Introduction: India is facing a rapidly growing wastewater challenge, with urban development, industrialization, and rising water scarcity putting immense pressure on its water ecosystem. To protect rivers, lakes, and groundwater, installation of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) and Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) is now a mandatory environmental compliance requirement.
Projects must secure:
➡ Pollution Control Board NOC
➡ Consent to Establish (CTE)
➡ Consent to Operate (CTO/CCA)
➡ Routine STP/ETP documentation and compliance
Whether you manage a housing society, commercial building, hotel, hospital or an industrial unit, Sewage Treatment Plant Operation & Maintenance (STP O&M) and Effluent treatment plant AMC are key to long-term efficiency and compliance.
At Simplicomp Tech LLP, we provide end-to-end wastewater management services across India — including STP maintenance and AMC, ETP operation and maintenance, water treatment system audit, treated water testing, and ETP consent renewal process.
💧What is Wastewater? Why Must You Treat It?
Wastewater includes:
🏡 Domestic Sewage
- Blackwater: Toilet waste — pathogens, high pollution load
• Greywater: Washrooms, kitchens — oils, detergents, organic matter
🏭 Industrial Effluent
- High TDS, chemicals, metals, toxins
• Requires specialized Industrial wastewater treatment compliance
If left untreated:
⚠ Contaminates groundwater
⚠ Kills aquatic life
⚠ Causes waterborne diseases
⚠ Violates environmental laws leading to NGT penalties
✔ Proper STP/ETP treatment allows safe reuse for:
Flushing | Gardening | Landscaping | HVAC Cooling | Pavement Washings
✅ Popular Sewage Treatment Plant Technologies in India
Below is a widely accepted overview to help you select the right STP:
1️⃣ MBBR – Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor
Floating bio-media supports microbial growth to remove BOD & COD.
✔ Space-efficient — Ideal for urban residential & commercial buildings
✔ Low STP maintenance and AMC cost
✔ Stable under fluctuating load
Best for: Apartments, Hotels, Educational Institutes
2️⃣ SBR – Sequencing Batch Reactor
One-tank treatment cycle: Fill → Aerate → Settle → Decant
✔ Advanced nutrient removal
✔ Suitable for large-scale wastewater
✔ Supports treated water reuse compliance
Best for: Townships, Smart Cities, Industrial Estates
3️⃣ ASP – Activated Sludge Process
Classic aeration + settling system.
✔ Economical & proven technology
✔ Easy STP troubleshooting and inspection
✔ Suitable for consistent flow
Best for: Small to medium developments & commercial buildings
🌱 Other Advanced Technologies
Technology | Use Case | Benefits |
MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) | High-quality recycled water | Compact, reliable |
UF/RO | Treated water polishing | Removes TDS & pathogens |
Chlorination/UV/Ozone | Disinfection | Ensures reuse quality |
📌 How to Choose the Right STP?
✅ Sewage volume & strength
✅ Available footprint
✅ Treated water reuse goals
✅ Regulatory compliance norms
✅ Overall lifecycle cost incl. AMC + O&M
Need | Best Choice |
Low cost + Easy O&M | ASP |
High quality + Reuse | SBR / MBR |
Fluctuating load + Space constraint | MBBR |
🏢 Legal Compliance for STP/ETP in India
Every project must ensure:
