1.0 OBJECTIVE:
To define a procedure for Operation of Effluent Treatment Plant.

2.0 SCOPE:
This SOP is applicable for Effluent Treatment Plant.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY:
Operator /Officer / Executive – Engineering

4.0 ACCOUNTABILITY:
Head – Engineering

6.0 PROCEDURE:
6.1 Industrial Effluent from all the sources is collected in Collection tank at ETP.

6.1.1 Prepare the 3.5% solution of Lime by adding 7 Kg Lime in 200 ltr. Lime mixing Tank making
the volume up to 200 ltr. with Raw water Note the quantity in ETP Chemical Consumption
record as Annexure – II.

6.1.2 Prepare 2.0% solution Alum by adding 4 Kg of Alum in 200 ltr. Alum Mixing Tank and making
the volume up to 200 ltr. with Raw water. Note the quantity in ETP Chemical Consumption
record as Annexure – II.
6.1.3 Prepare 0.02% solution by adding 20 gm in 100 ltr. Note the quantity in ETP Chemical
Consumption record as Annexure – II.

6.1.4 Effluent from all the sources is collected in Collection tank at ETP.

6.1.5 Take a sample from collection tank and check pH, TDS & Temperature of the Effluent &
Record the results in Annexure – 1.

6.1.6 Start the effluent transfer pump to Transfer effluent into Flash Mixer.

6.1.7 Start the flash mixer, Flocculator -1 & flocculator-2

6.1.8 If pH of the effluent is less than 7, add Lime solution into flash mixer with constant agitation.

6.1.9 If the pH more then 7, add the Alum solution into Alum dosing tank to equalize the effluent.

6.1.10 Add polyelectrolyte in flocculator with constant agitation.

6.1.11 Transfer the equalized effluent to Primary clarifier tank at a minimum flow rate so as to achieve
maximum settling of suspended matter.

6.1.12 Start the Primary sludge removal to remove the settled solids, known as chemical sludge, are
drained to sludge drying bed by pump.

6.1.13 The sludge from sludge drying bed, after drying, is collected in poly bags and shifted to
Hazardous waste storage room.

6.1.14 The treated water is collected in collection cum Filter feed tank.

6.1.15 Start the filter feed pumps and let the effluent pass through Dual Media Filter. Dual media filter
removes suspended impurities of the effluent.

6.1.16 Add 300gm DAP & 150 gm urea to be added in the SAFF reactor for proper growth of MLSS
and consumption of DAP & Urea shall be recorded in Annexure – II titled as “Chemical
Consumption Record”.

6.1.17 Then effluent passes through Activated Carbon Filter which removes colour & odour from the
effluent.

6.1.18 Check pH, TDS and Temperature of treated effluent and record the results in Annexure- I.

6.1.19 Finally the Treated Effluent is transferred to CETP through water flow meter for further
treatment and final disposal.
