Plant/Process Description:
The BWSS STP was designed to address the
impending environmental issue which might arise
as a result of the continuous uphill trend of
tourist arrival in the famous Island of Boracay,
which was once declared as the most beautiful
beach in the world. The increase in development,
coupled by the porous soil formation triggered
the need for a wastewater treatment facility,
since the earlier settlers used to rely on septic
tanks as a mode of discharge and treating their
wastewater.
The plant was designed to handle 2600 cu.m. per
day of wastewater, discharged from commercial and
residential establishments in the island of
Boracay, Philippines.
The treatment is a biological process through
activated sludge. The plant was not designed as
a combined system, considering technicalities as
well as actual site conditions.
The system components are: grit chamber,
oxidation ditch, clarifers, and a disinfection
tank and an 840 m marine outfall pipe. Thus
treated wastewater conforming with the standards
set by the Department of Natural Resources is
discharged at the Sibuyan Sea which is the
backside portion of the island.
