Completed Projects

A pilot project area comprising 40,000 connections in Bangalore City covering Service Station of Clive Line Reservoir, Johnson Market, Ulsoor ,High Grounds and Coles mark, is proposed to be implemented on a trial scheme to reduce the
existing leakages and also to bring into Bangalore through project Global experiences covering entire exercise. This would address twin parameters of conserving water and also enhance customer satisfaction (increasing water revenue) in the city.

Recycling Treatment Plants

   

Recycling Treatment Plants

Koramangala & Chellaghatta Valley

Vrishabhavathy Valley

Vrishabhavathy Valley
The Board has commissioned during may 2003 a 60 MLD T.T.Plant at an estimated cost of Rs.35 Crores. Funds required for implementing this project is arranged through KUIDFC/HUDCO under Megacity scheme and under the Indo french protocol.
Recycled water is proposed to be supplied to M/s Karnataka Power Corporation Limited and M/s Pulikeshi Power Corporation for their power generation plants to be located at Bidadi & Kumbalgod industrial areas repectively.

Plant Description

The existing Vrishabhavathy Valley waste water treatment plant can (located on Mysore Road), treat an average of 180 MLD (terminal capacity of more than 60 MLD) of sewerage.
Part of the treated flow is the sewage drained through Vrishabhavathy Valley. The sewage from KM Halli is also lifted and conveyed to the plant for final disposal.
Conventional Bio-filter process has been adopted for secondary treatment. Mechanical screens (coarse and fine), Detritor, Primary clarifiers, Bio-filters, Secondary clarifiers, Primary and Secondary sludge, Re-circulation pump house, Digestors and Drying beds are provided.
The plant is designed to produce an effluent having BOD of not more than 20 mg per litre and suspended solids not exceeding 30 mg per litre. The effluent is discharged into the V-Valley at RL794.00 and is in accordance with IS4764-1973 standards.

Vrishabhavathy valley Tertiary Treatment plant- water for non potable purposes.

Bangalore city has limited raw water sources to meet its ever growing population. City is almost completely depending on river Cauvery , located more than 100 kms., away from the city for its requirements. This involves an exorbitantly high energy costs for pumping of water. Recycling and reuse of wastewater becomes absolutely imperative. Extremely finite source of raw water prompted BWSSB to undertake a major step hitherto unseen in our country, towards recycling of wastewater on such a mega scale.
Of the two tertiary treatment plants(TTPs) in Bangalore one at Yelahanka and another at v.valley have been planned and executed by BWSSB, the 60 million litre per day (MLD) capacity plant at v.valley is 2nd in the row and biggiest in the country both in size and technology.
Tertiary Treatment Process
The V.Valley tertiary plant has been designed and constructed by M/s ONDEO Degremont , at a total cost of Rs.35 Crores. The project is funded under Indo-French protocol and with assistance from HUDCO. The secondary effulent converge from the existing 183 MLD capacity plant is being treated here to tertirary levels by using a combination of biological and physio-chemical treatment . the treatment chain in this plant consists of trickling filter, DENSADEG high rate clarifier , FLOPAC biological reactor and chlorine based disinfection.
The secondary treated sewage is fed into an aerobic attached growth trickling filter, which is the first stage of tertiary treatment. The wastewater flows through a plastic cross flow type media , where attached active biomass feed on organic pollutants. The downward flowing wastewater carries with it excess biomass, which develop as a result of bacterial activity. The output from the trickling filter is fed into the high rate clarifier DENSADEG unit and passes through a flash mixer before entering the clarification unit. The DENSADEG unit combines two facilities in a single tank-separation of floc from water using lamellar separators and counter current flow to separate water from sludge and thickening of sludge that settles at the bottom through a picket fence equipped scrapper . Clarified water from DENSADEG flows into biological filtration unit FLOPAC. Settled sludge is continuously recycled back to flocculation reactor and excess sludge is sent to dewatering.
The FLOPAC is a downward flow aerobic biological filter and is a combination of pre-aeration unit and biological filtration unit with sand as filter media. The pre-aeration tank is provided with an air pipe network with air diffusers for aeration of water and diffuser network is supplied with required quantity of air through Air Blowers.
The oxygen saturated water from the pre-aeration tank flows trough a channel to biological filter and is fed from the top . as the water flow through the media fine, suspended solids are filtered out and active biomass in the presence of dissolved oxygen in water degrades the organic pollutant. Filtered water from the filter is collected in a common treated water channel, which leads into filter water collection tank. The overflow from filtered wash water collection tank flows into dis-infection chamber.The treated water from FLOPAC is finally treated with chlorine solution in the dis infection chamber . The chamber is provided with baffling , to increase the length of travel of water before it reaches water collection tank, and also
to have effective dis-infection action of chlorine.

Treatment of Sludge:

The excess sludge from thickerner section of DENSADEG is pumped for mechanical dewatering . The dewatering machine is a continuous belt filter type super press. The dewatered sludge undergoes sludge conditioning before final disposal.
