What are techniques for sewage treatment in educational institutions?
As the human population grows, so does the use of water and the area of education. As a result, in order to protect the environment, health and future of the students, you must treat the sewage which the educational institution generates.
Since, it is essential for both the current and future generations, we apply various sewage management techniques.
Let’s understand about the techniques for sewage treatment in educational institutions!
Contaminants in sewage from educational institutions can be removed and recycled, using a variety of sewage treatment techniques. Generally, the four sewage treatment procedures are:

Process and Characteristics |
Physical Treatment |
· To get rid of solid wastes, several physical procedures are used, including sedimentation, skimming, and screening. · Heavy or insoluble particles can be separated using sedimentation. · Aeration, which involves circulating air (oxygen) through wastewater, is another efficient technique. · The physical treatment of sewage uses filtration to remove all containments. Most importantly, no chemicals are used in this process. |

Major pollutants in sewage of educational institutions
· Organic Compounds
The biochemical oxygen demand, often known as BOD, is used to estimate the amount of perishable or biodegradable organic compounds in wastewater. It is one of the most important factors in the operation and layout of sewage control techniques.
· Suspended Solids
Sewage also needs to contain suspended particles. The total amount of suspended particles present in the sewage, determines how much sludge is produced in a sewage treatment facility. Domestic wastewater has less suspended particles than storm and industrial sewage.
· Nutrients
Sewage primarily contains chemical components like nitrogen and phosphorus, which are essential nutrients for growth. The growth of algae may be accelerated if these substances are overly abundant in nearby bodies of water, such as lakes. This might hasten the water bodies' normal aging process.
· Microbes
Additionally, a variety of bacteria from human intestinal tracts are also present in sewage. Coliform bacteria are prevalent in large numbers. Today's sewage pollution has been found to have an elevated coliform count.
These contaminants are taken out of the sewage by sewage treatment techniques, so that it can be recycled.
Conclusion
Sewage treatment refers to a procedure that can treat sewage. Physical, biological, chemical, and sludge water treatment are the four main techniques, used to treat sewage.
By employing these techniques, sewage in educational institutions is purified of all sewage components, and transformed into treated water that is secure for use by humans as well as the environment.
