Rough Feasibility of a prospective village sewage treatment plant?
Hey Guys,
I would like to know how you would go about ball-pointing the feasibility of a sewage treatment plant at the get go. In other words ,before anyone decides to spend any money on a thorough feasibility study. Namely ,I'm interested in bare minimum space requirements (rough cost) for say sewage treatment of a 10,000 population town for reuse in irrigation .I know there are many factors at play here but I'm speaking in very general terms .
Any input would be appreciated and stating some helpful resources would also be appreciated.

There are packaged waste treatment plants available. Usually 1 million gallons per day is a reasonable size (excluding storm sewer requirements) for residential requirements for 10,000 people (about 100 gallons per day).
Siemens offers such packages, as do others. The plant is usually a single tank roughly 40 feet in diameter and 8 feet high, with additional requirements for pads for grinders, sump pump and controls, blowers for the aerobic sections, a dumpster for scraped solids, UV and or other tertiary treatment, plus blower to collect offgas and treat it to safe release levels.
