Sewage treatment plant based on Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB) technology
It is proposed to provide a sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 70 KLD. The unit
operations of the treatment system are presented below:
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
The raw sewage will be collected in a collection sump and pumped to mechanical bar
screen chamber for removal of large floating matter followed by grit removal in Grit
Chamber. The raw sewage will then be collected in an equalization tank for
homogenization of hydraulic load. The tank contents will be kept in suspension by
means of course bubble serration through pipe grid. The equalization tank, with air
flow indicator for continuous monitoring of air supply to the tank in order to avoid
septic conditions, will be covered from top (RCC or FRP) to avoid nuisance. The
equalized effluent will then be pumped to two Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactors (FAB) in
series where BOD/COD reduction can be achieved by virtue of aerobic microbial
activities. The oxygen required will be supplied through coarse air bubble diffusers.
The bio-solids formed in the biological process will be separated in the downstream
Tube Settler. The clear supernatant will gravitate to the chlorine contact tank where
sodium hypochlorite will be dosed for disinfection of treated water prior to disposal.
The biological sludge generated in the FAB and settled in the tube settlers will be
collected in a sludge sump and then pumped to sludge drying bed for de watering. The
dried sludge will then be disposed off suitably as manure. The schematics of the
process are shown. The two main components of the treatment system viz. The FAB
reactor and tube settler are described in the following sections.
The Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB) consists of a tank in any shape filled up with
small carrier elements. The elements are made up of special grade PVC or
polypropylene of controlled density (shown in plate). For media of specific gravity 0.92-
0.96 the overall density could be expected to increase up to 9.5% when full of biomass
such that they can fluidize using an aeration device. A biofilm develops on the
elements, which move along the effluent in the reactor. The movement within the
A-3
reactor is generated by providing aeration with the help of diffusers placed at the
bottom of the reactor. Then thin biofilm on the elements enables the bacteria to act
upon the biodegradable matter in the effluent and reduce the BOD/COD content in the
presence of oxygen available from the air that is used for fluidization.

harmful to aquatic organisms in the receiving water. UV light kills viruses, Vegetative-
and spore-forming bacteria, algae and yeasts. No chemicals are added to the
wastewater to change the pH, conductivity, odor or taste to create possible toxic
compounds. UV treatment has a few moving parts to adjust or wear out.

The biomass in the aeration tank stabilizes BOD in wastewater by consuming the
organic matter in the wastewater. The metabolic activity results in growth of the
biomass population in the Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB). Sludge holding tank
has been provided with filter press for dewatering sludge. The filtrate drains off
through the media, which is again let into equalization tank. The dewatered sludge is
collected in trays, which can be used as manure in the garden.

Sewage treatment plant based on Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB) technology
It is proposed to provide a sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 70 KLD. The unit
operations of the treatment system are presented below:
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
The raw sewage will be collected in a collection sump and pumped to mechanical bar
screen chamber for removal of large floating matter followed by grit removal in Grit
Chamber. The raw sewage will then be collected in an equalization tank for
homogenization of hydraulic load. The tank contents will be kept in suspension by
means of course bubble serration through pipe grid. The equalization tank, with air
flow indicator for continuous monitoring of air supply to the tank in order to avoid
septic conditions, will be covered from top (RCC or FRP) to avoid nuisance. The
equalized effluent will then be pumped to two Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactors (FAB) in
series where BOD/COD reduction can be achieved by virtue of aerobic microbial
activities. The oxygen required will be supplied through coarse air bubble diffusers.
The bio-solids formed in the biological process will be separated in the downstream
Tube Settler. The clear supernatant will gravitate to the chlorine contact tank where
sodium hypochlorite will be dosed for disinfection of treated water prior to disposal.
The biological sludge generated in the FAB and settled in the tube settlers will be
collected in a sludge sump and then pumped to sludge drying bed for de watering. The
dried sludge will then be disposed off suitably as manure. The schematics of the
process are shown. The two main components of the treatment system viz. The FAB
reactor and tube settler are described in the following sections.
F IA - 10
process and submerged fixed film reactors while eliminating the drawbacks of these
systems. The plants are more compact and more energy efficient.
The Fluidized Aerobic Bio Reactor (FAB) consists of a tank in any shape filled up with
small carrier elements. The elements are made up of special grade PVC or
polypropylene of controlled density (shown in plate). For media of specific gravity 0.92-
0.96 the overall density could be expected to increase up to 9.5% when full of biomass
such that they can fluidize using an aeration device. A biofilm develops on the
elements, which move along the effluent in the reactor. The movement within the
reactor is generated by providing aeration with the help of diffusers placed at the
bottom of the reactor. Then thin biofilm on the elements enables the bacteria to act
upon the biodegradable matter in the effluent and reduce the BOD/COD content in the
presence of oxygen available from the air that is used for fluidization.

Building Materials
The building materials chosen for the landed and apartment units are as per the
recommendations of the climatic standards.
To achieve the maximum energy value, a balance between the availability of
building materials locally and skilled labourers is achieved.
Burnt brickwork with fly ash for the walling and plastering reduces the thermal
penetration by 20-30%.
The RCC roof is covered with Brickbat concrete and terracotta weather tiles,
which reduces the heat penetration by 18%.
Colour of Facades
The colour choice for the buildings uses a maximum of white surface (nearly
84%). This increases the solar reflectivity factor.
Emittance factor for white surfaces is around 90% compared to coloured
surface (20-60%)
16% of wall area uses earthen colours and this space has longer thermal storage
in the walls. This creates a comfortable temperature at nights due to the thicker
walls designed.
Heat Absorbance of the brick used for building is around 50%.
The roof of the units (if not covered with terrace garden) is painted white to
have a maximum reflectivity.
The R-factor (resistance factor) for the roof with brickbats and white painted is
nearly 40% more as compared to the recommended standards.

providing shade and through evapotranspiration, the release of water from plants to
the surrounding air. The benefits of green roofs include:
Reduce sewage system loads by assimilating large amounts of rainwater.
Absorb air pollution, collect airborne particulates, and store carbon.
Protect underlying roof material by eliminating exposure to the sun's ultraviolet
(UV) radiation and extreme daily temperature fluctuations.
Serve as living environments that provide habitats for birds and other small
animals.
