WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT
What Industries seek in wastewater management ?

• Maximum reduction in the effluent quantity generation.

• Environmental compliance.
• Generation of reusable water, if possible also revenue
generation.
• Minimum CAPEX & OPEX
• Minimum Footprint
 SETTING UP ETP !!
WHAT EXPERT’S NEED TO LOOK INTO - SELECTION CRITERIA

▪ Life cycle cost

This includes installation costs and operation costs, which are usually capitalized over
the life of the project to provide a common basis for comparing different options.
▪ Cost-effectiveness
Expressed as a unit cost to provide a basis for comparing different options (Rs./m3). For
example, economies of scale often reduce the unit cost of treating wastewater but are
not necessarily cost-effective if wastewater flows are not high enough to allow the
technology to perform optimally.
▪ Reliability
Measure of how well a system performs in relation to expectations without breakdowns
or failure to treat wastewater to meet water quality objectives. Reliability also is
associated with simplicity of operation and ease of maintenance. Reliable systems that
require highly skilled operators and careful maintenance would be less appropriate.
▪ Simplicity
Simplicity of operation and ease of maintenance. This is highly desirable for ETP’s
designed for SMEs.
▪ Performance
Measured in terms of percent removal or may be expressed as typical treated effluent
concentrations required to meet water quality objectives

▪ Ability to meet water quality objectives

A primary screening criterion. Any system that is not able to meet water quality objectives
does not need to be considered any further.

▪ Adaptability to change in influent quality

This is a very important criterion for ETPs designed for SMEs because wastewater quality tends
to be more variable than for conventional municipal wastewater treatment.

▪ Adaptability to varying flow rate.

This is an important criterion for CETPs designed for SMEs, if the industries involved have highly
varying flow rates.

would be:
• Nitrogen : 40 Kg/Day i.e. 14000 Kgs/ Annum equivalent to 25 Tons of Urea
• Phosphorous: 5.6 Kgs/Day i.e. 2000 Kgs/Annum equivalent to 4 Tons of DAP
