What to do for eliminating smell from sewage treatment plant?
As the
technologies are becoming more and more advanced every day therefore with the
help of those technologies it has now become easy for the people to get the
wastewater treated as now there are various types of machines that have been
designed and manufactured for this purpose. The process of wastewater treatment
in the present times due to the same advancing technologies and further
developments in industrial manufacture and production purposes has become a lot
more complicated therefore cannot be done manually therefore the best option is
to get it done through a wastewater treatment plant.
Now if we
get into more details of the wastewater treatment plants then there is not just
one wastewater treatment but actually there are various types of wastewater
treatment plants that are available in the market for the process of wastewater
treatment to be conducted smoothly. The types of wastewater treatment plants
include the sewage treatment plant, effluent treatment plant, common and
combined effluent treatment plant, and the activated sludge plant.
Each type
of plant is designed differently and also has different set features associated
with it and it is so because each of them is designed to work in a different
type of environment at different places. But here we will focus our discussion
on one out of all these different types of the wastewater treatment plant and
that is the sewage treatment plant.
Though
the sewage treatment plant is very easy to install as well as to operate but
sometimes the users are seen stuck with its operations as and when some
technical fault occurs in the plant. The most common problem that most of the
users face while using sewage treatment
plant in India is the issue of the smell. So, here we will
further focus our discussion on the ways and means through which the users
would be able to easily get through this problem of sewage treatment plant
producing a foul smell.
If the
sewage treatment plant is giving out foul smells then to get rid of them and to
get the plant back to normal working the user should take the measures given
below:
·
If the plant has not been serviced in a while then the first thing
that should be done is getting it serviced and checked properly by an expert.
·
The expert will then work on finding out the source of the smell
along with conducting the service of the plant.
·
In most cases, once the expert is able to identify the source of
the smell after that it is immediately sealed and the smell goes away. But one
should not try doing it themselves as that can prove to be harmful due to lack
of needed experience and skill.
·
There is also a possibility that the sewage treatment system is
overloaded therefore one should get it emptied of the sludge.
·
The process of emptying the system should be conducted at least
once in a year to avoid sludge build-up in the plant as that may further result
in foul smells.
·
Also one should check if the plant is actually working for that
the user needs to check the air blower if a humming sound is audible then the
plant is working if not then it is not working.
·
The user should not be using much of the chemicals in the process
of treatment through the plant.
·
Also, there should not be any type of food wastage present in the
sewage treatment plant.
·
Also, the air vents of the plant should be checked for any sort of
blockage.
If there
is any such issue like we have discussed here that is troubling the user with
the workings of the plant then the best thing to do is to ask assistance from
an experienced and well-skilled plant engineer. It is not at all safe for the
user to get into the plant and to touch any of the equipment associated with it
as that can really be fatal and also it may add more to the problems of
the sewage treatment
plant and can also cause irreversible damage to it and that
may further result in a very huge financial loss.
