Sewage Treatment Plant (SBR) : Kalpataru Construction Overseas, Mumbai

A sewage treatment plant using sequential batch reactor (SBR) technology was installed in the basement of a commercial and residential building in Mumbai to treat sewage onsite and reuse the treated water. The compact SBR system was chosen to fit in the limited space and to achieve high nutrient removal so that the water could be reused for toilet flushing, landscaping, and cooling towers. The 65 cubic meter per day plant successfully treats sewage to meet standards for various reuse applications.

Sewage Treatment Plant (Sbr)

Kalpataru Construction Overseas, Mumbai

Challenge
For the Commercial cum residential building at the Camlin compound in Andheri, Mumbai, the builder decided
to treat the sewage from the entire building in a common Sewage Water Treatment Plant (STP) and make it
fit for reusing as toilet flushing, as landscaping irrigation water and partially as make-up water for building’s
central air- conditioning cooling towers. As commercial space being a constraint in Mumbai there was less
availability of open space and hence it was decided to install the Sewage Treatment Plant in the basement
of the premises.

Solution
Considering physical limitations and hydraulic
variations in sewage flows, it was decided to
adopt “Inter – Air” batch type of Extended
Aeration System for treatment of domestic
sewage in an underground STP.

Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) was chosen


because of its compact footprint and ability to
achieve enhanced nutrient removal. Also the
output water needed to be used for a multiple
of uses – right from toilet flushing, landscaping
and cooling towers.

Plant Highlights
A Manual Bar Screen was installed with an Inter-Air Aeration Tank Piping and Valves. As the outlet water
needed to be used for multiple uses, a lot of additional fitments were installed in the Sewage Treatment Plant.
For Aeration, Air Blowers were provided with Pressure Sand Filter Feed Pumps and Cooling Tower Make-up
Water Feed Pumps. For treating the hardness, a softener was installed and a sodium hypochlorite dosing
system for the softened water. Pressure Sand Filters were installed with sump pumps with a PAC Dosing
System. Additionally a sodium hypochlorite dosing system was installed for the filtered water. To handle
corrosion and ensure longevity of the plant, the SS 304 pipes were laid with neoprene rubber gaskets.
