Abstract

The Wastewater Treatment plants are designed and constructed with an aim to control wastewater so that it helps to reduce the quantity of pollutants, nutrients, biological organism, bacteria, etc. The study is based on continuous monitoring and collection of data for six months (July 2015 to December 2015) of two plants, Kodra and Ponghat plants in Allahabad city. Both the plants are based on Bio-Tower Technology, which is an improved or modified version of trickling filters. The research work presents the results of the evaluation carried out for the efficiency analysis of STP based on Improved Bio-Tower Technology located in Allahabad city for handling and treating the municipal wastewater.

Keywords
