ETP & STP Design Framework

Every ETP/STP project begins with a clear understanding of treatment objectives, discharge norms, and site constraints.

This includes:

• Review of influent characteristics and variability

• Identification of applicable CPCB/SPCB norms

• Understanding reuse, recycle, and ZLD requirements

• Alignment with client operational and expansion plans

Outcome:
A clearly defined design basis and compliance framework.

Detailed design is carried out using established engineering calculations and standards.

This includes:

• Hydraulic profile development

• Equipment sizing and selection

• Process control and automation considerations

• Redundancy and reliability planning

AI-assisted tools may help compare operating scenarios; all calculations and drawings are engineer-approved.

Outcome:
Technically sound and operationally reliable system design.

Where required, we support clients during execution and commissioning.

Support includes:

• Technical clarifications to contractors

• Commissioning support and performance checks

• Post-commissioning optimisation

Outcome:
Treatment plants that perform as designed.

Accurate design depends on reliable data. We undertake detailed influent assessment to establish realistic design parameters.

Activities include:

• Review and validation of sampling and analysis data

• Assessment of flow variations and peak loads

• Evaluation of shock load and seasonal variability

AI-assisted analytical tools may support data trend analysis; final design inputs are engineer-validated.

Outcome:
Robust and defensible design inputs.

Designs are evaluated for operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.

This includes:

• Energy and chemical consumption optimisation

• Sludge reduction and handling efficiency

• CAPEX vs OPEX trade-off analysis

• Provision for future load increase

Outcome:
Cost-effective and future-ready treatment systems.

Treatment processes are selected based on influent characteristics, discharge norms, footprint, and lifecycle costs.

This stage includes:

• Evaluation of primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment options

• Sludge handling and disposal strategy

• Odour, chemical, and safety considerations

AI-assisted scenario comparison may be used to evaluate alternatives; process selection remains engineering-led.

Outcome:
Optimised treatment philosophy aligned with site and compliance needs.

We deliver clear, regulator-ready documentation.

Deliverables typically include:

• Process design documents

• PFDs, P&IDs, and layout drawings

• Equipment specifications

• Compliance documentation for approvals

AI-assisted documentation tools support clarity and consistency; engineering sign-off remains mandatory.

Outcome:
Approval-ready documentation supporting smooth execution.
