How Do Sewage Treatment Plants Work

Sewage Treatment Plant work is categorized in different stages and different ways with the help of different sizes and shapes of STP Plant. But all the machines are designed and developed to work on the same core principle. Read the article to get detailed information on the core principle of the sewage treatment process and the different styles of treatment process.

As sewage enters a plant for treatment, it flows through a screen, which removes large floating objects such as rags and sticks that might clog pipes or damage equipment. After sewage has been screened, it passes into a grit chamber, where cinders, sand, and small stones settle to the bottom.

But before that, you should know what a sewage treatment plant does

A sewage treatment plant is designed for treating the wastewater which is generated from Houses, Commercial Building, Colony, Apartments, or Industries. The major focus of treatment is on removing contaminants that are harmful to the environment. Finally, treated water quality is good enough for reusability (eg. farming, toilets, gardens, cleansing) or to discharge into the rivers, ponds & other natural sources without any harm.

How does a sewage treatment plant work?

Working Sewage Treatment Plant is divided into three major categories:

1. Primary Treatment

In the initial process which is also known as the preliminary treatment method, most of the solid from the wastewater is removed. The process includes large filtering screens by which solid objects are removed.

      2. Secondary Treatment

In the secondary phase of Sewage Treatment, the effluents are treated to remove the dissolved biological suspended. At this stage of separation process of treatment removes the micro-organisms.

      3. Tertiary Treatment

This is the final stage of  the water treatment process; again water goes to filters to remove more waste if any found which is left during secondary treatment. Then the wastewater is disinfected chemically through micro-filtration which filters the water completely before releasing it to the natural sources of water like- seawater, lakes, ponds, or for reusability.
