Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) cost is influenced by multiple factors such as wastewater flow rate, contaminant type, treatment technology, and regulatory compliance. The total investment includes both capital expenses—design, equipment, and construction—and operational costs like energy, chemicals, labour, and sludge disposal. Small-scale plants may start from a few lakhs, while advanced systems in industries such as pharmaceuticals or textiles can run into crores.

Industrial wastewater treatment follows a staged path—preliminary screening and grit removal, primary sedimentation and scum skimming, biologically driven secondary treatment with aeration and clarification, and advanced tertiary polishing and disinfection—to meet discharge norms and enable reuse. Effective sludge digestion closes the loop by stabilizing solids and recovering biogas, turning a compliance task into a resource-efficient system that protects waterways and public
