Introduction
Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) is a wastewater treatment plant, which is designed to treat small scale industrial and commercial wastewater, by eliminating contaminants (toxins, bacteria, wastewater, and sludge) from it, in order to make it re-usable and safe to dispose of in the environment.
Why is common effluent treatment plant required?
In today's world, the quality of industrial and commercial wastewater is quickly rising, producing pollution, poisoning our natural resources, and generating a variety of hazardous diseases. The Government also takes severe actions against this issue, making it essential for all industries to create CETP for processing their wastewater, and making it reusable or safely disposed of in rivers, ponds, lakes, or another natural facilities, without creating pollution.
Design of Common effluent treatment plants (CETP)
The design of a Common effluent treatment plant is mostly determined by the industry, and location. The characteristics of the site (soils, geography, geology, hydrology, and climate) and wastewater, are important aspects to consider while developing a CETP. The needs for processed and untreated effluent, are also taken into account while planning the CETP.

Primary Treatment
Its primary objective is to remove particles from the effluent, using gravity and on-going physical processes.Pre-treated water gathers in primary clarifiers during basic effluent treatment. The effluent is allowed to settle for a while, so that any remaining contaminants can precipitate out.
If oil and grease were not eliminated during pretreatment, the plant will do so during primary treatment, by skimming these lipids from the surface.
Secondary Treatment
It employs bacterial rather than physical methods. It employs helpful microorganisms, to break down more of the wastewater's solid contaminants.
Tertiary Treatment
The tertiary treatment adds further filtration and disinfection. Tertiary treatment, in contrast to primary and secondary treatment, is typically optional in most effluent treatment plants. Plants frequently employ it when they must fulfil severe effluent discharge regulations.
Advantages of Common Effluent Treatment Plants
- CETP turns the effluent into clean and safe water.
- It helps us save money.
- It prevents pollution in our environment.
- It protects people from a variety of ailments caused by wastewater.
- CETP aids in waste reduction.
- It conserves water by reusing old or dirty water.
- CETP reduces the requirement for clean water transportation.
