Sewage Treatment Plants in High Altitude under Subzero Temperatures: Design, Operation and Maintenance
Digestion of sewage in high altitudes locations with subzero temperatures is a challenge. While plants work in such regions in the summer, the same becomes non-operational in the winter. Hence, establishing habitats in such locations becomes difficult and often the locations need to be changed every year, leaving a trail of pollution. This research project will examine conditions prevalent at high altitudes under subzero temperatures, globally, find out what types of habitats prevail, under what conditions and how do they handle their sewage disposal. This research project will further analyze various case studies to address these challenges and find effective solutions using global data and in consultation with industry experts. Based on these findings, decide how to handle the sewage, its segregation, treatment of each element of the different types of waste and final digestion and disposal, ensuring environment protection, positive contribution to climate change, using sustainable methods/ means.
