    UASB Pilot Plant for Tannery Waste Water at Kanpur

Description of the Project:

 

Within the Indo-Dutch Environmental & Sanitary Engineering Project, under the Ganga Action Plan, another sewage treatment plant based on UASB technology was designed & constructed after the successful performance and results of 5 MLD UASB STP at Jajmau, Kanpur, a full scale 36 MLD wastewater treatment plant was designed & constructed for mixed wastewater (tannery effluents & domestic).

 

This plant is receiving flow from tanneries & residential area of Jajmau. The tannery wastewater stream is 9 MLD whereas domestic flow is 27 MLD. Initially the tannery wastewater is collected in the equalisation tank and then mixed with domestic wastewater in the mixing tank. There are two UASB reactors each with a capacity of 1800 m3. After UASB reactors, the effluent is further treated in post-treatment unit of the plant.

 

The biogas produced is being utilised for power generation by installing pure gas engines. The H2S content in the biogas is removed in the H2S scrubbers before it enters the engines.

 

Another plant of 14 MLD capacity (14,000 m3/d) for a population of 1.25 lakhs was designed and constructed at Mirzapur. Mirzapur is a medium size town of Uttar Pradesh which is famous for carpet & brassware cottage industries.

 

The sewage generated from the town is being pumped & conveyed to the inlet chamber of the STP. The STP is based on UASB technology. There are two UASB reactors each with a capacity of 700 m3. In the UASB reactors the reduction in COD upto 80% takes place. After UASB reactors, the treated effluent enters the polishing pond for further removal of pollution load in order to meet the GAP discharge standards. The biogas generated is being converted into electrical energy by installing dual fuel engines. The electricity requirements of the plant is met by in-house power generation.
