Performance Evaluation of 17MLD STP with Respect to Physico-chemical and Biological Characteristics

Abstract

The primary goal of treatment is to minimise or completely remove the pollutants present in sewage water. To meet regulatory environmental standards, an assessment of the efficacy of a sewage treatment facility's pollution reduction efforts was necessary. Wastewater re-use must follow rules and indications must be routinely checked and impended in order to protect the public's health, land and water supplies, and irrigation techniques. Requirements must therefore be given top importance throughout the stages of review and development. Chemical and biological methods were employed to regulate the removal efficiency of treatment facilities. This study evaluates and investigates the efficiency and functionality of Kolhapur's 17 MLD sewage treatment facility (STP). Water quality needs to be regularly monitored in wastewater treatment facilities. The current study will assist the treatment facility in its efforts to enhance the therapeutic procedure. One would be able to update the effluent efficiency standards based on seasonal oscillations in wastewater treatment as the evaluation explains the range of water quality indicators in waste water plants. The analytical data that were gathered make it much easier to identify, address, and manage plant operating and maintenance issues; these findings may be used when planning the future plant expansion to assure successful outcomes. The primary water quality indicators, including Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), were measured in waste water samples that were collected at various phases of treatment units.
