“STP 101: UNDERSTANDING THE BEST STP WORKING PRINCIPLES”
Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) are critical infrastructure in our attempts to properly manage wastewater and reduce its environmental impact. In this blog post, we will in-depth analysis into the STP Working Principles, deep into the intricate process that converts raw sewage into clean, safe water for disposal or reuse. THE CRUCIAL STEPS IN STP WORKING PRINCIPLES: 1. Preliminary Treatment: The sewage trip starts with preliminary treatment. Large debris, solids, and grit are removed from the wastewater at this stage. These undesirable components are thoroughly filtered out by bar screens and grit chambers, reducing damage to downstream equipment . 2. Primary Treatment: When the preliminary treatment is finished, the effluent goes into primary settling tanks. The velocity of the water in these tanks is lowered, allowing heavy materials to settle at the bottom as sludge. Simultaneously, lighter things such as oils and grease rise to the surface, generating scum. This prelimin...
