Sewage Treatment Plant
Sewage Treatment Plant
Soil Bio- technology is a terrestrial system for wastewater treatment which is based on the principle of trickling filter. In this system, combination of physical processes like sedimentation, infiltration and biochemical processes are carried out to remove the suspended solids, organic and inorganic contents of the wastewater.
Suitable mineral constitution, culture containing native micro-flora and bio- indicator plants are the key components of the system. It is also known as Constructed Soil Filter (CSF). SBT systems are constructed from RCC, stone-masonry or soil bunds. It consists of raw water tank, bioreactor containment, treated water tank, piping and pumps.
What are the SBT technology's features?
- It's environmentally friendly.
- There isn't any further aeration required
- Consumption of minimal energy.
- No development of bio-sludge.
- Removal of pollution load in a timely manner.
- One-time set-up of media.
- An extended period of existence.
- Few mechanical and electrical devices are available.
- The most efficient use of available space and the creation of natural ecosystems.
Do SBT treatment plants have many advantages over other technologies?
- Energy consumption is less than other technologies, so it saves you money over time.
- Unlike other technologies, it can handle varying loads much better than other technologies.
- The water can be treated without the use of chemicals in just one pass without the need for chemicals.
- This water purification system provides comparable water quality to international standards within 0.5 to 2.0 hours after starting up.
- On the other hand, it produces no bio sludge at all in comparison with other technologies.
- As opposed to mechanical aeration, a natural ecosystem is able to do the job of purifying the water by generating its own oxygen.
- The operating and maintenance costs of traditional technologies are considerably higher than those of modern technologies.
- The process is not specialized and no laborers are needed.
