture means 10 litres of solids in 100 litres of water, i. e. , 5 litres of solids in 50 litres of water • Sludge with 90% moisture will be half in quantity compared to sludge with 95% moisture, for the same volume of solids
Sludge Thickening • Process used to increase the solids content of sludge by the separation and removal of a portion of the liquid phase. • Gravity thickening makes use of the force of gravity as the main agent in the settling and thickening process. • Reduces the operational costs of the handling and treatment of the sludge • The main reasons for thickening sludge prior to digestion are: Ø To maximise the use of the available digester capacity and reduces retention time. Ø To reduce the amount of heat required in a heated digester
1. Gravity Thickening
2. Floatation Thickening
3. Centrifugal Thickening
Sludge Digestion • Stabilization of sludge by decomposing the organic matter under controlled anaerobic conditions • 40% to 60% of organic solids are converted by bacteria into carbon dioxide and methane gases • Remaining OM is chemically stable, odourless & contain 90% to 95% moisture
Sludge broke into • Digested sludge – stable solid matter, black in colour, reduced moisture content, 1/3 rd volume, free of pathogenic bacteria - fertiliser • Supernatant liquor – liquified & finely divided solid matter, high BOD (3000 ppm) – retreated with raw sewage • Gases of decomposition – CH 4 (65 to 70%), CO 2 (30%), inert gases like NO 2, H 2 S etc – used as fuel
Sludge Digestion Tanks 1. Single stage conventional digestors
2. High rate digestor
Stages in Sludge Digestion Process • Acid Fermentation Stage : p. H<6, 15 days, high BOD • Acid Regression Stage : p. H=6. 8, 3 months, high BOD • Alkaline Fermentation Stage: p. H=7. 5, 1 month, low BOD • For complete digestion- 4. 5 months @ 21 o. C
Acid Fermentation Stage Acid Regression Stage Alkaline Fermentation Stage
Factors affecting Sludge Digestion • Temperature Ø Zone of Thermophilic Digestion Range : 40 to 600 C; Optimum : 54 o. C; 10 -15 days Ø Zone of Mesophilic Digestion Range : 25 to 400 C; Optimum : 29 o. C; 30 days • p. H value During start-up : >6. 5 Final stage : 7. 2 to 7. 4 • Seeding with digested sludge • Mixing and stirring of the raw sewage with digested sewage
Sludge Conditioning • To improve drainability • Methods are chemical conditioning (addition of chemicals like ferric and aluminium salts and lime) and elutriation (Process of washing the sludge water, to remove organic & fatty acids)
Sludge Dewatering
Mechanical Methods • Vacuum Filtration • High-speed centrifuges
Heat Drying
Disposal of Sludge • • Dumping into sea Burial into trenches Incineration Lagoons (without digestion)
Land disposal
Incineration • Combustion of sludge at high temperature to form ash 1. Multiple Hearth Incinerator
2. Fluidized bed Incinerators
3. Infra-red furnace
