- OBJECTIVE:
- To describe a standard operating procedure for collection, detoxification, and disposal of effluent.
- SCOPE:
- This Procedure is applicable for collection, detoxification, and disposal of effluent at {Company Name} {Company Location}.
- RESPONSIBILITY:
- Assistant– SHE.
- In charge – SHE.
- Assistant– Maintenance
- ACCOUNTABILITY:
- QA Manager shall be accountable for Approval & Implementation of SOP.
- PROCEDURE:
- Procedure for collection, detoxification, and disposal of effluent.
- Collect process Effluents in receiving tank from Production through closed pipe lines by gravity.
- Transfer the effluent into deactivation reaction tank through the transfer pump from the collection tank.
- Prepare and keep ready the recommended volume of detoxifying agent (4%sodium hypochlorite solution) in dosing container based on measured effluent volume.
- SHE personnel should use all PPE while performing deactivation activity.
- Add detoxifying solution in required quantity(add 2 liters of 4%sodium hypochlorite solution in to approximately 20liters of liquid waste) into deactivation tank through dosing mechanism and perform detoxification activity in the deactivation tank.
- Keep under maintenance for 48 Hrs. for effective deactivation in the deactivation tank.
- After completion of maintenance period transfer the deactivation /detoxified effluent in to storage tank.
- The detoxified effluent through transfer pump is transferred from storage tanks into Pre- treatment tank at Main ETP for further treatment and disposal.
- Check & ensure the level of the sumps should not cross 3/4th level of its capacity.
- Preparation of 4% Sodium Hypo Chlorite Solution:
- If Sodium Hypo Chlorite Solution received in the strength of 4 % shall be directly used for the Deactivation Process.
- If Sodium Hypo Chlorite Solution received in the strength of 6% The following procedure shall be followed:
- To Take 1.3litres of 6% Sodium Hypo Chlorite and add 0.7 Liters of Water to mixed to get 4% Sodium Hypo Chlorite Solution
