Sewage Treatment Plant for Apartments

In general, the wastewater discharged from domestic premises like residences, institutions, and commercial establishments is termed sewage or wastewater. It includes waste liquid from toilets, baths, showers, kitchens, and sinks draining into sewers. Sewage treatment refers to the process of removing contaminants, micro-organisms, and other types of pollutants from wastewater, primarily from household sewage. Sewage treatment includes physical, chemical, and biological methods to remove contaminants and produce environmentally safe treated wastewater to make it usable again.

If your apartment is not installed with STP or if you are looking forward to constructing a new apartment then environmental laws have made it mandatory for all to set up and operate Sewage Treatment Plants. If the word “Sewage Treatment Plant” is confusing to you, you might consider it as “wastewater treatment”. Here, we let you know about what is Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) or Sewage Treatment System.

Sewage Treatment Process:

Sewage treatment plants are available in a modular or package form. Small wastewater treatment plant involves three stages namely primary, secondary and tertiary treatment.

Treating sewage/wastewater from your apartment has the aim of producing an effluent that will do as little harm as possible when discharged to the surrounding environment, thereby preventing pollution compared to releasing untreated wastewater into the environment.

Sewage from your apartment can be treated by implanting a Sewage Treatment System or Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) which involves the following stages:

1. Preliminary Treatment
2. Primary Treatment
3. Secondary Treatment
4. Tertiary Treatment

How Sewage Treatment Plant useful for your apartments:

If wastewater that is coming out from your apartment is not properly treated, then the environment and human health can be negatively impacted. Hence, installing a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in all types of apartments is very useful. Why because:

A sewage treatment plant is a simple and affordable treatment plant to maintain in apartments.
Installation of STP in apartments/flats will upgrade the quality of life.
STP treats the water that goes down drains before releasing it back into the environment.
Usage of STP in apartments yields clean reusable water that can be used for other purposes like washing, toilets, watering plants outdoor floor cleaning, etc., so that you can save water.
Using STP the amount of waste from the apartments that is usually released into the environment is reduced thus improving the environment’s health.

Types of Sewage Treatment plant:

Various types of sewage treatment plants are available based on their treatment of wastewater and are as follows:

Activated sludge plant (ASP)
Rotating disc system (RDS)
Submerged aerated filter (SAF)
Suspended Media Filters (SMF)
Sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
Non-electric filter
Trickling filter

Sewage treatment plants play a crucial role in safeguarding public health by ensuring a reliable supply of clean and safe drinking water, as well as protecting the environment by treating and returning wastewater responsibly.
