AN EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS ON SEWAGE WATER TREATMENT USING STEP DOWN SAND FILTERS(SDSF)
Sewage water, Rain water, Brackish water, step down sand filters
The main objective of this experiment is the sewage water treatment by using the step down sand filters, the municipal sewage water treatment is needed for this world, everyday water crises is increase, in present scenario, the availability of water is a major challenge. Alternative water sources available include rainwater, sea and brackish water, grey water and domestic or municipal sewage waste water. Among these, grey water represents the most profitable sources in terms of its reliability, availability and raw water quality. In this research a cost effective system to meet the water requirements is established. From the experimental results we found that grey water can be treated by using drawer sand filter and the treated grey water can be reused for domestic purposes. The paper concludes that Step down Compacted Sand Filters would be appropriate for use in dense urban areas as its footprint is small and appropriate for a sewage water treatment.
