This comprehensive guide covers everything—from cost per KLD, technology types, pricing charts, design factors, and O&M expenses to why V AQUA Water Treatment Company is a leading provider of STPs for apartments in India.
If you are planning to install an STP for a new residential project or upgrade an existing one, this 2025 expert guide will help you make the right decision.
1. What Is a Package STP Plant for Apartments?
A Package STP (Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant) is a pre-engineered, factory-fabricated wastewater treatment plant designed to treat sewage generated from residential apartments and housing societies.
Unlike conventional RCC-based STPs, package plants come as a ready-made, plug-and-play system that requires very little on-site civil construction.
Why Builders Prefer Package STPs
- Quick installation (15–30 days)
- Low civil work and low footprint
- Easy relocation if required
- Fully automated or semi-automatic operation
- Suitable for 10–500 KLD apartment complexes
- Attractive appearance and compact size
- Odour-free and user-friendly
Package STPs are available in:
- MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor)
- SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor)
- MBR (Membrane Bioreactor)
- FMR/SAFF (Fixed Media Reactor)
based on treated water requirements.
