Common Effluent Treatment Plants

VIABILITY OF COMMON EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS

Different View points

Since last few years there has been a debate on various aspects regarding participation of large & medium units (located in industrial area) in the CETP. There are different view of experts on this issue. An effort* has been made to compile various opinion.

Viewpoint no.1

To allow all categories of industries to join CETP is against the spirit of CETP.
In case of large scale industries, the responsibility of controlling pollution will be diluted
In case of failure of CETP the entire untreated effluent shall be released to environment. The volume of effluent shall be phenomenal considering the inclusion of large & medium units also contributing to CETP
Hence the idea of CETP should be kept limited to small scale industries however the present limit of 25 m3/d for discharging to CETP may be revised
The large & medium units joining CETP shall not be entitled for Central subsidy, although SPCBs may consider allowing subsidy to CETP as per merit.
Large & medium industries will have to pay differential treatment cost to CETP company on "Polluter Pays Principle"

Viewpoint no.2

Although CETPs are intended for small scale industries where the maximum flow is upto 25 m3/d, there are many instances of the limit is exceeded.
It is imperative to consider the removal of criteria of maximum flow for joining the CETP schemes as some small scale units may send effluent for higher pollution potential and lesser quantity and vice-versa.
There are quite a few advantages of considering large & medium units in CETP . Some of these advantages are

Enough quantity of effluent is always available
With large & medium units as nuclius members along with the small scale units, thee is a greater chance of efficient running of the CETP inb mutual interest.
Many large & medium units don’t have high quantum of wastewater generation hence they can ensure cost effective treatment through CETP

Although the policy decision for inclusion of large and medium industries in CETP is yet to be taken the above view points are signifcant to frame an idea

Note : 1. These standards apply to the small scale industries i.e total discharge upto 25 KL/D. 2. For each CETP and its constituent units, the State Board will prescribe standards as per the local needs and conditions; these can be more stringent than those prescribed above. However, in case of the clusters of units, the State board with the concurrence of CPCB in writing may prescribe suitable limits.
