Abstract
This project focuses on the design and implementation of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to effectively manage and treat wastewater before its safe discharge or reuse. The growing urban population and industrial activities have significantly increased sewage generation, leading to environmental pollution and health hazards if untreated. This project aims to highlight a sustainable approach to wastewater treatment, ensuring compliance with environmental standards while conserving water resources. The proposed STP utilizes primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment processes, including sedimentation, biological treatment, and filtration, to remove physical, chemical, and biological contaminants from sewage. Modern technologies such as activated sludge processes, membrane bioreactors, and UV disinfection are incorporated for efficient treatment. The treated water is suitable for non-potable applications such as irrigation, industrial use, and groundwater recharge, contributing to water sustainability. This project also emphasizes energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and minimal environmental impact. Sludge generated from the process is further treated and can be used as bio-fertilizer or for biogas production. The STP model can be adapted for residential communities, institutions, and municipalities, promoting public health and ecological balance.
