Abstract:

Urbanization has lead to water depletion & greater demand of water reuse. Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) are in existence for long so that the excessive amounts contaminants from sewage get reduced greatly& the water is fruitfully reused. Sewage treatment helps in reducing the burden on water bodies and reduces the degradation of water quality by ensuring that water use in done in appropriate manner like irrigation & flushing toilets. This study was conducted in a Sewage Treatment Plant in Mahima Panorma, Jagatpura, Jaipur. The performance & evaluation of this plant was never done long after its commissioning. The management was keen on doing this study as it will help them analyze the quality of parameters and the efficiency of this plant. The plant has a Moving Bed Bio-Film Reactor (MBBR) which is responsible for the activated sludge process which is the heart of the entire operation. The microorganisms which cause the decomposition stick as a bio-film to the medium. Parameters such as pH, BOD, COD, Oil & grease & TSS were evaluated to analyze the efficiency of this plant. The study would prove beneficial to the management of Mahima Panorama in assessing the efficiency of the existing equipment & expanding the existing plant capacity or operations for better results.This plan also defines the performance measurement plan taken up by this group which would be based on the aforementioned parameters.
