MBBR is an aerobic attached biological growth process. It does not require primary clarifier and sludge recirculation. Raw sewage, after screening and de-gritting, is fed to the biological reactor. In the reactor, floating plastic media is provided which remains in suspension. Biological mass is generated on the surface of the media. Attached biological mass consumes organic matter for their metabolism. Excess biological mass leaves the surface of media and it is settled in clarifier. Abstract - In hospitals where the demand for water is huge, it is highly feasible to adopt a system of waste water recycling for purposes like toilet flushing, gardening/agriculture and for maintenance of landscape, since these are usages with low physical contact. Among the available technologies for waste water treatment, MBBR based sewage treatment is most suitable. This paper demonstrates the detailed procedure for the design of a MBBR based sewage treatment plant of 650 KLD capacity for MEDICITY Hospital Thiruvalla. The present study comprises the study on quality of domestic waste water and industrial waste water. The study includes characterization tests for pH value, acidity, alkalinity, chloride, turbidity & BOD etc. Depending upon the values of these parameters, calculations are done for designing the different units of a Sewage Treatment Plant at Medicity Hospital . 2.

CHEMICAL 1. INTRODUCTION DESIGN OF PARTICULAR TREATMENTS Hospital wastewater contains pathogenic agents and hazardous compounds; so, it will cause many risks on environmental and human health. Hospitals consume large volume of water per day for different purposes and also generate large volumes of wastewater that need to be treated. There are many units which generate waste water such as patient wards & administration units, kitchen /canteen & laundry, operating units & ICUs, radiology & dialysis section, laboratories. The main function of waste water treatment plant is to protect environment and human health from excessive overloading of various pollutants. Moving Bed Bio-film Reactor (MBBR) is gaining importance around the world. It is a leading technology in waste water treatment as this system can operate at smaller footprints and give higher removal efficiency. It is compact, efficient and effective option for domestic waste water treatment.

CONCLUSIONS Since, hospital wastewater consists of various potentially hazardous components that will cause many risks on human and environment by polluting surface and ground water. Hence, hospital sewage treatment is very much required.

It is hoped that this would act as a reference for the designers as well as the stakeholders in hospitals to adopt this or similar technologies. REFERENCES 1.
