Abstract
Wastewater typically encloses liquid and solid for agricultural, domestic, and commercial purposes. More than 3/4th of the supplied water comes back as wastewater possessing potential health hazards. To encounter this issue various wastewater treatment plants have been constructed. The efficient operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is the key to ensuring an eco-friendly and sustainable environment. The effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants is a crucial component of any region’s effort to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly environment. A case study was conducted in Hamirpur with different zone categories such as zone 1, zone 2, zone 3, and NITH to determine the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants. The present case study aims to determine the effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants by comparing the samples collected at the inlet and outlet of several treatment plants. In addition, a model test will be conducted to examine the parameters of a wastewater sample in the lab and compare them to the actual parameters taken at the wastewater treatment plant. This will give us an understanding of the variation in results. The variables for the laboratory model test will be PH, DO, TSS, BOD, and COD. Finally, a cost analysis will be conducted for each treatment plant based on the area treated.
