Need for technology

Faecal Sludge Management is in infant stage in the state of Odissa. To fast track faecal sludge management along with sewage OWSSB has constructed FSTP at Basuaghai, which is centrally located in the non-sewered area of Bhubaneswar. The Sewerage system of the city is under construction and would time to be operational. Majority of the population of the city are dependent upon Onsite Sanitation. At present the Feacal Sludge is discharged into the environment without any treatment.

 

System description

 

 

 

• The plant has elevated unloading platform for trucks and tankers
• Faecal sludge is emptied into a sludge receiving box of 1.5 m x 1.5 m
• FS goes into an inlet channel which is 3m long
• Screen bar is placed in the channel at an angle of 45°
• From screens, influent goes to Setting-Thickening tanks of L x B x D = 14.5 m x 2.5 m x 2.55 m
• Thickened sludge is taken out of S-T tanks after a period of 10 days and the supernatant goes into ABR chambers
• Thickened Sludge is taken to sludge drying beds where they are kept till they are fully dried under direct sunlight
• The supernatant is then kept in ABR for 2-3 days for anaerobic treatment
• Effluent from ABR is then send to the horizontal planted/unplanted gravel filter
• Water from gravel filters is then taken to polishing pond and finally the treated water is used within the plant premises for landscaping
