Effluent Sewage and RO Water Treatment Plant

Sewage treatment plant (Industrial STP System) helps in removing contaminants from wastewater and household effluent, both runoff (effluents) and domestic. It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce an environmentally safe fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer).

Effluent Treatment Plant is used to make water more acceptable for a desired end-use. Our Commercial Effluent Treatment Plants (Industrial ETP System) covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Most industries produce some wet waste although recent trends in the developed world have been to minimise such production or recycle such waste within the production process. However, many industries remain dependent on processes that produce wastewaters. Sewage is generated by residential, institutional, and commercial and industrial establishments. It includes household waste liquid from toilets, baths, showers, kitchens, sinks and so forth that is disposed of via sewers. In many areas, effluent also includes liquid waste from industry and commerce.

Reverse osmosis (used in RO Systems) is a membrane-technology filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely. In the normal osmosis process, the solvent naturally moves from an area of low solute concentration (High Water Potential), through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration (Low Water Potential). The movement of a pure solvent to equalize solute concentrations on each side of a membrane generates osmotic pressure.

MCG is to set up sewage and effluent treatment plant in villages of GURGAON

GURGAON: MCG is now going to install a low-capacity sewage treatment plant (STP) and effluent treatment plant (ETP) in every village that comes under its jurisdiction. The existing STP plant and ETP plant are not able to handle the load that’s why the new plan is being formulated to setup sewage treatment plant for each and every village and the cost for this is also being discussed. The MCG had already come under severe criticism for failing to increase the capacity of the existing plant. The untreated sewage is now flowing into the Yamuna River.

Modi-Obama meet: US to help India develop three smart cities

The successful and satisfactory visit to US by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come up with a great deal to help India to develop three smart cities - Allahabad, Ajmer and Visakhapatnam. Apart from this, provide clean water and sewage facilities in 500 cities in the country. This deal will surely help the Indian government’s plan of developing 100 smart cities and in this regards a large amount of Rs. 7,060 crore was proposed in the Union Budget.

Trial run of sewage interceptor sewage project to start on Friday

NEW DELHI: The contentious interceptor sewage project, conceptualized by Delhi Jal Board as the answer to the Yamuna's pollution problem, is finally set to be rolled out. The trial run for the first phase of the project, involving interception of 9 million gallons per day of sewage in the Palam drain as it flows into the Najafgarh drain, will begin on Friday and will be commissioned within the next two weeks.

The project involves laying of parallel channels along the three major drains of Delhi—Najafgarh, Supplementary and Shahdara drains. These will intercept sewage from the several smaller drains that flow into these three drains, carrying it to the nearest sewage treatment plant and discharging the treated effluent back into the main drains before they meet the Yamuna.

Sewage flowing on Ayodhya Nagar road

Nagpur: People staying in Dattatray Nagar, a part of Ayodhya Nagar in South Nagpur, are fearing outbreak of vector-borne diseases in their area. The area is grappling with mosquito menace and hygiene issues due to overflowing sewage for the last 4-5 days, highlighting negligence of Nagpur Municipal Corporation in ensuring quality work from private contractors.

A resident of Ayodhya Nagar, New Subedar road Vijay Bhaturkar told TOI that they are mainly worried about the students of NMC Dattatray Nagar School in the locality. "NMC laid new sewage line in our locality. However, instead of flowing underground, the sewage started overflowing on the road from chambers. The overflow starts in the morning, submerging the road. This is happening for the last four-five days and nobody from NMC is paying attention," he said.
