EV4005 Septage and Onsite Wastewater Treatment Technologies Syllabus:

EV4005 Septage and Onsite Wastewater Treatment Technologies Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

 To understand on the principles and process designs aspects of onsite sanitation and decentralized wastewater management systems.
 To gain competency in the process employed in sludge and septate management systems and the components comprising such systems, leading to the selection of specific process.

UNIT I URBANIZATION AND SANITATION

Sanitation Infrastructure in Urban India – Emerging Recognition of Faecal Sludge and Septage Management -Sanitation Service Chain -Faecal Sludge and Septage -Need for Faecal Sludge and Septage Management -Septage Management and Sewerage Systems -Components of Sanitation Value Chain- Approach to Septage Management in Cities

UNIT II DESLUDGING AND CONVEYANCE OF SEPTAGE

Planning for Emptying Services – Current Status of Emptying Services -Need for Periodic Cleaning of Septic Tanks – Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act Technologies for Desludging – Parameters for Assessing Conveyance Options – Demand Based Desludging – Schedule Based Desludging – Private Sector Participation.

UNIT III SEWAGE TREATMENT

Unit Operations and Processes – Selection of treatment processes — Onsite sanitation – Septic tank- Grey water harvesting- Decentralized sewage treatment – Design of septic tank with depression pit – DEWATS, Intermittent sand filters – Anaerobic filters – Waste stabilization ponds – Design and operation.

UNIT IV SLUDGE STABILIZATION

Objectives-Aerobic and Anaerobic Sludge digestion processes – Types of anaerobic digesters – design of Low rate and High rate digesters – Two stage digester-Aerobic digestion- Pure oxygen and thermopilic aerobic digestion – Chemical and Thermal stabilization process.

UNIT V REUSE AND LAND APPLICATION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE

Introduction- beneficial use-requirements and associated risks-handling and management-storage – operation aspects of transport and application of biosolids application land- Lagooning- Landfillingland farming-Composting-windrow composting -Vermicomposting -Laws and regulations on sludge management.
