Effluent Treatment Plants

An effluent treatment plant (ETP) is a facility designed to treat industrial wastewater or effluent before it is discharged into the environment or municipal sewage systems. The primary goal of an ETP is to remove pollutants and contaminants from the wastewater to meet environmental regulations, prevent water pollution, and protect public health. The specific design and processes of an ETP depend on the characteristics of the effluent and the applicable regulations.
Here are key components and processes commonly found in effluent treatment plants:
Technical Data



Inflow and Equalization:
Inlet Structure:
The effluent from industrial processes enters the treatment plant through an inlet structure.
Equalization Tank:
The flow and characteristics of the incoming wastewater may vary over time. An equalization tank helps balance the influent, ensuring a more consistent and manageable flow to subsequent treatment processes.
Preliminary Treatment:
Screening:
Large solids, debris, and floating materials are removed using screens or grit chambers.
Primary Sedimentation:
The effluent undergoes primary sedimentation to allow settleable solids to settle at the bottom, forming sludge.
Physical-chemical Treatment:
Chemical Addition:
Coagulants and flocculants may be added to enhance the removal of suspended and colloidal particles.
Flocculation:
Gentle stirring promotes the formation of flocs, which consist of aggregated particles. These flocs settle more easily during subsequent processes.
Biological Treatment:
Activated Sludge Process:
Microorganisms are used to biologically break down organic pollutants in wastewater. Aeration tanks provide oxygen for the growth of aerobic bacteria.
Biofilters or Trickling Filters:
Wastewater passes through media where microbial activity aids in the removal of organic matter.
Secondary Sedimentation:
Clarifiers or Secondary Sedimentation Tanks:
The treated water undergoes a secondary sedimentation process to allow remaining suspended solids and microorganisms to settle. Clarified water is separated from the sludge.
Tertiary Treatment (if required):
Additional Processes:
Depending on the effluent quality requirements, tertiary treatment processes such as filtration, advanced oxidation, or chemical polishing may be employed.
Disinfection:
Chlorination, UV Disinfection, or Ozonation: To eliminate or reduce the concentration of pathogenic microorganisms, the treated water may undergo disinfection.
Sludge Treatment:
Sludge Thickening:
The sludge collected in the sedimentation tanks is often thickened to reduce its volume.
Sludge Dewatering:
Further processes, such as centrifugation or belt presses, remove water from the sludge to produce a more concentrated sludge cake.
Sludge Disposal or Utilization:
The treated sludge can be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner or reused for beneficial purposes, such as land application or as a source of energy.
Effluent Quality Monitoring:
Monitoring Stations: Instruments and sensors continuously monitor key parameters to ensure that the treated effluent meets regulatory standards.
Effluent Discharge or Reuse:
Effluent Discharge:
If compliant with regulations, the treated effluent is discharged into surface water bodies or municipal sewer systems.
Effluent Reuse:
In some cases, treated effluent may be suitable for non-potable water reuse in industrial processes or for irrigation.
Effluent treatment plants are critical for ensuring responsible and sustainable industrial practices, preventing pollution, and protecting the environment and public health. Proper operation and maintenance of ETPs are essential to achieve consistent and effective treatment of industrial wastewater.
Site Installation
ARIA Offers complete turnkey solutions for clients not having inhouse maintenance teams to undertake site installations.
Our Site technicians and engineers travel from South Africa or India depending on the location of installations.
All our technicians and engineers are highly skilled and experienced in undertaking Effluent treatment plant installation in as little as 4 days depending on the size of the Effluent treatment plant.
In case the client budget does not allow for site installation crew we offer a unique method of client providing local technicians and general helpers and ARIA will only send 1 engineer to guide the team to install and commission the Effluent treatment plant.
ARIA also offers detailed installation drawings and videos of tricks to install Effluent treatment plant for clients to independently install and commission the Effluent treatment plant.
The accommodation, food and travel arrangements for any of the above options must be borne by the client as a separate line item on the offer document.
Commissioning
ARIA Effluent treatment plant come with complete commissioning documentation required by your local insurance, Fire safety department, Council and regulatory standards of the region.
A Mechanical engineer signed COC will be issued once our in-house engineer commissions the Effluent treatment plant.
A master electrician signed COC will be issued once the electrical engineer has tested and found all compliant.
A gas technician COC will be issued after inspection and snag solving if any.
An Emissions certificate will be issued by our in-house team based on the filtration manufacturer third party testing certificate.
A wall panel fire rating certificate will be issued by ARIA in house team based on our fire tests performed in the past and test reports attached as proofs.
Fume proof light fittings certificates or Explosion proof light fittings certificate will be issued as per local mandatory requirements.
Apart from the above certificates the Effluent treatment plant comes with a maintenance checklist and manual for operations and periodic preventative maintenance of your assets.
All the above documentation will be handed over to the client only after full and final payments are settled.
Warranty
All ARIA Manufactured Effluent treatment plant come with a 5-year warranty on construction and
materials used.
All third-party manufacturer products such as motors, pneumatic cylinders etc. come with third party warranty of 1 year.
All electrical components do not get any warranty and will have to be checked to be in working order before signing off on the plant handover certificate.
The only condition for 5 years warranty on ARIA Effluent treatment plant is to purchase all spares and consumables from ARIA, in case a third-party supplier is used for pirate spare parts the warranty stands void.
In case the client does not follow instructions in the manual for preventative maintenance the warranty is void.
In case there is damage to the Effluent treatment plant due to human error, act of God and physical damage due to non-changing of filters on time also the warranty will be void.
