Wastewater Treatment Plant

A Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is a facility designed to treat and purify wastewater from residential, industrial, and commercial sources before it is safely discharged into the environment or reused. The treatment process removes pollutants, organic matter, chemicals, and pathogens, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Types of Wastewater Treatment Plants

1. Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) – Treats domestic wastewater from households and municipal sources.

2. Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) – Treats industrial wastewater containing chemicals, heavy metals, and toxins.

3. Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) – Shared facility for multiple industries in an industrial zone.
