Industries must dispose of their wastewater properly, considering the growing environmental awareness and the stricter pollution control laws. An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) helps in using its prime position to treat the industrial effluents before letting them into the environment. SDES is a company that designs, manufactures, and executes custom ETP solutions focused on the specific needs of your industry.
What is an Effluent Treatment Plant?
An Effluent Treatment Plant is a treatment facility that treats industrial wastewater so that toxic components, solids, and other pollutants can be removed. The treated water is either reused inside the premises or is discharged into the environment safely, complying with the regulations. ETPs are very important for various industries like textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.
Importance and Needs of ETP in Industries
An ETP plant is not just a compliance requirement but an investment for sustainability. That is the reason every industry needs a good ETP system:
- Regulatory compliance: being in accordance with CPCB/SPCB norms for wastewater discharge.
- Environmental protection: Preventing water bodies and soil contamination.
- Water reuse: Treating and recycling water for non-potable application in industries thereby minimizing direct dependence on fresh water sources.
- Cost savings: Long-term reduction in penalties, water bills, and treatment cost.
- Reputation: Way of showing commitment towards CSR and green practices.
Working of an ETP Plant
Typically, the working of an ETP plant comprises the following stages:
1. Preliminary Treatment
Removal of coarse solids, grit, and oil using bar screens, grit chamber, and oil skimmers.
2. Primary Treatment
Resulting settling tanks (primary clarifiers) which remove suspended solids and reduce BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand).
3. Secondary Treatment
Biological processes where aerobic or anaerobic microorganisms digest organic matters.
Technologies are considered to be Activated Sludge Process (ASP), Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR), or Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR).
4. Tertiary Treatment
Final steps of filtration, disinfection (UV/chlorine), and polishing treated water with chemical dosing.
5. Sludge Management
Dewatering and safe disposal or reuse of the biological or chemical sludge.
