20 KLD (20,000 L/day) ASP sewage plant for apartments, hostels, small hotels or institutions. Compact layout with sludge return, PSF+ACF polishing and disinfection. Free site visit & jar test available.
| Parameter | Value / Assumption |
|---|---|
| Design daily flow (Qd) | 20,000 L/day (20 KLD) |
| Operating hours | 20 hours/day |
| Design hourly flow (Qh) | 1,000 L/hour |
| Influent pH | 6.5 – 7.5 |
| Influent BOD (design) | 300 mg/L |
| Influent COD | 900 mg/L |
| Influent TSS | 150 mg/L |
| Oil & Grease | 50 mg/L |
| Target effluent | BOD < 30 mg/L, TSS < 30 mg/L (after polishing) |
Hourly flow = 1,000 L/h. Volumes rounded to practical sizes.
| Unit | HRT / Note | Volume (L) | Volume (m³) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equalization Tank | 6 hours | 1,000 × 6 = 6,000 | 6.0 |
| Grit / O&G Chamber | 0.5–1 hour | ~1,000 | 1.0 |
| Aeration Tank (ASP) | 6 hours (MLSS 2000–3500 mg/L) | 1,000 × 6 = 6,000 | 6.0 |
| Secondary Clarifier | 2 hours | 1,000 × 2 = 2,000 | 2.0 |
| Clarified Water Tank (Buffer) | Buffer / PSF feed | ~600 | 0.6 |
| Polishing Filters (PSF + ACF) | Pressure vessels (sizes per flow) | – | – |
| Final Treated Water Tank | Reuse buffer | ~1,000 | 1.0 |
| Sludge holding / thickener | intermediate | ~1,000 | 1.0 |
| Total (approx) | ~17,600 L | ~17.6 m³ |
Tip: combine EQ + primary in one tank where space limited; use FRP/GRP modular tanks for rooftop installs.
Excess sludge → Sludge holding → Filter press / Drying bed → Disposal as per norms.
