300 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant – ASP Technology | RRR ENVIRO SYSTEMS

300 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant — ASP (Activated Sludge Process)

Robust 300 KLD ASP design for residential townships, industries, institutions and municipal applications. Turnkey supply, civil, installation, commissioning & AMC by RRR ENVIRO SYSTEMS.

Overview

This 300 KLD (300 m³/day) Activated Sludge Plant is engineered for continuous duty with focus on regulatory compliance (TNPCB / CPCB), low sludge yield and stable performance under variable loading. Default design assumptions used below: 20 operating hours/day, influent BOD₅ = 250 mg/L. Final guarantees provided after site survey & influent lab report.

Process Flow — Text Diagram

Inlet Sewage → Bar Screen → Grit & Oil-Grease Trap → Collection / Equalization Tank (with mixer) → Primary (Optional) → ASP Aeration Tank (diffused aeration) → Secondary Clarifier (settling & RAS) → Tertiary Polishing (PSF / ACF / UF) → Disinfection (UV / Hypochlorite) → Treated Water Tank → Reuse / Discharge (per TNPCB/CPCB). Sludge → Sludge Sump → Thickening → Dewatering (mechanical/drying beds) → Disposal.

Design Basis & Digit-by-Digit Calculations

Given / Assumed:
  • Design flow Qday = 300 m³/day
  • Operating hours = 20 hr/day (used for hourly conversions)
  • Hourly flow Qhr = 300 ÷ 20 = 15.00 m³/hr (15,000 LPH)
  • Design HRT (aeration) chosen = 6 hours (typical range 4–8 h for ASP)
  • Design MLSS = 3,000 mg/L (3.0 kg/m³) (typical)
  • Surface Overflow Rate (clarifier) = 30 m³/m²·day (typical)

1) Hourly Flow

Qhr = 300 ÷ 20 = 15.00 m³/hr = 15,000 LPH.
Q_day = 300 m³/day → Q_hr = 300 ÷ 20 = 15.00 m³/hr → 15,000 LPH

2) Aeration Tank Volume (HRT method)

Vaer = Qhr × HRT = 15.00 × 6 = 90.0 m³ (90,000 L). Include 15% freeboard → physical tank ≈ 103.5 m³.
V_aer = 15.00 × 6 = 90.0 m³ V_physical ≈ 90.0 × 1.15 = 103.5 m³

3) MLSS Mass

MLSS mass = MLSS × V = 3.0 kg/m³ × 90.0 m³ = 270 kg suspended solids in aeration tank (active biomass mass).
MLSS mass = 3.0 × 90.0 = 270 kg

4) Secondary Clarifier (SOR)

Area A = Q_day ÷ SOR = 300 ÷ 30 = 10.0 m² surface area required.
Circular clarifier diameter d = √(4A/π) = √(40/3.1416) ≈ 3.57 m → choose practical diameter 4.0 m (allow weir and maintenance). Depth and hopper shape designed per standards.
A = 300 ÷ 30 = 10.0 m² d ≈ sqrt(4×10 ÷ π) ≈ 3.57 m → choose ~4.0 m

5) BOD Load & Oxygen Requirement

Assume influent BOD₅ = 250 mg/L → daily BOD load = 300 × 250 ÷ 1000 = 75 kg BOD/day.
Oxygen demand (1.4 kg O₂/kg BOD removed) → O₂ ≈ 75 × 1.4 = 105 kg O₂/day.
Conservative blower sizing using 1.2 kg O₂/kW → blower power ≈ 105 ÷ 1.2 = 87.5 kW. Recommend multiple blowers (e.g., 3 × 30 kW duty/standby) and VFD control — final blower selection after OTR (oxygen transfer rate) and site-temperature corrections.
BOD_load = 300×250/1000 = 75 kg/day O2_req = 75×1.4 = 105 kg/day Blower_kW ≈ 105 ÷ 1.2 = 87.5 kW (use multiple units with redundancy)

Note: this is a conservative estimate. Real blower sizing should use diffuser OTR data, depth, temperature and DO setpoint — we will finalize after site details.

6) Sludge Generation (Estimate)

Sludge yield ~0.5 kg DS/kg BOD removed → dry solids/day ≈ 75 × 0.5 = 37.5 kg DS/day.
At 3% cake solids: wet sludge ≈ 37.5 ÷ 0.03 ≈ 1,250 L/day (1.25 m³/day). Provide sludge sump, thickening and dewatering (centrifuge / filter press or drying beds) sized accordingly.
Dry solids/day = 75 × 0.5 = 37.5 kg/day Wet sludge ≈ 37.5 ÷ 0.03 ≈ 1250 L/day (at 3% solids)

Regulatory Compliance — TNPCB / CPCB

Design will meet applicable TNPCB / CPCB discharge standards. Typical compliance measures included in scope:

  • Design to meet BOD, COD, TSS, Oil & Grease, and Faecal Coliform / E. coli limits as per notified standards (final limits depend on receiving body and reuse purpose).
  • Effluent monitoring points and sampling ports as per regulatory requirements.
  • Provision for treated effluent quality certificates, consent documentation support and statutory test assistance (upon request).
  • Provision for tertiary polishing and disinfection where reuse or stricter discharge limits are required.

We assist with permit paperwork and technical reports required for CPCB/TNPCB approvals (scope can be included in proposal).

Chemical Dosing & Utilities

  • Chlorine / Sodium Hypochlorite: Final disinfection dosing and break-point chlorination (dosing skid + storage + dosing pumps).
  • Polymer (Flocculant): Sludge dewatering & thickening aid (dosed to sludge sump or thickener).
  • pH correction: Acid / Alkali dosing for process control (if required for neutralization).
  • Anti-foaming agent: For aeration tanks if foam occurs.
  • Coagulant (Alum / PAC): For tertiary polishing if needed for TSS/colour removal.
  • Brine / chemical safe storage area with bunding and ventilation.

Chemical quantities and dosing rates calculated after influent analysis. We provide dosing skid, pumps, and safe storage as part of supply on request.

Yes — we assist in preparing technical documents for TNPCB / CPCB applications and provide performance test certificates after commissioning.

Q4: What test data do you need to finalise design?

Please share influent lab report: BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, FOG, pH, temperature, and any industrial contaminants. We offer jar tests and on-site analysis for accurate guarantees.
