Amrita Hospitals in Faridabad have implemented a process to treat wastewater using Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) and Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP).
STP is a facility that treats domestic wastewater to remove contaminants and make it safe for disposal or reuse. It involves several treatment processes, including physical, biological, and chemical processes, to remove pollutants from the wastewater.
ETP is a facility that treats industrial wastewater to remove pollutants before it is discharged into the environment. It employs various treatment methods, such as physical, chemical, and biological processes, to remove contaminants and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
The STP is primarily responsible for treating domestic wastewater generated within the hospital premises, including wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers. The treatment process in the STP may involve the following steps:
On the other hand, the ETP is responsible for treating industrial wastewater generated within the hospital, which may contain specific contaminants from medical processes or equipment. The treatment process in the ETP may involve additional steps or specialized treatment methods to address the unique characteristics of industrial wastewater.
