Effluent Treatment

Effluent treatment plants (ETPs) play a crucial role in treating industrial wastewater before discharge. They enable factories to ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard health and safety, facilitate resource recovery and minimise the impact on the environment.
Running an ETP efficiently poses significant challenges due to high operational costs and stringent compliance requirements.

Common issues faced in ETPs include
– Difficulties in meeting compliance parameters
– Chemical and biological imbalances
– Excessive chemical and electrical energy consumption
– Longer resilience/ holding times
– Frequent maintenance of mechanical & electrical equipment

These issues arise due to the following
– Fluctuations in inflow volume or contaminant concentration due to variable loads from the incoming sections
– Insufficient monitoring
– Conventional/ manual operating process
