STP FAQs
What is a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), and how does it work?
An STP treats domestic sewage by removing contaminants through physical, biological, and chemical processes. It separates solids, breaks down organic matter, and disinfects water, making it safe for non-potable reuse like gardening or flushing.
Why is STP important for residential and commercial buildings?
STPs help manage wastewater responsibly, prevent pollution, meet environmental regulations, and enable water recycling—critical for sustainability in housing societies, hotels, and offices.
What are the different stages involved in STP?
Typical STP stages include preliminary treatment (screening), primary treatment (sedimentation), secondary treatment (biological processing), and tertiary treatment (disinfection or filtration) for final water polishing.
What capacity STPs do you offer?
We offer STPs from 1 KLD (kilolitre/day) to over 10 MLD (Million litre/day), tailored for residential complexes, commercial spaces, and industrial premises based on water inflow and occupancy.
How do you size an STP for an apartment complex or hotel?
STP size depends on daily wastewater generation, calculated based on the number of residents or rooms. Calculations are based on the NGT rulebook.
What is the difference between MBBR, SBR, and MBR-based STPs?
MBBR uses a moving bed bio-reactor, SBR treats sewage in timed batches, and MBR combines membranes with biological treatment. Each has its advantages based on site needs and quality goals.
Is treated sewage water safe for gardening and flushing?
Yes, properly treated water meets reuse standards and is safe for non-potable applications like irrigation, toilet flushing, and landscaping, helping conserve fresh water.
What is the maintenance frequency of an STP?
STPs require to be operated, monitored & maintained 24x7 for system health, weekly for major equipment, and quarterly or annually for servicing, depending on usage and technology.
Do you provide fully automated or IoT-based STPs?
Yes, we offer advanced STPs with automation, MATRIX, and IoT capabilities for real-time monitoring, eliminating manpower, and optimized performance with alerts and remote access & control.
Can STPs be retrofitted in existing buildings?
Absolutely. We offer compact, modular systems that can be retrofitted in basements, parking areas, or open spaces with minimal civil changes and downtime.
ETP FAQs
What is an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)?
ETPs treat industrial wastewater to remove harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and pollutants before releasing it to the environment or reusing it safely.
How is ETP different from STP?
ETPs treat industrial effluents, which often contain toxic and chemical waste, whereas STPs treat domestic sewage from households or commercial buildings.
What industries require ETPs?
ETPs are essential for industries like textile, pharmaceutical, chemical, dairy, food processing, automotive, laundry, hospitals, and manufacturing to meet environmental discharge norms.
Do you offer zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) systems?
Yes, we provide advanced ZLD solutions that recover maximum water, minimize waste, and ensure zero discharge, complying with the highest environmental standards.
Can ETPs be customized for specific industries?
Absolutely. Our ETPs are tailored to specific pollutants, flow rates, and industry processes, ensuring compliance and efficiency for each unique requirement.
What are the main components of an ETP?
Key components include equalization tanks, chemical dosing systems, clarifiers, aeration tanks, filters, sludge dewatering units, and disinfection systems.
What pollution parameters does your ETP reduce?
Our ETPs reduce BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, heavy metals, oils, pH imbalance, and specific industry-related pollutants to meet regulatory norms.
Are your ETPs compliant with CPCB/SPCB norms?
Yes, all our ETP designs meet or exceed Central and State Pollution Control Board standards, ensuring legal compliance and eco-friendliness.
How often does an ETP need servicing or chemical replenishment?
Basic checks are required daily, with chemical replenishment weekly or monthly, and professional servicing recommended quarterly for optimal operation.
Can you automate ETPs and provide remote monitoring?
Yes, our ETPs support automation, remote diagnostics, cloud data logging, and alerts to reduce manual intervention and enhance performance transparency.
Desalination FAQs
What is a desalination plant and how does it work?
Desalination removes salt and minerals from seawater or brackish water using reverse osmosis (RO) or thermal processes, making it suitable for drinking or industrial use.
Do you use RO or thermal-based desalination?
We offer both, but RO-based desalination is more common due to energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness for most applications, including coastal and island areas.
What sources of water can be desalinated?
We desalinate seawater, brackish groundwater, and highly mineralized surface water to produce clean, potable, or process-grade water.
What is the typical cost per litre of desalinated water?
Cost depends on source water salinity and energy rates, ranging from ₹0.50 to ₹2 per litre. RO systems offer the lowest operating costs over time.
How do you manage the brine discharge?
We follow environmental guidelines for safe brine disposal via ocean outfalls or evaporation systems, ensuring minimal ecological impact and compliance.
Can desalination plants be installed for private resorts or islands?
Yes, we specialize in compact, containerized desalination plants for resorts, ships, islands, and remote areas with no access to fresh water.
What is the minimum and maximum plant capacity you offer?
We design desalination plants from 10 KLD to over 1000 KLD, depending on project size and application, including modular expandability.
What is the energy consumption of your desalination systems?
Our RO-based systems are energy-efficient, consuming 3–6 kWh per 1,000 litres. Energy recovery devices further reduce power usage.
Do you offer solar-powered desalination plants?
Yes, we provide solar-integrated systems ideal for off-grid areas, reducing operational costs and environmental footprint.
How long is the lifespan of a desalination plant?
With proper maintenance, our plants last 15–20 years. Membranes require replacement every 3–5 years based on water quality and usage.
