Introduction: The Need for Sustainable Wastewater Management
With rapid urbanization and increasing environmental concerns, wastewater treatement has become a critical issue for builders and developers of residential and commercial projects. Traditional STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants), while functional, often struggle to meet stringent regulatory norms, leading tading to water pollution control issues, compliance challenges, and potential penalties.
This is where DiGi SMART STP by PT Ecological Services makes a difference. Designed with advanced automation, minimal manual intervention, and real-time monitoring, it ensures that treated water meets the latest environmental standards while reducing operational costs.
Traditional STP vs. DiGi SMART STP: Compliance with Environmental Regulations
| Aspect | Traditional STP | DiGi SMART STP |
| Regulatory Compliance | Often requires frequent manual testing to ensure norms are met. | Automated monitoring and control ensure consistent compliance. |
| Pollutant Removal | Performance may vary due to manual operations. | AI-based automation optimizes treatment efficiency. |
| Monitoring & Reporting | Manual data logging; prone to errors. | Real-time digital monitoring with automated reporting. |
| Chemical Usage | Requires more chemical dosing to maintain efficiency. | An optimized dosing system minimizes chemical usage. |
| Energy Efficiency | High power consumption. | Energy-efficient operation with smart automation. |
| Maintenance & Downtime | Requires frequent manual intervention and skilled labor. | Self-cleaning mechanism reduces maintenance and labor costs. |
Understanding Local Environmental Regulations for STPs
Governments worldwide, including in India, have enforced strict wastewater treatment guidelines to protect water resources. Some key regulations include:
1. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) & State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs)
- Mandates treated water to meet specific BOD, COD, and TSS levels before discharge.
- Requires continuous online monitoring of effluent quality for compliance.
- Imposes penalties for non-compliance and pollution violations.
2. National Green Tribunal (NGT) Guidelines
- Enforces zero liquid discharge (ZLD) for large residential and commercial projects.
- Strict norms on odour control and sludge disposal.
- Mandatory reuse of treated water for flushing, landscaping, or cooling systems.
3. Environmental Clearance for Real Estate Projects (MoEFCC Guidelines)
- STPs must be included in projects with a built-up area of more than 20,000 sqm.
- Treated water must comply with prescribed discharge limits.
- Developers must provide annual compliance reports.
