Preliminary Treatment – Removal of large solids, oil, and grease
-
Primary Treatment – Chemical treatment to remove suspended solids
-
Secondary Treatment – Biological process to remove organic matter
-
Tertiary Treatment – Advanced filtration and disinfection for reuse
-
Sludge Treatment – Handling and disposal of generated sludge
Importance of ETP
Reduces water pollution
-
Saves water through recycling
-
Essential for sustainable industrial operations
