Waste Water Treatment

A complete knowledge guide on waste water treatment processes, technologies, benefits, and sustainable water management by EWS Experts.

What is Waste Water Treatment?

Waste water treatment is the systematic process of removing physical, chemical, and biological contaminants from used water generated by households, commercial establishments, and industries. The treated water can be safely discharged into the environment or reused for non-potable applications.

Effective waste water treatment is essential for protecting natural water bodies, public health, and ensuring sustainable water management.

Waste Water Treatment Process

Preliminary & Primary Treatment

Involves screening, grit removal, oil & grease separation, and sedimentation to remove large and settleable solids from waste water.

Secondary (Biological) Treatment

Uses biological processes such as MBBR, ASP, or SBR where microorganisms break down organic matter and reduce BOD and COD.

Tertiary Treatment & Disinfection

Advanced filtration, chemical treatment, and disinfection remove remaining impurities, making water suitable for reuse or safe disposal.

Types of Waste Water Treatment Plants

  • Sewage Treatment Plant (STP): Designed to treat domestic sewage from residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.
  • Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP): Used for treating industrial effluents containing chemicals, oils, and heavy pollutants.
  • Package Treatment Plants: Compact and modular systems suitable for limited space and quick installation.
