Effluent Treatment Plant

An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is a wastewater treatment system designed to remove contaminants from industrial effluents before safely discharging them into the environment or reusing them. ETPs are essential for industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, and manufacturing, ensuring compliance with pollution control norms set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) in India.

Objectives of an ETP

1. Compliance with Environmental Regulations – Meets discharge standards set by CPCB/SPCB.

2. Reduction of Pollution – Removes toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and organic pollutants.

3. Water Recycling & Reuse – Reduces freshwater consumption by treating and reusing water.

4. Protection of Ecosystems – Prevents contamination of rivers, lakes, and groundwater
