Construction of 20 mld sewage treatment plant with pumping main and ancillary units at vasco.
BACKGROUND
I. CONSTRUCTION OF 20MLD STP WITH C-TECH
The existing Sewage Treatment Plant in Vasco with a capacity of 14 MLD has been commissioned in the year 1985 and is based in old conventional process i.e. Activated Sludge process with Extended Aeration. With more than 50 kms of Sewerage network spread in all three constituencies of Mormugao, Vasco and Dabolim, the present generation sewage is more than the capacity of existing plant. Further the existing plant is already 28 years old and is nearing its lifecycle and is not able to take increased sewage load and maintenance of mechanical and electrical units has become a tedious job due to the long life those are in service and due to salinity because of close proximity to Arabian sea and the cost involvement in the maintenance also has increased manifold.
Therefore a new Sewage Treatment Plant with a capacity of 20 MLD with the latest technology i.e. C-Tech (SBR technology) has been proposed for Vasco city and after obtaining approval and going through tendering process the foundation stone is being laid today.
With this new 20MLD STP all the three Constituencies of Mormugao Taluka (Mormugao, Vasco and Dabolim) will be benefitted………….
