Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan Niwaran Trust
Executive Summary
1. Introduction of the Project/ Background Information
The Common effluent treatment plant (CETP) which is operated by Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan
Niwaran Trust (BJPNT) was initially operated by RIICO Ltd. It worked as Effluent Disposal
System (EDS) and in the due course of time was modified to the present condition of CETP. This
CETP was installed to treat industrial effluent of RIICO Ind. Area Bhiwadi but presently this
CETP is treating industrial waste water along with domestic waste water of some villages located
in Industrial area as there is no separate conveyance system for these different types of waste
water.
The CETP which was assumed to receive a maximum of 09 MLD of waste water is now
receiving an average of 11 MLD. This quantum jump in the quantity is the result of rapid
industrialization and addition of domestic waste water. The total waste water discharged from
RIICO I/A. Bhiwadi is being treated and pumped to the final destination by CETP Bhiwadi
which is being operated by M/s. Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan Niwaran Trust (BJPNT) and the cost for
treatment is finally born by the Industrial units.
The CETP is located 0.16 km from Sohna Road and 0.35 km from Bhiwadi Bus Stand away
from the project site.

3.3 Details of alternate sites
The up-gradation of existing 6 MLD to 9 MLD CETP taking place within the existing plant
boundary therefore no alternate site is selected.
Existing Process Description:
Effluents will be screened before being fed into the downstream treatment units. After primary
treatment the wastewater will be taken into the parallel SBR basins for biological degradation of
organics. The following treatment steps shall be used:
Treatment Steps:
1. Primary Units
Mechanical Fine bar screen
Grit removal
Free Oil Removal
Equalization tank
Pharshall flume
2. Biological Treatment
Sequential batch reactor
3. Sludge Handling and Dewatering
Primary Treatment Units
Screens
The effluents will be screened to remove floating particles, rags, leaves, bags and large
suspended particles using coarse 20 mm manual screens.
Grit removal mechanism

Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan Niwaran Trust
Inorganic particles like sand and silt will be removed in Grit removal tanks. The Grit removal
tank is equipped with a raking mechanism to separate the settled particles. These fines will be
washed in an organic wash chamber and disposed off suitably using a conveyor belt system. 75 –
80% of all silt particles larger than 150 micron will be removed here, to ensure that they do not
accumulate in any of the downstream units, pipes and channels.
Free Oil Removal
Free oil removal shall be carried out in oil removal tank. The oil removal tank has been designed
for suitable detention time, thus allowing the free oil to float to the surface. The oil thus collected
shall be removed from the top using slotted pipe type oil removal mechanism and will be
disposed off. The clear water will under the baffle in to the outlet chamber from where it will
gravitate to downstream units.
Flow Measurement
The effluents will be then passed through Parshall Flume to measure the incoming flow to the
CETP.
Equalization
After flow measurement, the effluents will be then collected into equalization tank made up of
two compartments, each with holding capacity of 2 hrs and equipped with coarse bubble grid and
blower assembly. Here, the collected effluents will be mixed thoroughly to ensure uniform flow
and characteristics to the downstream units. The equalized effluents will be then pumped to
downstream Sludge Blanket Clarifier for primary clarification.
Primary Clarification in Sludge Blanket Clarifier
Equalized Effluents will be than pumped into Sludge Blanket Clarifier for removal of suspended
solids, which also reduces the organic loads associated to suspended impurities. The Sludge
Blanket Clarifier unit has an inbuilt flash mixer (draft tube) and flocculator and does not require
additional units. Inside a high re circulation rate of settled solids is maintained. This seeds the
incoming effluent and reduces the reaction time for floc formation. Further, as the concentration
of suspended solids is very high in the inner flocculator tube, any fluctuations in the feed quality
with respect to suspended solids does not deteriorate the performance of Sludge Blanket
Clarifier. This high re circulation rate of settled solids provide higher floc concentration for this
process to occur. Also, sludge is thickened to a high concentration as a result of which 3 – 4%

consistency sludge is withdrawn from the Sludge Blanket Clarifier under flow. This prevents the
need of any further thickening unit and the sludge can be directly taken to the sludge dewatering
unit. The above process also allows the Sludge Blanket Clarifier to be more compact and
consume 10-15% lower chemicals as compared to conventional clarifiers/Clariflocculator.
Biological Treatment Units Comprising Cyclic Activated Sludge Process
Incoming flow to SBR basin is from the inlet work. Influent is routed to pre-reacted chamber of
SBR. Under normal conditions basin receive flow throughout the cycle. At the opposite end of
basin, effluent is removed through decanters discharging via an internal collector pipe. Aeration
is provided via fine bubble membrane diffusers on the floor of the SBR basin.
SBR basin is equipped with the following.
Decanter Actuator
Surplus activated sludge (SAS) pump
Air inlet valve
Ultrasonic level transmitter
High level float switch
Dissolved oxygen transmitter
Additionally the following common equipment is provided:
3 numbers of aeration blowers
SBR Cycles
The SBR cycle for SBR basin comprises a react phase, a settle phase and a decant phase. The
SBR basin operates in a phased sequence.

1. Desert soil: Desert soil area is occupied by alluvium and windblown sand, yellowish brown,
sandy to sandy loam, loose, structure less, well drained with high permeability and lies in
northern, western and central part of the district.
2. Sand dunes: These are non-calcareous soil, sandy to loamy sand, loose, structure less and well
drained. It lies in northern, western and central part of the district.
3. Red desertic soil: These are pale brown to reddish brown soils, structure less, loose, and well
drained. Texture varies from sandy loam to sandy clay loam and lies in eastern and south eastern
part of the district.
4. Saline soil of depressions: This type of soil found in salt lakes. They are dark grey to pale
brown, heavy soils with water table very near to the surface and are distinctly saline.
5. Lithosols & Regosols of hills: This type of soil found in isolated hills as lithoslopes. These
soils are shallow with gravels very near to the surface, high textured, fairly drained, reddish
brown in color and lies in south eastern part of the district.
4.4 Climate data from secondary sources
The district Barmer experiences arid type of climate. Mean annual rainfall (1971-2005) of the
district is 281.8 mm whereas normal rainfall (1 901-1 971) is lower than average rainfall and
placed at 277.5 mm. Almost 90% of the total annual rainfall is received during the southwest
monsoon, which enters the district in the first week of July and withdraws in the mid of
September. As the district lies in the desert area, extreme of heat in summer and cold in winter is
the characteristic of the desert. Both day and night temperature increases gradually and reaches
their maximum values in May and June. The temperature varies from 48 degree in summer to 2
degree in winter. Atmosphere is generally dry except during the monsoon period. The humidity
is highest in August with mean daily relative humidity is 43%. The annual maximum potential
evapotranspiration in the district is 1850 mm and it is highest (260 mm) in the month of May and
lowest (77 mm) in the month of December.

4.5 Social Infrastructure available
Socioeconomic environment will not be affected due to no influx of outside people as the
number of workers will be only 100 and local people will be selected for most of the posts. In
addition, large number of secondary job opportunities will be created due to installation of
CETP. Socioeconomic conditions of the local people will be improved. There will be
improvement in the infrastructural facilities. Aesthetic and hygienic environment will be created
which will be helpful in maintaining good public health with reduction in water borne diseases in
the surrounding environment.
Other benefits will be further growth in industrial development, and improvement in
occupational health & skills and improvement in sanitation. The analysis by matrix
representation indicates that the overall impact is beneficial.
5.0 Proposed Infrastructure
5.1 Industrial area (processing area)
Being an existing CETP, adequate infrastructural facilities are already
available. Modernization unit will make use of the existing facilities for land,
storage of raw material and handling, additional water & power demand, and
use of road and rail network for transportation of raw materials and finished
products.
5.2 Green Belt
Tree Plantation is one of the effective remedial measures of control the air
pollution and noise pollution. It is also causes aesthetic climatologically
improvement of the area as well as sustain and supports the biosphere. It is an
established fact that trees and vegetation act as a vast natural sink for the
gaseous as well as particulate air pollutants due to enormous surface area of
leaves. It is also helps to attenuate the ambient noise level.
In green belt area about 200 trees per acre of land is recommended to give a
thick green cover around the CETP (about total 600 plantation).
BJPNT is planning to develop green belt around the CETP premises.
