Detailed design and engineering of STP, WTP & ETP
Often these words mean, a team of engineers getting together, to design a sewage or water treatment plant based on parameters & approach provided in manuals and reference books. This approach often fails not because the manuals or references are incorrect, but they need to work in conjunction with actual execution experience as a contractor. We are both engineers & contractors!
Our Design Approach
SWA Environmental has a unique hydraulics first framework for optimizing the design of a wastewater or water treatment plant to lower not just the capex cost but also the operation cost. The civil cost is often governed but the hydraulics of the plant by impacting the structural cost of a process unit, our approach focusses on the getting the hydraulic favourable enough so that the civil cost is optimized. The same also helps in lower pumping cost as well.
Our approach which is true to our organization’s purpose focus more on resource savings and recovery be it value engineering to lower consumption of high GHG emissions resources like cement, steel, electricity, copper (in cables) and land. This is all by simultaneously guaranteeing the plant performance and safety.
We provide detailed design and engineering for following type of water and wastewater infrastructure:
- Water treatment plant (WTP)
- Sewage treatment plant (STP) based on following technologies
- Extended aeration
- Moving bed bioreactor (MBBR)
- Sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
- Membrane bio reactor (MBR)
- Effluent treatment plant (ETP)
- Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor
- Extended aeration with tertiary treatment
- Zero liquid discharge plant based on RO + Multi Effect Evaporator
- Chemical coagulation based primary ETP
- Intake well for drinking water lifting from rivers, canals or reservoirs
Common abbreviations
STP (Sewage Treatment)
Sewage Treatment Plant for removal of BOD, Nitrogen, Phosphorus & TSS in domestic wastewater.
WTP (Water Treatment Plant)
Can be only for turbidity removal and disinfection by convention sand filtration as can also be advanced like reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration for specialized use case
ETP (Effluent Treatment)
Effluent or wastewater generated from industries as reject which has not just orgnic but also other contaminants like heavy metals, chlorides, sulphates, etc. This requires a specialized design approach

PROJECT SHOWCASE
Some unique projects where we have applied iconoclastic solutions to solve problems like space constraints and reducing power consumption
50 MLD STP based on SBR with pumping station accommodated in 7000 sqm plot, without multi stacking of unit (To know more Click here)
The unique feature and challenge were to accommodate all the units so that the power consumption and the construction economy without compromising the functionality of the plant during the O&M period
50 MLD WTP based on rapid sand filtration with gravity feed from reservoir, with sand filter at G minus 2 level (To know more Click here)
The unique feature and challenge were to accommodate backwash recirculation sump, chlorine contact tank and sludge sump combined in filter house and stacking of blower room above the backwash recirculation sump.
25 MLD STP based on SBR with pumping station accommodated in 4450 sqm (To know more Click here)
The unique feature and challenge was to accommodate all the units so that the power consumption and the construction economy without compromising the functionality of the plant during the O&M period. Blower room installed below the primary treatment unit and sludge sump below the administrative building and dewatering building complex was provided as a porch area to administrative building to enable free access around the plant.
