    This document describes a student project to develop a hybrid system using vermifiltration to treat canteen wastewater. The system uses two units - a vertical flow unit and horizontal flow unit containing earthworms and plants. Raw wastewater is pumped through the vertical unit and then to the horizontal unit. Samples are analyzed to evaluate reduction of pollutants. The hybrid system aims to achieve high nutrient removal. The treated water can be reused for irrigation or industrial processes, making it an economical and sustainable wastewater treatment method.

    TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER

    PROJECT ID: 18881

    • Water is becoming one of the important and limited resources available to us.
    Water scarcity is world-wide problem. Thus, a sustainable, effective and
    cheapest method of wastewater treatment is yet to be reality. Biological
    wastewater treatment system have come a long way in the past years, but one
    technology is pioneering a revolutionary new approach. Therefore, an attempt
    is made to reuse the wastewater after giving low cost effective treatment with
    the help of vermifilter.

    • Vermifiltration is a new and innovative technology in which the combined


    action of earthworms’ activity and the adsorption properties of other
    materials like soil, sand and gravel. Earthworms’ body works as a bio-filter and
    have been found to remove BOD, COD, TDS and TSS by general mechanism of
    ingestion, biodegradation and adsorption through body walls. There is no
    sludge formation in vermifiltration process which requires additional cost on
    landfill disposal and it is also odour-free process.

    • This paper presents a systematic study of a bio-vermifilter system for


    treatment of canteen wastewater in our college using two units: Vertical unit
    and Horizontal unit
    Canteen
    wastewater
    • Raw waste water is pumped 1st to the vertical flow (VF) unit at
    different hydraulic loading rate from a feeding tank and then
    the effluent tank is further transferred to the 2nd stage i.e.
    horizontal flow (HF) unit.
    • Garden soil and vermicompost mixed in ratio 1:3 by volume is
    filled in the upper layer of VF, it is known as worm active layer.
    • Both VF and HF unit are planted with macrophyte Canna
    indica (perennial plant).
    • Waste water flows from top to bottom in VF unit, where as in
    HF unit flow is carried out at the bottom(1.5% slope is set).
    • Single stage reactor(VF and HF) unit cannot achieve high
    removal of total nitrogen due to their inability to provide both
    aerobic and aerobic conditions at the same time, hence both
    VF and HF unit combined with each other in order to exploit
    its specific advantages .
    • The waste water of different compositions are prepared which
    is poured to the reactor.
    • The waste water sample were analyzed for different
    parameters using different methods. Thus it is performed in
    stages.
    • Microphytes are group of autotrophic organisms that have
    ability to grow rapidly, produce more biomass per surface
    than any natural source.
    • The earth worms used in this process improves the nutrient
    availability, drainage, soil structure, its productivity.
    • It is economical, affordable and enviourmental sustainable for
    treatment of wastewater.
    • Reduction of pollutants with the in-build pathogens removal
    property.
    • Some reaserchers have shown that vermicomposting is
    healthier than organic fertilizers as compost and manure.
    • The limitations of vermifiltration like wastewater feeding
    mode, vermifiltration cleaning process, saline water
    treatment, heavy metals removals from wastewater.
    • The worms are sensitive to pH, temperature and moisture
    content which must be controlled during the process.
    OUTCOME
    • The vermi-filtered water is clean and can be recycled in many
    industrial plants for production processes & various secondary
    uses.
    • Filtered water can also be used for irrigation.
    • Economical & Eco-friendly.
    • It has an in-built pH buffering ability and hence can accept waste
    water within a pH range 4 to 9 without any pH adjustment.
    • Vermifiltration is a sustainable technology for wastewater
    treatment.
