ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT AT RAJASTHAN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY CAMPUS KOTA

Abstract

A study has been conducted to carry out analysis and design of sewage treatment plant in Rajasthan Technical University (RTU) Campus Kota as a part of our final year project work. The steady increase of population in campus results in the increase of sewage generation and the existing capacity of sewage treatment plant in campus is insufficient. So it has been proposed to construct a new sewage treatment plant with sufficient capacity to treat the increased sewage for next 30 years. The RTU campus is situated on Rawatbhata Road, about 14 km from Kota railway station and 10 km from Kota bus stand. The lush green campus is at the bank of river Chambal in an area of more than 385 acres. The most of the campus area is covered with hard rocks. The study project deals with planning of sewer lines in campus and design of sewage treatment plant and its major components such as screening chamber, grit chamber, skimming tank, sedimentation tank, and sludge drying beds. It is recommended that the treated water may be supplied for gardening and the remaining sludge after treatment can be used as manure. The use of treated water will reduce the ground water use. By the execution of project the entire sewage of the campus can be treated effectively and efficiently for next 30 years.
