Some rules must be established to safeguard the environment in order to battle the threat of rising pollution. The solid sludge that results from the treatment of sewage water poses a serious threat to environmental life, as well as human health.
For sewage treatment plants to discharge water into rivers and other streams, the environment ministry occasionally sets forth special rules and parameters, which needs to be determined.
What are the Water quality parameters of sewage?
For a sewage treatment plant, four factors need to be taken into account. These are listed below:
1.pH value
It is employed to measure the water's level of acidity. The station determines the requirements for pH Value between 6.5 and 8.5. These apply uniformly over the entire nation.
2. Biochemical Oxygen demand (BOD)
Except for Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, the Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Jammu & Kashmir, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, and Lakshadweep, the standards for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) have been determined to exceed 20. Standards are set at no more than 30 in the categories other than those listed above.
3. Total suspended solids (TSS)
For metro regions and state capitals with the exception of Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, the Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Jammu & Kashmir, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, and Lakshadweep, the criteria for total suspended solids (TSS) are fewer than 50. Standards are set at less than 100 for the other categories.
4. Fecal Coliform (FC)
It is believed to be a dangerous strain of E bacterium. Warm-blooded animals' intestines contain it. The benchmark has been set at fewer than 1000, for sewage treatment plants across the nation equate to MPN/100ml. These are applicable across the board.
Tests to evaluate the sewage's water quality parameters
Tests can gauge the wastewater's physical, chemical, and biological qualities. Thermodynamic properties include solids and temperature. pH value, dissolved oxygen levels, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen, phosphorus, and chlorine are examples of chemical properties. Aquatic toxicity tests are used to identify biological features.
A waste contaminant's relative ability to deplete oxygen is measured by the BOD and COD tests. Both have been widely used as indicators of the impact of pollution. Any oxidizable substance found in an aerobic natural waterway or industrial effluent, will be oxidized by a combination of chemical and biological reactions. As a result, the amount of oxygen in the water will decline.
Water quality specifications
Depending on the anticipated usage of the water, different levels of water quality are required. Water unfit for one application may be perfectly adequate for another, and water may be judged acceptable for a particular use, if water of superior quality is not accessible, according to studies.
The water quality standards established by the governing body and serving as a representation of the legal requirements, should be in agreement with the requirements for water quality.
Generally speaking, there are three different sorts of standards: in-stream, potable water, and wastewater discharge. Each type has specific requirements and is measured using the same techniques.
