 The pilot scale disinfection units located at two different UASBR based STPs have been selected for this study. One of these pilot plants has been constructed after 27 MLD UASBR based STP, Noida (Uttar Pradesh, India) and is based on chlorination using calcium hypochlorite (either slurry form or liquid high test hypochlorite, HTH) with a capacity of 2 million liter per day (MLD). The other 1 MLD DHS-biotower pilot plant, developed by Prof. H. Harada (Machdar et al., 1997), is based on fixed film aerobic process and has been constructed after 40 MLD UASBR based STP, Karnal (Haryana, India). These STPs, based on UASBR technology, consists of preliminary treatment (Screen and Grit Chamber), UASBR and final polishing pond (Fig. 1). A schematic diagram of the pilot plants at Noida and Karnal is presented in Fig. 2 and 3 respectively. The chlorination unit of 2 MLD consists of a sump, mixing unit and baffled contact chamber (3m x 7m) and a specific dose of chlorine was mixed with a separate pipe. The 1 MLD DHS-biotower based on fixed film aerobic process consists of a sump and reactor having plastic rectangular sheets onto which triangular prism polyurethane foams were tiled. Raw sewage after UASBR treatment was supplied to the chlorination unit and DHS-biotower
In case of chlorination unit, initially the bleaching powder was used as a disinfectant from day 1 to day 48 and later on it was found that there was no residual chlorine in the bleaching powder, so the bleaching powder was replaced with calcium hypochlorite as disinfectant after 48th day. The dose of disinfectant was 5 mgl-1 from day 1 to day 16 and was increased to 20 mgl-1 from day 20. The contact time for the reaction between wastewater and disinfectant was 30 min throughout the study.
 Results and Discussion Reduction of fecal coliform: To achieve good disinfection, the contact time and dose are extremely important. A longer contact time is required for complete disinfection to occur. As per Lindsay (2004), a contact time of 30 minutes is a minimum, and if the dose remains constant, the contact time may necessitated to be increased at low temperatures or higher pH to obtain the same level of disinfection. Typical chlorine doses for municipal wastewater disinfection are about 5-20 mgl-1 with a contact time of 30 to 60 min (Lazarova et al., 1999). During this study, 5 and 20 mgl-1 of disinfectant doses for a fixed contact time of 30 min was applied. It was observed that a dose of 20 mgl-1 was very effective for the reduction in indicator microorganism (fecal coliforms). Initially when a dose of 5 mgl-1 was used, the reduction in fecal coliforms count was less than 90%. It may be attributed to the fact that the minimum dose required for the killing of microorganism was not sufficient as there was high chlorine demand due to the presence of high concentration of organic matter and suspended solids in the UASBR effluent. The average fecal coliforms count was reduced from 3.58 x 105 (± 1.02 x 105 ) MPN/ 100ml to nil at a dose of 20 mgl-1 and 30 min contact time (Fig. 4a). Thus the results shows that almost 100% removal of fecal coliforms has been observed after chlorination; however at certain days i.e., from day 7 to day 14 and from day 44 to day 53 (Fig. 4a), the number of fecal coliforms present in the wastewater effluent after disinfection was increased. It could be explained on the basis of type of chemical used for the chlorination. During this period, bleaching powder was used. Later on it was found that the chemical used at the plant does not have any residual chlorine. Chlorination was switched to the fortified brand of the calcium hypochlorite, high test hypochlorite (HTH). It indicated that chlorination was very effective in the removal of fecal coliforms if the regular operation and maintenance (O and M) is ensured.

PHILOSOPHY BEHIND ENVO PROJECTS

PHILOSOPHY BEHIND ENVO PROJECTS

Saleem Asraf Syed Imdaadullah, Founder, Syed Envo Protect (I) Pvt Ltd in the year 1994 & ENVO PROJECTS in the year 2001https://yourstory.com/2009/07/saleem-asraf-syed-imdaadullah-founder-syed-envo-protect-i-pvt-ltd/

ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO FOLLOW ALL THE THINGS THAT OUR PROPHET (Peace be upon him PBUH) HAD DONE, HE IS MODEL FOR ALL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.

When I was 10-12 yrs old, i heard Maulana Madani (Senior) RA say that if somebody follows just one sunnah steadfastly throughout his life thats sufficient for him. And pray for me that I can do something for the betterment of this world before I die.... Otherwise there is no meaning of my existence in this world. Doctors are making peoples health better...engineers are making living conditions better.... Alims are making spiritual lives better.

The philosophy behind my work in environmental engineering

NOW HAVE I DONE SOMETHING OR STILL DONT HAVE ANY GOAL IN LIFE.no, I have found in Quran majeed myself that the world is a gift from Allah and nobody has the right to destroy it… .So we don't have any right in making our rivers into drain (read yamuna river,bhorolu river), polluting our air with our car exhaust, littering the greens with solid waste…. I am trying my best in this regard …after forming ENVO.

PREAMBLE OF ENVO

Nature is a gift to us . No individual or organisation has the right dto utilise its resources in such a way that damage or inconvenience is caused  to  people of society . we all have a social responsibility to protect and preserve a clean and green environment. The goale of profit maximisation and customer satisfaction should be surbordinate to the social need and responsibilities. The present concern has been brought about by the health of humans, living being, tree , structures, monuments and all other things.It was repeatedly mentioned in the Qur'an: Forbidding from spoiling the earth after Allah (Exalted and Almighty) has created it suitable and well prepared for the successive human generations. It announced that Allah does not like spoiling or those who spoil in life, this includes spoiling environment, polluting it or being aggressive with it. Also it is forbidden to abuse it in any way that would make it deviate from the purpose of Allah created it for. This would be like showing ingratitude to Allah, that would cause vengeance from Allah, and becomes like a warning to those who perpetrated this, that severe penalty will almost come upon them as what happened before to the `Aad and the Thamud and those who came after them.
"Who did transgress beyond bounds in the land (in the disobedience of Allah) and made therein much mischief. So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. Surely your Lord is Ever-Watchful." (89:11-14) Islam urges its followers to have great concern for everything created by Allah, for it is part and parcel of "submission to Allah" to show reverence to all what the Almighty Allah created.

We cant be all rounder like our Prophet (PBUH),but atleast we can excel in one field and serve humnanity as he did.

May Allah accepts my hard work and bestow his blessings on me and forgive me for the major and minor SINS I make in every steps

My own DREAM---"ENVO" : and to have its presence in every state of India. (Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

 My Passion: My work. of water treatment, to clean the world gifted by god of the mess humans created.  ( Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.)

There is still a lot to learn, I try to learn from everybody and atleast one new thing every day : Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish

The World Only Cares About What It Can Get from You.

Change your attitude towards life. Do not look for perfection and CONTROL in everything in life. I understood that my livelihood (RIZQ)  cant be  taken away by  anyone.  Put your  best  efforts in what you do and than leave the result to ALLAH. I have plan but Allahs plan is much much better than mine. I have firm belief in ALLAH.  

During this journey many people came and left me. I thank all of them for their contribution for my growth. They are destined to be with me for that particular period. This is Allah’s plan.

Always sleep with a clean heart. I know many of us get wronged throughout the day or have gotten wronged in the past. Forgive. Not only forgive, but forgive and forget. Dont even hold a grudge against that person in your heart. Keep your heart completely pure.Forgive brothers and sisters before you sleep each night. this is one of the practices of the greatest people ever to live and this is how we will reach those highest levels of spirituality.

Forgiveness is good for your own well being, its about giving yourself permission to let go of the painful past. Forgiveness is not something we do for that particular toxic person,it is something we do for ourselves so we can move on to a better future.We forgive,not because that toxic person deserves it,but because we deserve peace, for a pure heart.
Read quran ,Sura 24:22 , sura 2:263 , sura3:133-134  , sura7:199, sura 15:85, sura 45:14

Ending this article with a hadith
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stated:"Show mercy and you shall be shown mercy.Forgive others and you shall be forgiven by Allah."(Musnad Ahmad)

LOVE HUMANITY IRRESPECTIVE OF RELIGION, LOVE ANIMALS, TREES AND ALL OF GODS CREATIONS. IF YOU CAN NOT LOVE AND ADMIRE GODS CREATION, HOW CAN YOU THINK ABOUT ADMIRING THE GREATNESS OF GOD.

Waste water Treatment of BGP containing TAR

Tar Removal through Physical Processes Physical processes will continue to play a very important role for the successful commercial implementation of gasification. They constitute the basic arm for removing most of the raw gasifier contaminants, including “tar.” “Tar” is removed mainly through wet or wet-dry scrubbing. Coalescers, demisters, and cold filtration are also necessary supplements. These well-known commercial methods are easily designed and applied, depending on the specific needs of any gasification process. The main problem arising from “tar” scrubbing is that condensed “tar” components are merely transferred into another phase (water or solids such as scrubbing lime), which then has to be disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner. The problems associated with the management of these wastewater or solid residues are summarized as follows: • “Tar” and “tar”-contaminated solid-waste streams are considered as a special waste; consequently, their disposal is usually cumbersome and costly. • “Tar”-bearing wastewater is usually a bi-phasic mixture requiring various steps of treatment before final disposal. Water insoluble “tar” skimming • Most water-soluble “tar” components are refractory to the usual biological wastewater treatments. The applied methods for “tar” and “tar”-containing waste streams include solid waste stabilization and landfilling, organic phase skimming off the bi-phasic wastewater-free surface, wastewater incineration, wet oxidation, adsorption on activated carbon, and final biological treatment. Wastewater contaminants include dissolved organics, inorganic acids, NH , and metals. 3 Typical values of COD, BOD, and phenols for wastewater from fixed-bed gasifiers are given in Hasler et al. (1997). The new BIOSYN design proposes a continuous skimming-off of insoluble “tar” from the surface of the wastewater. tar-containing wastewater was treated using lime and alum for the removal of in-organics, followed by adsorption on powdered activated carbon (PAC) for the removal of organics. At optimum concentrations, both lime and alum individually proved to be capable of removing color, total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS), but in both cases, pH adjustment had to be carried out after treatment. The combination of lime and alum at the dose ratio of 0.8:0.8 g/L was found to be optimum for the removal of inorganics. The removal efficiency achieved at optimum concentrations were 78.6, 62.0, 62.5 and 52.8% for color, alkalinity, TSS and TDS, respectively. Coagulation-precipitation followed by adsorption on PAC resulted in 92.3% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and 100% phenol removal at equilibrium. This technology may prove to be one of the fastest and most techno-economically feasible methods for the treatment of tar-containing wastewater generated from BGPs. biomass gasification plant.

The specific technical objectives of this study are: 1. Identify the optimum individual doses of lime and alum (coagulant) required to achieve the best treatment efficiency. 2. Identify the optimum and minimum dose of the coagulant-combination (lime and alum) required to achieve good treatment efficiency without having to conduct final pH adjustment. 3. Determine the efficiency of the coagulationflocculation process at optimum coagulant dosage followed by adsorption on powdered activated carbon (PAC). The iodine value of PAC was 1050 mg/g. The optimum dose of lime was found to be 0.8 g/L, with maximum removal efficiency for color, TSS and TDS, and minimum amount of sludge generation. The optimum dose of alum was observed to be 0.8 g/L with maximum TSS, TDS and minimum amount of sludge generation. However, the optimum dose of alum for maximum color removal was found to be 1.0 g/L. Lime was found to remove ammonia more efficiently than alum. In the lime-alum combination, lime:alum dose of 0.8:0.8 g/L was found to demonstrate maximum removal of TSS, TDS, alkalinity, and minimum amount of sludge generation. However, the lime:alum dose of 0.9:1.0 g/L provided maximum removal of color and ammonia. The coagulation-flocculation process was found to be more efficient for the removal of color, TDS, TSS and alkalinity than for the removal of COD and phenol.

what is a wastewater treatability study and how does it work?

 what is a wastewater treatability study and how does it work?

A wastewater treatability study is a study or a test that tells us if the wastewater can be treated and how it needs to be treated. If the study is done correctly, it will clearly identify the problem you’re seeing in your wastewater stream, helping ensure the proper treatment solutions are considered.

Let’s just say, for example, that a plant processes metals—maybe a metal plating facility like a chrome plater or zinc plater—and all of the sudden, they realize residual metals are present in their wastewater, which are prohibited to discharge in just about any receiving watershed or municipality.

The company performing the study would start by taking a sample of their wastewater, analyzing it (called a characterization study) so they can identify what they think is the problem through analytical means.

Once the treatability study is complete and the problem is identified, sometimes a plant will opt to test different solutions by initially using some conventional technologies to remove the contaminants from the solution.

Once they establish that they can removed the contaminants successfully, they will then scale up the scope of the technology to sufficiently handle the full scale of the process. 

keep in mind that there is usually more than one treatment available for your problem. A reputable company will perform the treatability study and recommend different solution for you.

OPERATION MANUAL FOR 10 KLD ETP CHEMICAL DOSE OF ALUM

OPERATION MANUAL FOR 10 KLD ETP

OPERATION INSTRUCTION :

1.         The total quantity of waste water from kitchen for which the ETP is designed is 10,000 liter per day. The unit functions 8 hours in a day .There is no flow at day.The ETP is designed for continuous flow treatment of effluent at a average flow rate of 1250 liter per hour. The air blower will have to be run continuously for mixing of chemicals in reaction tank and flocculation tanks.

2.         Allow all the effluent of the day generated to enter the underground collection tank. Collected effluent is planned to be pumped continuously for eight hours at a average flow rate of 1250 liter per hour . The plant and machinery cant take more than this flow.

.

CHEMICAL DOSING  :

1.   Lime, add 20 Kg per day to maintain pH at 10 at collection tank. Check pH at Collection tank after adding lime manually. pH maintaining is extremely important or alum will not work properly. Use it up in one day.

2.    Alum, add 15 Kg in the auto doser tank of the reaction tank in 100 liter of water and use it up in one day. pH will come down to 8 after addition of alum.

3.   PAC, add 100 gm in the auto doser tank in the flocculation tank and use it up in one day.

COMMON INSTRUCTION FOR ETP  :

1.   When the pumps are on, the blower must be on also for mixing the chemicals with water. Note down the time in log sheet.

2.   The Auto doser for alum in reaction tank should be on when pump is on. Note down the time in log sheet

3.   The Auto doser for PAC in flocculator should be always on continuously when pump is on. Note down the time in log sheet

4.   Fill the auto doser tank with fresh water and mix the estimated chemical in it for the day and set it at the desired dose. Note down the time and quantity in log sheet

5.   Preventive maintenance of pumps and blowers like oiling etc should be regularly done.

6.   Note down the pH of the inlet and outlet water and note it at log sheet.

7.   The waste sludge from tube settler is to be suitably disposed off to the sludge drying bed by opening the valve provided at the hopper bottom of the tube settler.

8.   Backwash the Sand filter and carbon filters after each 4 hours.

9.   Raw and treated effluent is to be analyzed periodically for pH, TSS, BOD and O&G. .

10.Skilled Operator will be required  to carry out all these instructions.

11.The operator will maintain a log book. And chemical stock registers.

12. The performance of the ETP is dependent on the proper skill of the operator and proper chemical dosing.

Polishing pond for Magur fish in ETP treated water.

Polishing pond for Magur fish in ETP treated water.

 Oxygen level in the tanks should exceed 3 mg/l. If the magur fish tanks are supplied with turbid water it is advisable to filter it with through a sand filter and to aerate the tanks at night for maintaining oxygen level by using an air blower The aeration grid should be one feet above the bottom of the tank so that mud can settle at the bottom..Magur requires mud. .

A tank containing such a fish group required approximately 5 liter/min water supply. Depth of fish tanks should be 0.5–0.75 m. Let us take water depth 0.75 meter.The freeboard of the tank should be 0.5 meter so that fish don’t jump out. So total depth of tank is 1.25 Meter. Volume of the tank should be 10,000 liter. Normally it should be square in size. So length and width of tank will be 4 Meter by 4 meter. 

For avoiding the direct contact between tank wall and fish it is better to cover the inner surface of tank with polyethylene sheet.

Inlet water should be sprayed in the tank from a perforated PVC tube throughout the length.

Outlet water will overflow from a overflow weir at the outlet side. The top of the overflow weir will be covered by net/mesh. The proper mesh size is 1.0–1.5 mm

Most efficient way of plankton maintenance is frequent manuring with small doses of poultry or cattle manure. In addition to plankton maintenance, frequent manuring maintains an active and effective bacterial population in pond water. It facilitates decomposition of metabolites hampering fish growth. Poultry (5–15 kg/bigha) or cattle (10–20 kg/bigha) manure is sufficient for frequent treatment of pond.

Daily brushing of wall and bottom of the tanks is essential. Moreover, when there is deterioration in water quality, 10–20 % fresh water replacement is suggested.

Lime is used for killing different living organisms remaining in muddy pools after dewatering of ponds.

IF MAGUR SURVIVES IN THE POLISHING TANK, IT MEANS THE ETP IS RUNNING PROPERLY.

TANK SIZE : 4 x 4 x 1.25 Meter. Water depth = 0.75 Meter. Free Board=0.5 M
