Description
Introduction
Hotels, resorts, and hospitality establishments are significant water consumers. Every day, they generate thousands of liters of wastewater from guest rooms, kitchens, laundries, swimming pools, and restrooms. Without proper treatment, this sewage poses severe risks to the environment and public health.
To ensure sustainability, hygiene, and compliance with environmental norms, Sewage Treatment Plants (STP Plants) have become mandatory for hotels. A well-designed STP not only treats wastewater effectively but also allows for its reuse in landscaping, flushing, and cooling systems—helping hotels save water and maintain an eco-friendly reputation.
This comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about Sewage Treatment Plants for Hotels, including their process, legal requirements, cost, and why V AQUA WATER TREATMENT COMPANY is India’s most trusted name for hotel STP installation and maintenance.
🧭 What is a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP Plant)?
A Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is an engineered facility that removes contaminants, organic matter, and harmful microorganisms from wastewater, making it safe for reuse or discharge.
Hotels generate wastewater rich in food residues, detergents, oils, and organic waste. An STP uses biological and mechanical processes to purify this water, ensuring it meets CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) discharge norms.
Key Benefits of STP in Hotels
- Complies with environmental regulations
- Prevents water pollution and foul odor
- Reuses treated water, reducing water bills
- Improves sustainability ratings and brand image
- Provides a healthy, hygienic environment for guests and staff
⚙️ STP Plant Diagram
A typical Sewage Treatment Plant for hotels consists of several chambers designed to perform specific treatment functions. Below is a simplified diagram and description:
Main Components of a Hotel STP:
-
Collection Chamber:
Receives wastewater from kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry. -
Screening Unit:
Removes large solids like plastics, cloth, and debris. -
Equalization Tank:
Balances fluctuations in flow and quality of incoming wastewater. -
Aeration Tank (Biological Treatment):
Uses air blowers to supply oxygen to microorganisms that decompose organic waste. -
Secondary Clarifier:
Allows separation of sludge and clean water. -
Filtration Unit:
Includes sand and activated carbon filters for removing fine impurities. -
Disinfection Unit (Chlorination/UV):
Eliminates pathogens, ensuring water is safe for reuse. -
Sludge Handling Unit:
Dehydrates and safely disposes of or reuses solid waste as manure.
This process ensures that the treated water is odor-free, clear, and environmentally safe for reuse.
📜 Sewage Treatment Plant Legal Requirements for Hotels
In India, the installation of a Sewage Treatment Plant is a legal mandate for hotels, resorts, and other commercial establishments.
According to CPCB and SPCB (State Pollution Control Boards) guidelines:
- Any hotel generating more than 10 KLD (Kiloliters per Day) of wastewater must install a functional STP.
- Hotels must obtain a Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) from the respective SPCB.
- Treated water must meet discharge norms before reuse or disposal.
- Hotels must maintain regular STP maintenance logs and water quality reports.
- Non-compliance can result in heavy penalties, cancellation of licenses, or closure orders.
V AQUA ensures all installed plants meet CPCB and local PCB norms for safe operation and long-term compliance.
📖 Sewage Treatment Plant Guidelines for Hotels
The CPCB and MoEFCC have established detailed design and operational guidelines for STPs in the hospitality sector.
Design Guidelines:
- The STP capacity must be 20% higher than daily wastewater generation.
- Should include standby pumps, blowers, and electrical panels.
- Design must prevent odor and noise pollution.
- Sludge disposal should follow hygienic standards.
Operation Guidelines:
- Maintain optimum aeration and flow rates.
- Regularly monitor parameters like BOD, COD, pH, and TSS.
- Store treated water separately from potable water.
- Periodic maintenance of filters, blowers, and pumps is mandatory.
At V AQUA, every STP design is created using advanced technology and automation, ensuring CPCB-approved efficiency and durability.
💧 Why Hotels Need an STP Plant
1. Legal Compliance
As per CPCB, installing an STP is compulsory for all medium and large hotels. Operating without one is a punishable offense.
2. Environmental Responsibility
Hotels contribute significantly to wastewater generation. STPs reduce environmental pollution and groundwater contamination.
3. Water Conservation
Treated water from STPs can be reused for:
-
Gardening and landscaping
-
Cooling towers
-
Flushing systems
This significantly cuts freshwater dependency and reduces operational costs.
4. Improved Brand Reputation
Eco-conscious guests and travelers prefer staying in hotels that adopt green initiatives. Having an STP shows environmental commitment and enhances your hotel’s sustainability image.
5. Cost Efficiency
Recycling wastewater reduces water purchase costs, helping hotels save lakhs of rupees annually.
6. Health & Hygiene
Proper wastewater treatment prevents foul odor, insect breeding, and waterborne diseases — ensuring a cleaner, healthier hotel environment.
💰 What is the Cost of an STP Water Plant for Hotels?
The cost of an STP plant for hotels depends on several key factors such as treatment capacity, technology, and automation level.
| Capacity (KLD) | Approx. Cost (INR) | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 5–10 KLD | ₹3–5 Lakhs | Small boutique hotels |
| 20–50 KLD | ₹8–20 Lakhs | Medium-size hotels |
| 100 KLD+ | ₹25 Lakhs & above | Large resorts or chains |
Cost Factors:
- Design type (MBBR, SBR, MBR, FAB)
- Type of tank (RCC, FRP, MSEP)
- Site conditions and installation complexity
- Automation level (manual/semi/automatic)
V AQUA provides affordable and customizable STP plants that balance quality, efficiency, and long-term performance — ideal for all hotel sizes.
🔄 STP Plant Process
1. Preliminary Treatment
Removes physical impurities such as plastics, hair, food waste, and solids using bar screens and grit chambers.
2. Primary Treatment
Settles suspended solids and grease through sedimentation, separating sludge for further processing.
3. Secondary Treatment (Biological Process)
Uses microorganisms in aeration tanks to degrade organic matter. Common technologies used:
- MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor)
- MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor)
- SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor)
4. Tertiary Treatment
Polishes the treated water through filtration and disinfection (UV/chlorination) to make it suitable for reuse.
5. Sludge Treatment
The remaining sludge is thickened, dewatered, and disposed of or reused as organic manure.
V AQUA designs plants to operate with low energy consumption, minimal odor, and easy maintenance, ensuring long-term sustainability.
