There are two basic reasons for the treatment of sewage, reuse and proper control of wastewater and water pollution, and safeguarding the public and environmental health by protecting water supplies and preventing the spread of waterborne diseases. Proper design, and construction together with good operation and maintenance are important authorities. In the present study, a comprehensive design was developed for the units of Inlet chambers for sewage treatment plants, to produce effluents which are satisfying the safe disposal or reuse prescribed by the regulatory, Screen chamber, Grit Removal Unit, sedimentation Tank, Clari-Floculator, Aeration Tank, Sludge Drying Beds, etc. as they are commonly used in the field of wastewater treatment. The plant which is designed to treat 44.625MLD of sewage generated by the inhabitants of Agulu will use as many sustainable and energy-efficient concepts as possible, while still keeping construction and maintenance costs low. The overarching goal of the project which is designed to serve for the next 3 decades is to prevent the contamination of surface water like the Agulu lake and also groundwater, while also providing clean effluent for disposal that can be further treated for consumption.
