Description
Introduction
Water pollution and wastewater management have become some of the most critical environmental issues today. Industrial and commercial sectors produce a significant amount of wastewater that contains harmful chemicals, oils, greases, suspended solids, and organic matter. If not treated properly, this wastewater can cause serious harm to the environment, human health, and local ecosystems.
That’s where Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP Plants) play a vital role. They are designed to treat and purify wastewater before it is discharged or reused. Among all ETP plant capacities, the 1 KLD ETP Plant is one of the most efficient and widely used systems for small to medium-scale industries, hospitals, and commercial establishments.
At V AQUA Water Treatment Company, we are recognized as one of the leading ETP Plant manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers in Delhi/NCR, offering reliable, cost-effective, and customizable wastewater treatment solutions.
What is an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP Plant)?
An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is a facility designed to treat wastewater or industrial effluents produced during manufacturing or other processes. The primary purpose of an ETP is to remove hazardous and non-hazardous substances from wastewater, ensuring that the discharged water meets environmental standards and is safe for reuse or release into natural water bodies.
ETP plants are essential in industries such as:
- Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Food and beverage industries
- Textile and dyeing units
- Automotive and engineering industries
- Hospitals and laboratories
- Electroplating and metal finishing units
By using a properly designed ETP Plant, industries can reduce pollution load, meet legal discharge norms, and contribute to sustainable environmental practices.
ETP Plant Diagram (Flow Process Overview)
A standard 1 KLD ETP Plant diagram includes the following process stages:
-
Collection Tank:
The industrial effluent is first collected in this tank. The pH, temperature, and flow of wastewater are monitored here. -
Equalization Tank:
The wastewater is mixed and homogenized to balance variations in composition and concentration. -
pH Correction/Neutralization Tank:
Acidic or alkaline wastewater is neutralized using chemicals like lime or acid to achieve the required pH level (usually 6.5–8.5). -
Coagulation and Flocculation:
Coagulants like alum or ferric chloride are added to aggregate suspended solids into larger particles (flocs) for easier removal. -
Primary Clarifier:
The flocculated solids settle at the bottom, and clear water moves to the next stage. -
Aeration Tank:
Air is supplied through diffusers to encourage microbial activity, which breaks down organic matter. -
Secondary Clarifier:
Microbial sludge settles here, separating treated water from the biomass. -
Filtration Unit:
The treated water passes through a sand filter and activated carbon filter to remove remaining particles, odor, and color. -
Disinfection Unit:
The final water is disinfected using chlorine or UV treatment before discharge or reuse. -
Sludge Handling System:
Collected sludge is dewatered and disposed of safely.
This process ensures that the wastewater is treated efficiently and complies with all CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) norms.
Effluent Treatment Plant Legal Requirements
In India, all industries generating wastewater are legally obligated to install and maintain ETP systems as per the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and guidelines issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and respective State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs).
Key legal requirements include:
- Obtaining Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) from SPCB.
- Maintaining effluent discharge standards for BOD, COD, TSS, pH, and oil & grease.
- Submitting regular environmental monitoring reports.
- Ensuring zero liquid discharge (ZLD) in water-scarce zones.
- Regular ETP maintenance and performance audits.
Non-compliance can result in heavy fines, operational shutdowns, and legal action by pollution control authorities.
Effluent Treatment Plant Guidelines
Here are the main guidelines for installing and operating an ETP plant effectively:
-
Proper Design & Sizing:
The ETP must be designed based on the effluent quantity (1 KLD, 5 KLD, 10 KLD, etc.) and characteristics (BOD, COD, TDS levels). -
Chemical Selection:
Use eco-friendly and effective chemicals for coagulation, flocculation, and disinfection. -
Automation:
Modern ETPs come with semi-automatic or fully automatic controls to optimize performance. -
Maintenance:
Regular inspection of pumps, diffusers, and filters ensures uninterrupted operation. -
Sludge Disposal:
Sludge should be dried and disposed of in accordance with Hazardous Waste Management Rules. -
Record Keeping:
Maintain detailed operational logs, chemical consumption, and test reports.
ETP Plant Process (Step-by-Step)
The 1 KLD ETP Plant process includes several phases designed to progressively remove contaminants:
-
Preliminary Treatment:
Removal of large solids, oil, and grease using screens and skimmers. -
Primary Treatment:
Sedimentation tanks separate heavier particles and suspended solids. -
Secondary Treatment (Biological):
Bacteria degrade organic matter using aeration tanks. -
Tertiary Treatment (Polishing):
Advanced filtration systems such as sand, carbon, and membrane filters remove fine impurities. -
Disinfection:
Chlorine or UV systems are used to destroy pathogens. -
Final Disposal/Reuse:
Treated water can be reused for gardening, flushing, or released into drains per CPCB norms.
What is the Cost of an ETP Water Plant?
The cost of a 1 KLD ETP Plant depends on various factors such as:
- Type of effluent
- Degree of automation (manual/semi-automatic/automatic)
- Material of construction (FRP, MS, SS)
- Site and installation requirements
On average, the 1 KLD ETP Plant price ranges between ₹90,000 – ₹2,50,000 in India.
At V AQUA Water Treatment Company, we provide customizable and cost-effective ETP plants to meet your exact capacity, budget, and application needs — whether for domestic, industrial, or commercial purposes.
Why Hard Water and Industrial Waste Are Problems
Hard water and untreated industrial effluent are both major causes of environmental and health problems. Hard water leads to scaling in pipelines, damage to machinery, and skin and hair problems in residential settings. Industrial effluents, on the other hand, contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals that harm aquatic life and pollute groundwater.
That’s why ETP plants and water softeners are essential — they not only protect the environment but also increase the efficiency of your water systems and extend equipment life.
