Treating greywater instead of transferring it to an STP has ample of benefits

posted in: News | 0

Water used for bathing, clothes washing and cooking is called grey Water. If Grey water istransferred to the STP and being mixed it with sewage (30 to 35 per cent),a large percentage of sterile water gets poisoned. ButIf this greywater is treated and put back into the soil, it would be beneficial at many levels.
If we treat grey water then the load on the septic tank will be substantially reduced, water will not stagnate in soak pits, and in large apartment complexes, the STP capacity will be reduced by half to provide substantial savings in running costs. The shallow water table will be recharged and thus provide sustained water security. Because Sewage treated water can be used for flushing purposes only after it has passed through a sand filter or an oil-electrolyte filter. After using the treated water for flushing and gardening, the excess volume which remainscould while treating is sent out in tankers for disposal. Unfortunately, in some cases, since the cost of running STP is high, the sewage itself is sent out in tankers, which dump it in the nearest water body.If this greywater is treated and put back into the soil, it would be beneficial at many levels.
By treating grey water, load on the septic tank will be considerably reduced &Tthe STP capacity will be reduced by half to provide substantial savings in operating costs if the grey water is treated.
