CASE SUDY CONCLUSION

 Cost-Effective Treatment Technology for  In terms of overall investment including

Small Sewage Treatment Plants in India initial investment and O & M for
(S. Gautam et. al., April 2017) effective life of STP, it has been found
that SBR is the most economical and
MBR most expensive. MBR as a
treatment option would be 25% more
expensive than SBR. As the treatment
quality of effluent from SBR is superior
to the rest of the variants and
comparable to MBR, SBR is
recommended as the most cost-effective
technology for the biological treatment
of sewage in India.
 Case Study Based Comparison of Popular  Based on this study, it can be concluded
Wastewater Technologies in Present that Soil Biotechnology is the technology
Scenario (M. Minhas et. al., January for the future. It has an edge over other
2017) treatment techniques. The advantages of
SBT as compared to other technologies
are listed below:
 Cost effective
 High efficiency in removing BOD
and COD.
 Efficient pathogen removal
 Odorless operation of the plant
 Environment friendly technology
 Maintains good aesthetic
quality-green gardens
 Skilled manpower is not required
 No use of chemicals
Thus, more focus should be given to SBT to make
it a primary treatment technique for all types of
wastewater owing to its large number of
advantages. It is one of the most feasible
solutions for urban wastewater management and
can be employed at apartments and institutions.
Comparison of CAS, MBR, SBR and Biolak In this study, the performance of
Treatment Systems in Removal of BOD and COD conventional activated sludge, MBR, SBR,
from Municipal Wastewater-Case Study: Ekbatan and Biolak wastewater treatment
Wastewater Treatment Plant (Mirbagheri S.A., et. systems in removing BOD and COD from
al., August 2017) municipal wastewater was investigated
at pilot scale. It was found that the
highest water quality was achieved by
the MBR and SBR pilots; more
specifically, the maximum BOD 5 removal
of 98.54% was achieved by the SBR pilot,
while the MBR pilot reached the highest
 COD removal of 97.1%. Therefore, it can
be concluded that SBR and MBR systems
are among the most suitable options for
municipal wastewater treatment with
regard to water quality.
Comparative Study of Different Technologies In this study, cost should be considered
Involved in Small Sewage Treatment Plant as a potential tool for the comparison of
(Ayushi M. et. al., Sepetember 2018) the STPs. The cost effective wastewater
technology has been driven by systematic
evaluation of installation cost and
present value of operation and
maintenance cost. The wisest hierarchy
found is: MBR˂USAB˂EA˂SBR˂MBBR. It is
found that MBBR requires the least and
MBR requires the higher cost.
The foot print area, MBR requires the
least foot print i.e. 0.48 m2 per KLD.
Therefore, if area is major constraint then
it could be better options.
EA˂USAB˂SBR˂MBBR˂MBR.
Overall investment, area and removal
efficiency it has been concluded that SBR
is most economical and efficient
technologies for small sewage treatment
plant and followed by MBBR.
