1. INTRODUCTION Hospital waste water is a type of waste water, generated from all the medical and non medical activities

from the operating rooms, emergency and first aid, laboratory, diagnosis, radiology, kitchen and laundry etc.

The waste water from hospital may contain various potential hazardous materials including, microbiological

pathogens, radioactive isotopes, disinfectants, drugs, chemical compounds such as antibiotics ,cytostatic agents,

anesthetics, disinfectants (due to their major use in hospital practice), platinum, mercury (in preservatives in

diagnostic agents and as active ingredients of disinfectants), and pharmaceuticals. My project is deals with the

design of STP to treat the sewage water from Jubilee mission hospital. It includes the major components such as

inlet chamber, screen chamber, grit chamber, collection tank, aeration tank, secondary clarifier, and tube filter.

When considering the population inflation and future developments, to hospital, the capacity of current STP is

insufficient. (800 cum/day). So, STP which can be handles the future sewage requirement of hospital to be

design for 30 years. The existing STP having lower capacity, i.e. 800 cum/day can be replaced by the STP

having 1700 cum/day. Proper treatment of hospital waste water is essential. Why because, if the effluent from

hospital is discharged directly into the land without any proper treatment, it will negatively impact the

environment as well as human beings. Hence, the selection of suitable treatment technology is essential. The

design of sewage treatment plant followed by extended aeration type of activated sludge process. Especially for

smaller plants up to 4 MLD capacities, it was decided to use extended aeration type of activated sludge plant,

which eliminates primary settling tank as well as sludge digestion tank. The other reason for selecting extended

aeration activated sludge process is the limited land area. It was decided to design the S.T.P using activated

sludge process for the secondary treatment instead of using the trickling filter. The various treatment

technologies used for treat the of hospital wastewater are, activated sludge process (ASP), extended aeration

(E.A.), fluidized bed reactor (FBR), submerged aeration fixed film (SAFF) Rector and movable bed bio-reactor

(MBBR). ASP is very old and user’s friendly technology. E.A. is exactly similar kind of treatment technology

like ASP, except more hydraulic retention time to give extended aeration for the complete digestion of organic

matter. SBR is also similar to E.A system. But biodegradation as well as settling of solids and removal of sludge

wastewater which works on the principle based on the filtration of activated sludge through the concept of using

flat sheet type or hollow fiber type submerged membrane modules in bioreactors. My project also deals with the

estimation and rate analysis of the designed STP, environmental impact assessment of the existing plant, to

develop small scale model for STP as per the designed value , to check whether it’s working is satisfactory or

not.

1.2 Environmental impact assessment (EIA)

Based on the project details and the environmental status, potential impacts as a result of the

construction and operation of the existing STP at Jubilee Mission Hospital, Thrissur have been identified. The

impacts on various factors of environment have been quantified to the extent possible. This study deals with the

anticipated positive as well as negative impacts. As the part of the project, visited site of the existing STP. In

order to make the work a comprehensive one, collected data from various departments related to the STP. A

survey was conducted near the STP site to know about the majority opinion about the existing plant. All the

local peoples are cooperated. From the survey conducted, negative and positive feedback from the peoples were

obtained. Majority of feedback were positive. Collected water samples from school and houses near the of

existing STP site to test the parameters such as BOD, COD, SS, pH and oil & grease. From the data’s and

opinion, conducted environmental impact assessment by check list method.

Table: 1 Environmental impact assessment (EIA)

Houses and school were located nearer to the current STP. So any improper working of STP would

affect students as well as persons directly. For analyzing this, the current status of water in wells near the STPS

is checked. The result shows that the water sample is pure and potable.

1.3 Existing features: Quantity and characteristics of effluent

Total No of Beds: 1700 Any.

Designed period: Life time

The quantity of waste water to be generated in the hospital is from (bathroom, operation theatre,

laboratory, wash basins, washing area / laundry section, and septic tank overflow etc.)

Qty. of Waste water partially treated in the old treatment plant : 800Cu.m./day.

The current capacity of the beds in hospital is 1700, and the old plant was designed for handling only 2000

beds. But actually 1500 beds were present at that time. The new STP designed for 3065 beds. For 3065 Beds,

the average flow is 1700 m3/day. When considering the population inflation and future developments in the

hospital, the capacity of the current STP would be insufficient. So, there is a need for design the STP which

would be sufficed to handle the future sewage requirements of the hospital.

1.5 Choosing the type of secondary treatment:

Since the desired quality of the treated effluent was of a high standard, and the available land area for

construction of plant was limited, it was decided to design the S.T.P using activated sludge process for the

secondary treatment instead of using the trickling filters.

Moreover, considering the various advantages offered by the extended aeration process, especially for

smaller plants up to 4 MLD capacities, it was decided to use extended aeration type of activated sludge plant,

which eliminates primary settling tank as well as sludge digestion tank.

4. Methodology 4.1 Materials for STP model

Small scale model for STP s were developed using glass and plastic containers as per obtained

designed value. Materials used for the small scale STPs were sand, activated carbon, and coarse aggregate for

filtration process. Other materials were, mini motors, small aerators, Lime, and nutrient agent etc.Aeration tanks

and tube settler were made by glass material having size 37 x18x10 cm and 23x18x40 cm. To avoid purification

of effluent mini motors were used. Oxygen is supplied by means of small aerators.

4.1.1Sand

Sand is a loose granular substance typically pale yellowish brown, resulting from the erosion of

siliceous and other rocks and forming a major constituent of beaches, river bed, etc. The sand is collected from

the market, located at Ollur. Sand passes through IS 2.36 mm is used . The filter medium should be of uniform

grain size to make sure that the pores between grains are the same size, so that the filters efficiency should be

equal over the bed. The sand used in the filtration process must have low silt content and hence the river sand is

preferred due to have less soluble salts in it. Sand must be washed thoroughly before it should be used as filter

media.

Fig :1 Sand passes through IS 2.36 mm sieve

As the water passing through the fine grained medium, pathogens are strained out as they encounter

small pore spaces. Pathogens are controlled by a bio film of beneficial microorganisms which are forms on the

surface of sand grains and removes pathogens through interactions and competitions. The most removal occurs

within the top few centimeters of sand bed where the biological activities are greatest.

4.1.2 Activated carbon

Activated carbon can be considered as a material of phenomenal surface area made up of millions of

pores - rather like “molecular sponge. The activated carbon was collected from house itself. Activated charcoal

or activated carbon is a typical form of carbon which is prepared by burning of coal or organic matter like

animal bones or coconut shells in controlled conditions.

Fig: 2 Activated carbon

4.1.3 Coarse aggregates

Coarse aggregate is provided to support the sand bed and to permit uniform drainage of the overlaying

sand. This layer allows water to drain freely from the sand bed while preventing sand from escaping to the outlet

tank. To accomplish the above purposes, aggregates must be graded. The aggregate which passes through 10

mm IS sieve and retain on 20 mm IS sieve is used.

Fig : 3 Coarse Aggregate passes through 10 mm

IS sieve and retain on 20 mm IS sieve

4.1.4 Lime

Lime is a calcium containing inorganic mineral in which carbonates, oxides, and hydroxide are

predominate. Otherwise it is defined as it is a colorless crystal or white powder and is obtained when calcium

oxide is mixed, or slaked with water.

designed value. About 2.5 L sewage waste water was collected from Jubilee mission hospital, Thrissur. Sewage

water diluted and to made as 5L. Checked the parameters of diluted sewage water. A plastic container of 22 L

capacity is used as an inlet chamber. From inlet chamber, the sewage was passed through the screens having an

opening of 4mm and 2 mm respectively. Plastic container of size 35cmx25cmx15 cm used as screen chamber.

The screens were placed at 45 degree to the chamber. After screening, the effluent was collected in a collection

tank where air is bubbled by means of mini motors to avoid purification of effluent. Plastic container with

diameter 24 cm, depth 17 cm and slope height is 9 cm was used as collection tank. Two aeration chambers were

made up of glass material having size 35 cmx18 cmx10cm to receive the sewage water from collection chamber.

Two numbers of small aerators were used for providing oxygen to the bacteria’s for their speedy survival. A

plastic container of 24 cm diameter and 10 cm depth was used as secondary clarifier. Its slope height is 9 cm.

Used a plastic container of diameter 24 cm and depth 17 cm as a sump. Tube settler received the effluent from

sump made up of glass material had size 23 cmx18cmx30 cm, with sloping height of 9 cm. For further

purification of the effluent, the effluent should be passed through the filter made by glass of size

18cmx18cmx30 cm. The components of STPs were described below.

4.3 Methodology for STP model

Small scale model for STP s were developed using glass and plastic containers as per obtained

designed value. The method behind the small scale STP model is based on the extended aeration activated

sludge process. About 2.5 L sewage waste water was collected from Jubilee Mission hospital, Thrissur. Sewage

water diluted and to made as 5L. Checked the parameters of diluted sewage water. A plastic container of 22 L

capacity is used as an inlet chamber. The main process carried out in the sewage treatment plant is the

wastewater generated from various sections is first passed through screen chamber for removing large particles.

After screening, the effluent is collected in a collection tank where air is bubbled by means of mini motor

instead of blower through pipe grid to avoid purification of effluent. From the collection tank, the wastewater is

pumped at a suitable rate to the aeration tank and subjected to activated sludge process. Oxygen is supplied by

means of small aerators. An MLSS concentration of 4000mg/L is to be maintained in the aeration tank for

enough bacterial growth. Nutrients in the form of cow dung added for perfect biosynthesis. The overflow from

the aeration tank is sent to the hopper bottom settling tank where the sludge settles and clear liquid overflows.

Excess sludge is taken to the filter press in hospitals. In the intermediate sump, the combined effluent is mixed

thoroughly by mini motors instead of flash mixer where adequate dosage of lime and reagent are added.

Coagulation of residual suspended solids and dissolved organics takes place. The precipitated slurry is then

send to the tube settler where the sludge is settled and clear liquid is allowed to overflow. A mild dosage of

hypochlorite is added to the tube settler for disinfection. From tube settler, the raw sewage water sent to sand

filter for final polishing. Checked the current status of effluent which is obtained after the treatment from small

scale STP model. The treated water is discharged in to land for irrigation purposes and balance to public drain.

5. Results and Discussions 5.1 Environmental impact assessment

As the part of the project, conducted an impact survey. The survey was carried out school and houses

which are located near to STP. From impact survey, understood the impact of the present STP. Majority of

peoples problem was the smell generated from the STP at the time of cleaning. Which will badly affect the

school. The suggestion to the school authority was the cleaning should do after the school time. Night time is the

best time for the cleaning of the STP. This will also help to reduce the smell . From this impact survey can

concluded that smell is the only impact due to STP , so the current STP would be safe while changing the

cleaning time.

Same result is been observed when testing the water samples from a nearby bore well, well for house, well for

school which are 10 m, 30 m and 2 m away respectively. The test results are within the standards of IS :

10500,1991. So the current STP is safe.

5.2 Size of designed STP

The sewage treatment plants for Jubilee mission hospital was designed as per extended aeration

activated sludge process. The size of the screen chamber obtained as 2.5m×1m×1m. Screen chamber is used to

prevent the entry of solid particles/ articles above a certain size; such as plastic cups, paper dishes, polythene

bags, condoms and sanitary napkins into the STP. Size of the grit chamber, diameter and depth of collection

tank, size of aeration tank, clarifier and tube settler were tabulated in table 6.3.1. Grit chambers are nothing but

like sedimentation tanks, designed to separate the intended heavier organic materials. The main function of the

aeration tank is to maintain a high population level of microbes.

The main function of secondary clarifier is, allow settling of biomass solids in the mixed liquor (biomass slurry)

coming out of the aeration tank, to thicken the settled biomass, and to produce clear supernatant water.

6. Conclusions The project is intended to design a of STP to treat the sewage water from Jubilee mission hospital

Thrissur. It is based on extended aeration activated sludge process. When considering the population inflation

and future developments, to hospital, the capacity of current STP is insufficient. (800 cum/day). So, STP which

can be handles the future sewage requirement of hospital to be design for 30 years. The existing STP having

lower capacity, i.e. 800 cum/day can be replaced by the STP having 1700 cum/day. The available space for the

construction is limited, hence it is designed as two storied structure. The designed STP was estimated using long

wall short wall method. The total construction cost is approximately 73 lakhs. A small model for STP was also

developed as per the designed values to check its working and it was satisfactory. The sewage effluent was

treated by this model and treated water is tested and found that the water quality parameters within the limit of

CPCB for irrigation purpose.
