Kanpur is one of the most important industrial cities of Uttar Pradesh, best known for its leather and tannery cluster at Jajmau, along with textile, chemical, food processing and engineering units. These industries use large volumes of water and release effluent that carries chemicals, dyes, salts and high organic load. Netsol Water is a trusted effluent treatment plant manufacturer in Kanpur, building custom ETP and ZLD systems that help industries treat wastewater, meet discharge norms and reuse water.
We do not use one fixed design for every unit. Each plant is engineered from your wastewater characteristics, flow, space and final discharge or reuse target. Learn more about our complete range of effluent treatment plant manufacturer solutions, or talk to our engineers about your Kanpur facility.
Tanneries release wastewater with chromium, sulphides and high COD, textile and dyeing units release colour, alkalinity and dissolved salts, and food and chemical units release organic and toxic loads. Each stream needs its own treatment approach, which is why a properly designed industrial effluent treatment plant in Kanpur matters.
The Ganga flows through Kanpur, and industrial discharge is a major concern for the river and for the groundwater around industrial areas. Treating effluent at the source protects water bodies, soil and the communities that depend on them.
Industries are expected to meet the discharge standards set by CPCB and the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board and to hold valid consent from the board. Units connected to a common effluent treatment plant (CETP) usually still need on site pre-treatment to meet its inlet limits. A well built ETP plant in Kanpur helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties or shutdown notices.
An effluent treatment plant cleans industrial wastewater in stages, and the exact steps depend on the industry:
1.Screening and equalization: Screens remove coarse solids, and an equalization tank balances flow, pH and load.
2.Physico-chemical treatment: Coagulation, flocculation and a primary clarifier remove suspended solids, colour, oil and metals.
3.Biological treatment: Aeration tanks or MBBR systems use bacteria to break down organic matter and reduce BOD and COD.
4.Secondary clarification: The treated water separates from biological sludge.
5.Tertiary treatment: Pressure sand filters, activated carbon filters and disinfection polish the water for discharge or reuse.
6.Sludge handling: Filter press or sludge drying beds dewater the sludge for safe disposal.
The right treatment train depends on what your process discharges. The table below shows how we typically approach the main industries in Kanpur.
| Industry | Typical Wastewater Challenges | Our Treatment Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Leather and tannery | Chromium, sulphides, high COD and TDS | Tannery ETP plant with chrome and sulphide removal, biological treatment and tertiary polishing |
| Textile and dyeing | Colour, high pH, dissolved salts, COD | Textile ETP plant with colour removal, chemical and biological treatment |
| Food and dairy | High BOD, oil and grease, organic load | Oil separation, equalization and biological treatment |
| Chemical and pharma | Toxic compounds, variable pH, high COD | Physico-chemical treatment followed by biological polishing |
| Any unit needing full reuse | Salts and TDS that limit discharge or reuse | ETP with RO and evaporation as a ZLD plant |
For units that want to recover and reuse most of their water, we combine the ETP with an RO stage and evaporation to build a zero liquid discharge plant. You can read our difference between ETP and STP guide if you are deciding which system your site needs.
| Capacity | Typical Applications | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| 10 to 50 KLD | Small food units, laboratories, small processing units | Request a quote |
| 50 to 200 KLD | Dyeing units, dairies, pharma and chemical units | Request a quote |
| 200 to 1000 KLD | Larger tanneries, textile mills and industrial campuses | Talk to our engineers |
| 1000 KLD and above | Large industries and ZLD projects | Talk to our engineers |
.Wastewater analysis first: We study your effluent characteristics and discharge norms before selecting the process.
.Custom design: Every design considers flow variation, available space, operating cost and future expansion.
.In-house engineering and manufacturing: Tanks, dosing systems, blowers, pumps, filters and control panels are built and tested to a defined quality standard.
.Installation and commissioning: Our team installs, commissions and trains your operators on site.
.Maintenance and spares: Scheduled servicing, emergency support and quick availability of spare parts reduce downtime.

The cost of an ETP plant in Kanpur depends on wastewater quantity, pollutant load, chosen technology, material of construction and automation. Share your process details and we will prepare a detailed quotation. Request a free quote.
A tannery ETP plant typically needs chrome and sulphide handling, physico-chemical treatment, biological treatment and tertiary polishing. The exact design depends on your process and wastewater test report.
An ETP treats industrial wastewater from manufacturing processes, while an STP treats domestic sewage. Read our detailed difference between ETP and STP guide for more.
A ZLD plant is needed when discharge is restricted or when you want to recover and reuse almost all of your water. We can assess your site and advise whether a standard ETP or a full ZLD system fits better.
Yes. We provide installation, commissioning, operator training, scheduled maintenance and spare parts support.
