Common Effluent Treatment Plants
in India
Mindful of the key role played by SSI units and the constraints in complying
with pollution control norms individually by these units, the Ministry of Environment
and Forests (MoEF), Govt. of India initiated a technical and financial support scheme
to promote common facilities for treatment of effluents generated from SSI units
located in clusters. Under the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) financial
assistance scheme, 50% subsidy on project capital cost - 25% share each of Central
and State Governments - was provided. As a result, 88 CETPs having total capacity
of 560 MLD have been set up throughout India covering more than 10000 polluting
industries. Considering the coverage of industries under CETPs and the total
pollution load handled by these CETPs, State Pollution Control Boards need to keep
a close watch on their operation. More so because inspection of a large number of
CETPs by Central Pollution Control Board has revealed that, in general, the CETPs
are not performing satisfactorily, largely due to improper operation and maintenance.

Annexure
1.1 Small-scale industries (SSIs) have a very important role in overall industrial development in
India and growth of SSI units has been actively promoted by Government of India to induce
balanced economic growth and to distribute the benefits of industrial development in an
equitable manner. Industries having capital investment up to Rs.10 millions are classified as
SSI units. It is estimated that more than 300,000 SSI units are spread all over India, mainly
in about 867 clusters/industrial estates of the country.
1.2 It is difficult for each industrial unit to provide and operate individual wastewater treatment
plant because of the scale of operations or lack of space or technical manpower. However,
the quantum of pollutants emitted by SSIs clusters may be more than an equivalent large-
scale industry, since the specific rate of generation of pollutants is generally higher because
of the inefficient production technologies adopted by SSIs.
1.3 Keeping in view the key role played by SSI units and the constraints in complying with
pollution control norms individually by these units, The Ministry of Environment and Forests
(MoEF) initiated an innovative technical and financial support scheme to ensure their growth
in an environmentally compatible manner. The scheme promoted common facilities for
treatment of effluents generated from SSI units located in clusters through liberal financial
assistance. The financial assistance provided under this Common Effluent Treatment Plant
(CETP) scheme was as follows:
Loans from financial institutions- 30% of the project capital cost, and
The CETP scheme was instituted initially for a period of 10 years with effect from the year
1991 but MoEF has decided to continue financial assistance under the scheme beyond this
period. Most of the 88 CETPs constructed and commissioned so far were financed under the
CETP scheme of Govt. of India.
1.4 The concept of CETP was adopted as a way to achieve end-of-pipe treatment of combined
wastewater at lower unit cost than could be achieved by individual industries, and to facilitate
discharge, monitoring and enforcement by environmental regulatory agencies and the
investment of substantial government finances in the CETP scheme was justified on the
basis of potential benefits in terms of pollution reduction and environmental improvements.
1.5 Of the 88 CETPs that have been constructed and commissioned so far in the country, the
Central Pollution Control Board has studied performance of 78 CETPs operating throughout
the country. This report summarizes the findings of various performance evaluation studies
carried out by or on behalf of the Central Pollution Control Board.
2. CLASSIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION
2.1 Basic information on the operational CETPs in respect of capacity, year of establishment,
capital cost, name/address of CETP operating agency, treatment scheme, type of industries
in connected industrial area, effluent collection system and effluent disposal point is provided
in Annexure (Tables 1 and Table 2)
2.2 Classification of the operational CETPs on the basis of design capacity is as below:
2.3 Classification of the operational CETPs on the basis of number of member units is as below:
3.1 Overall and treatment stage wise performance of all the CETPs in terms of general
parameters pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD),
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is summarized and provided
in Annexure (Table 3). Sodium (Na) and Chlorides (Cl-) are also shown with general
parameters to indicate nature of TDS.
3.2 Some of the CETPs have also been studied for concentration of toxic metals and special
parameters- Percent sodium (%Na), Sulphates (SO4) and Ammonia (NH3-N) in their raw
influent and treated effluent. These results are provided in Annexure (Table 4)
3.3 Prescribed standards for various parameters for discharge of treated effluents of CETPs into
surface waters and for discharge on land are shown at the end of Tables 3 and Table 4.
Observed values of various parameters in treated effluent have been compared with the
applicable standard based on the ultimate disposal point for each CETP shown in Table 2.
Observed value of various parameters exceeding the prescribed standards in the treated
effluents have been are underlined in the Tables 3 and Tables 4.
3.4 It is observed from the summary of results shown below that of the total 78 CETPs studied,
only 20 (i.e. 25.6%) complied with the prescribed limits for general parameters pH, BOD,
COD and TSS but 15 of these were not able to comply with the prescribed limit for TDS.
Thus, only 5 (i.e. 6.4%) CETPs were complying all general parameters including TDS.

*TDS not determined but likely to be within limits; **CETP was under trial; TDS not determined but Cl exceeded;
***TSS not determined
3.5 High TDS in treated effluent is observed to be a widespread problem. Apart from the five
CETPs that complied with TDS as well as other general parameters, only four other CETPs
complied with TDS limits even though these CETPs did not comply with other general
parameters. Thus, in all, 69 (i.e. 88.5%) out of the 78 CETPs did not complied with TDS
standards.
3.6 It is also observed that salinity, primarily due to salts of sodium, is the primary contributor to
the high TDS problem as high TDS is almost invariably accompanied by high Chlorides and
Sodium concentration. TDS reduction is possible by softening process if TDS is mainly due to
salts of divalent cations but if it is mainly due to salts of mono-valent cations then Reverse
Osmosis (RO) is a technical option . However, the concentrate has to be further evaporated
to get the salts in solid form that may be disposed off in secured landfill.
3.7 The TDS concentration of the wastewaters is mainly due to the inorganic ions in the water
supply and those added during the use of water. In industries such as Tanneries,
Pharmaceutical units, Chemicals manufacturing units and Dye & Dye Intermediates units, the
high TDS in wastewaters can be primarily attributed to addition during the use of water. In all
such cases the best approach for reduction of TDS is to try reduction at source by adopting
cleaner technologies for reduction of net input of chemicals, practicing recovery and recycling
of chemicals. The chemical treatment adopted in the treatment scheme at CETP generally
does not specifically aim at removing these ions. Therefore, reduction in the TDS
concentration of the effluent during its treatment is not expected.
3.8 It is observed from the unit-wise performance data of various CETPs that poor performance
of primary- and secondary-settling units is an important factor responsible for overall poor
performance of CETPs. The efficiency of treatment by the physico-chemical process is
decided by the TSS concentration in the effluent of primary settling unit. Similarly, one of the
main requirements for successful operation of secondary biological unit is the effective
settling of the mixed liquor in secondary settling unit for recycling of biological sludge and
providing clarified effluent. Treatment schemes of almost all the CETPs employ primary
settling as one treatment unit and secondary biological treatment is also employed in most of
the schemes. Sub-level performance of primary and secondary settling units has been
observed in a large number of CETPs.
3.9 A well performing primary settling unit is expected to achieve <50 mg/L TSS in its effluent and
in no case it should exceed 100 mg/L limit. Similarly, a well performing secondary settling unit
easily provides an effluent having <50 mg/L TSS. It is observed that of the 44 primary settling
units studied in different CETPs, 35 were performing poorly as the TSS in effluent of these
units exceeded 50 mg/L, 30 units even did not meet 100 mg/L limit. It is further observed that
of the 51 secondary settling units studied in different CETPs, 35 were performing poorly as
TSS in effluent of these units exceeded 50 mg/L, 30 units even did not meet the prescribed
standard of 100 mg/L. This indicates that there is scope for improvement of the performance
of CETPs by paying attention to the performance of settling units. Things which require
investigations include optimizing the chemical doses, proper flocculation, proper sludge
withdrawal frequency and duration, avoiding short-circuiting in the tank, assessing surface
overflows, solids loading and weir loading, adjusting optimum re-circulation rate in secondary
settling tank.
3.10 In two CETPs of Andhra Pradesh, the Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) units are not able to
give any significant reduction in organic matter or suspended solids. Replacement of DAF
unit with a primary settling unit in Pattancheru CETP, where no primary settling tank exists,
and discontinuation of use of DAF unit in Jeedimetla CETP, where it is installed ahead of
primary settling tank, may be considered for improving efficiency of primary treatment and
reducing operational costs. An effective primary physico-chemical treatment is also expected
to improve overall COD removal efficiency as high COD and TDS in treated effluent is a
major problem in these two CETPs of Andhra Pradesh.
3.11 Dual Media Filter (DMF) unit, which has been employed in treatment schemes of CETPs in
Delhi and at few other places and sand filter unit which has been employed in CETPs of
textile units in Tamilnadu are normally used to improve suspended solids level from near 50
mg/L in primary settling unit’s effluent to near 10 mg/L. Incidentally, it also reduces the
organic matter associated with the suspended matter so removed. It may also remove a
small fraction of organic matter associated with colloidal matter that is coagulated and filtered
during filtration. Filter units should not be depended upon to perform more than the expected
function, as explained. If DMF unit or a rapid sand filter unit is over loaded, it will require
frequent backwashing.
3.12 Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) unit, which has been employed in treatment schemes of
CETPs in Delhi and at few other places is only meant for removing trace organics, such as
pesticides, phenols, etc., and heavy metals, which escape the primary treatment and
therefore should not be loaded with bulk organic matter. If any treatment scheme, with ACF
as its terminal treatment unit, is aimed at achieving an overall efficiency so as to give the final
effluent quality of BOD<30 mg/L and COD<250 mg/L, then ACF unit is most likely to be
subjected to high COD, or even high BOD, thereby resulting in an early exhaustion of its
activated carbon bed. Therefore, in treatment schemes aimed to achieve this quality, ACF as
a terminal treatment unit can be said to be a misfit because very frequent replacement or
regeneration of the bed is neither easy nor economically affordable.
3.13 Most of the CETPs in textile units of Tirupur and Karur have employed treatment scheme
having physico-chemical treatment followed by sand filtration and stabilization tank. Only a
few have adopted treatment scheme having biological secondary treatment. CETPs of the
former type require special efforts in optimizing chemical dozing for their greater dependency
on physico-chemical treatment.
3.14 Treatment schemes of Odhav CETP (Gujrat), Nandesari CETP (Gujrat), Sarigam CETP
(Gujrat), Dhareshwar CETP (Gujrat), Sachin-II CETP (Gujrat) have three-stage treatment and
that of Tarapur CETP (Maharashtra) has four-stage treatment but still these plants were not
meeting standards. This reflects gross neglect in operation. If biological treatment units are
properly operated and full attention is paid to proper settling at different stages of treatment
as explained in section 3.8 above, performance of these plants could be greatly improved.
4. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
4.1 Information on hazardous waste generation, handling, storage and disposal practices in
CETPs is given in Annexure (Table 5). State wise scenario is given below:
Andhra Pradesh: Hazardous waste generated from one CETP (Jeedimelta) is stored within
CETPs’ premises and other CETP (Pattancheru) is member in TSDF at Dindigul
Delhi: Hazardous waste generated from CETPs is stored within CETPs’ premises and no
common hazardous waste disposal facility has been developed. A common temporary
hazardous waste storage facility is being developed and is expected to be in use by
December 2005. The hazardous waste storage provided at CETP Wazirpur had been filled
up and large quantity of hazardous sludge removed from the CETP was kept at the site for
temporary hazardous waste facility which has been taken away for disposal at unknown
place.
Haryana: Hazardous waste generated from CETP is stored within CETP’s premises and no
scientific hazardous waste treatment and disposal facility has been developed.
Karnataka: Hazardous waste generated from CETPs is stored within CETPs’ premises and
no common scientific hazardous waste treatment and disposal facility has been developed.
MP: Hazardous waste generated from CETP is discharged into drain and no scientific
hazardous waste treatment and disposal facility has been developed. Thus the purpose of
removal of pollutants is defeated.
Punjab: Hazardous waste generated from one CETP is stored within CETP’s premises and
other CETP is un-operational. No common scientific hazardous waste treatment and disposal
facility has been developed.
Rajasthan: Hazardous waste generated from CETPs is stored within CETPs’ premises or
discharged on land elsewhere. No common scientific hazardous waste treatment and
disposal facility has been developed.
UP: Hazardous waste generated from 2 CETPs is stored within CETPs’ premises and from
Kanpur CETP is disposed of on land by civic authorities. No other common scientific
hazardous waste treatment and disposal facility has been developed
West Bengal: Temporary hazardous waste storage facility is under construction for Calcutta
Leather Complex. A secured landfill site is also proposed.
5. AREA / CETP SPECIFIC ISSUES
Jeedimetla (JETL) CETP: Colored and high TDS effluents from different dye and dye
intermediate and chemical industries are received by this CETP. The quantity of effluent
received is about 1000-1200 m3/D. It provides chemical flocculation as primary treatment,
storage at buffer tank and followed by biological oxidation after mixing with municipal sewage
with the ratio of 1:1.6. The CETP has been successful in treating organic matter (BOD) but
discharge more TDS into the sewage system that joins with Amberpet Sewage Treatment
Plant. Although to a lesser extent Multi Stage Evaporator System was in operation, yet the
CETP was discharging high TDS (15,000 mg/L) in the liquid effluent. Mixing of industrial
effluent with sewage thus makes the total effluent unfit for use for irrigation.
Performance of Amberpet STP is not satisfactory. It merely allows the wastewater for two
hours sedimentation and discharge. More than 50% of the received wastewater are bypassed
in the unit and sold to the nearby farmers on charge basis by the Water and Sewerage
Board. JETL also charged for discharging the treated effluent into the STP.
Patancheru (PETL) CETP: The CETP receives effluents mainly from pharmaceutical and
other chemical industries and sewage of BHEL Township through tankers and operates a
two-stage ASP system employing pure oxygen system. The pure oxygen storage facility
exists with in the plan premises. Diffused Air Floatation (DAF) is the primary treatment, which
removes suspended solids and part of organic and inorganic pollutants. Although the organic
matter (BOD) treated to the satisfactory level, yet very high level of TDS generally escape the
treatment process. APPCB has also allowed individual unit to discharge COD and TDS upto
15,000 mg/l into the CETPs. The reduction in TDS is to the extent of the industrial effluents
are diluted by sewage. The TDS levels as high as 7000 mg/l are discharged into a small
channel, although the disposal into a sewage treatment plant is in progress in the form of a
pipeline. The hazardous sludge is dumped into the landfill site. APPCB shall either reconsider
reducing the TDS limits for industrial discharge into the CETPs and /or installation of
RO/Nano System followed by MSES so as to contain TDS at the CETP and thus protecting
the water resources. Else it may turn out to be yet another Tirupur.
Bollaram CETP: This CETP has been closed down now. The CETP was having 24
members. Dr. Reddy Laboratory was one of the members and a major contributor to the
CETP. This unit set up its own ETP that became the main reason for closure of the CETP.
All the member units have switched over to PETL or JETL.
There are 28 recognised industrial estates in Delhi. In order to mitigate the environmental
hazards due to discharge of untreated effluents, the Honour’ble Supreme Court directed
Delhi Govt. to build common effluent treatment plants (CETPs). The Delhi Government
entrusted the work to Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) who contracted with
National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) in 1996 for the design of
CETPs for the industrial estates. NEERI proposed 15 CETPs, their designs and locations,
some of them receiving wastewater from more than one industrial estate. Construction of ten
CETPs has been completed, two is in progress and three are in abeyance.
A comprehensive performance evaluation of the CETPs of Delhi was taken up in two phases
from June 27 to July 6 and from August 25 to 28, 2005 to assess their capability for effecting
treatment at full capacity during their operation. NEERI carried out jar tests at each CETP to
optimize the chemical doses before operation for performance evaluation. During the study,
stage-wise performance of treatment was determined. The CETPs having physico-chemical
treatment were studied at the full design surface loading rates of tube settlers, DMF and ACF
beds but for 9 hours only. The Mangolpuri CETP, which employs biological process, was
evaluated at half the design flow, which is the present flow. The plant is being operated at this
flow on a continuous basis. Samples were collected after 2 hours of starting the run, every
hour, for the next 7 hours except for Okhla Industrial Area CETP where the sampling had to
be stopped after 4 hours due to non-availability of flow. Samples were collected at five points
i.e. before equalization, after equalization, tube settler, DMF and ACF. The composite
samples of effluent after equalization and final treated effluent, prepared on equal volume
basis, were analyzed for various parameters as prescribed in treated effluent quality for
CETPs. Samples collected at other two points i.e. after tube settler and DMF were analyzed
for pH, BOD, COD, TSS and TDS. The main conclusions and recommendations of the CPCB
study are as follows:
a. GT Karnal Road, Mayapuri and Badli CETPs are meeting the notified standards.
Mangolpuri, SMA, Nangaloi, Wazirpur and Okhla I.A CETPs are not complying in terms of
TDS only. Lawrence Road CETP is not complying in terms of BOD and SS. It is felt that
Lawrence Road CETP was not able to meet the standards in terms of BOD due to high level
of organic matter in the influent
b. DMF and ACF units were included in the CETPs to improve the effluent quality
beyond what is required under the notified standards. It was observed that in general the
performance of these units was sub-optimal.
d. The advanced level treatment units, dual media filter (DMF) and activated carbon
adsorption (ACA) bed, are meant to polish the final effluent. Removal of TSS by DMF
reduces not only the TSS in the final effluent but also its BOD and COD concentration, which
is associated with the organic fraction of TSS. The ACA is used to remove trace organics,
such as pesticides, phenols, etc., and heavy metals, which escape the primary treatment. It is
seen that wherever the TSS input to the DMF is more than 100 mg/L the final effluent also
has a high TSS concentration. Likewise, the ACA bed also should not be loaded with bulk
organic matter. It seems that wherever the input COD to DMF is more than 100 mg/L, the
BOD and COD of the final effluent is more than that which is expected from advanced level
treatment units (COD<30 mg/L). Application of large amounts of COD to ACA bed would also
result in an early exhaustion of its treatment capacity.
e. The TDS concentration of the effluents is mainly due to the inorganic ions in the
water supply and those added during the use of water. The chemical treatment adopted in
the treatment scheme does not specifically aim at removing these ions, except that which is
incidental to neutralization. Therefore any appreciable change in the in the TDS concentration
of the effluent during its treatment is not seen. The TDS concentration in the influent to the
Wazirpur, Mangolpuri, Jhilmil, Okhla I.A. and SMA CETPs is more than 3,000 mg/L high and
consequently the final does not meet the prescribed limit of 2,100 mg/L.
f. The effluent of the CETPs meet the standards for heavy metals, which were
determined and cyanide, for both irrigation and discharge in surface waters.
CETP wise comments on conveyance system
Wazirpur CETP(24 MLD: The wastewater from the industrial estate is collected in an open
drain near the CETP. The flow in the drain was measured to be around 35 MLD. DJB has laid
a new conveyance system for industrial effluent but it has not been commissioned because
the terminal pumping station is yet to be constructed by DSIDC. A large JJ slum cluster
having around 50,000 inhabitants also contributes wastewater. This flow should be
segregated. In case the flow to the CETP, after segregation of flows from non-industrial origin
is found to be more than 24 MLD, which is the design capacity of the CETP, the plant
capacity should be augmented.
Mangolpuri CETP (2.4 MLD): About 1.2 MLD effluent was reaching CETP. Effluent from
both Phase I and Phase II is reaching the CETP. Activated sludge process is used but
effluent from both PST and SST contains a high concentration of SS.
Mayapuri CETP (24 MLD): About 6 MLD effluent was reaching CETP. Sewage from
residential localities other than Mayapuri industrial area has been now diverted. Drains in
Mayapuri area were under construction; more flow is expected from the area.
Lawrence Road CETP (12 MLD): About 2 MLD effluent was reaching the CETP.About 3
MLD flow was estimated flowing in several open drains leading to Sahkurbasti drain.
Jhilmil CETP (16.8 MLD): About 2 MLD effluent was reaching the CETP from Jhilmil
industrial area. DJB had laid a new conveyance system in the Friends Colony industrial area
but was yet to be fully connected to CETP. Conveyance system had not been laid in few
lanes of the Friends Colony industrial area. A cluster of industries North of GT road near
Sansar factory was still not connected to the CETP.
Badli CETP (12 MLD): A new conveyance system for the area had been laid. The flow in the
main drain was 3.0 MLD. At a number of places in the collection system the pH of the effluent
varied between 2 and 6 indicating that the individual ETPs of some units where pH correction
and separation of sludge is carried out were not working. The old collection system was
severely damaged due to the acidic effluents. There was water logging and ponding of
effluents at several places
Okhla Industrial Area CETP (24 MLD): About 2 MLD effluent was reaching the CETP.
Effluent from industries of Phase I from industries located on west side of the Sarita Vihar
drain was being discharged into Sarita Vihar drain. Untapped effluent also flows in an open
drain near Z-Block in Phase II. It is estimated that if total effluent generated from Phase I and
Phase II is tapped then more flow will reach CETP.
GT Karnal Road CETP (6 MLD): About 3 MLD effluent was reaching the CETP. Most of the
industries were connected to conveyance system.
SMA CETP (12 MLD): Only 0.5 to 1.0 MLD flow was reaching the CETP, which was to
receive effluent from SMA, SSI and Rajasthan Udyog Nagar industrial areas. Most of the
drains in the industrial areas were choked and the effluent was seeping into the ground.
Large-scale water logging was observed on roads and open spaces in SSI and SMA
industrial areas. There were large cesspools on both sides of the Delhi-Panipat railway line.
Nangaloi CETP (12 MLD): The CETP was receiving effluents from Udyog Nagar and
Nangloi industrial area and was operational with 1.5 MLD flow. Some units of Nangloi
industrial area and Udyog Nagar industrial area were discharging effluent on the railway land
and in an open unlined drain. It is expected that once the collection system is cleaned and
made operational the flow will increase.
Kundli CETP, Sonipat: Kondli CETP at Industrial Estate-Kundli treats effluents from
Milk/food processing, textile dyeing, rubber, and leather units. The treated effluent is
discharged into municipal drain and the sludge is kept within the CETP premises. Influent
flow was low, about 60% of the designed flow. More polluted wastewater was received at
CETP but by-passed. Plant achieved designed efficiency but on very high cost due to high
energy consumption. The inlet feed pump not commensurate with actual (less flow). O&M
cost is neither agreed nor paid by the members. With members backing out the plant actually
receives only sewage, Onsite testing facility not available although space exists. The O& M
Cost had increased phenomenally. The Industries’ Association non-existent, primary
responsibility of CETP operation was at stake. Member units were (practically) backing out
from CETP. Untreated or partially treated wastewater from (member) industries received at
CETP was by-passed where as their combined sewage is treated
5.4 Common Effluent Treatment Plants in Gujrat and Maharashtra
Most of the CETPs in Gujarat and Maharashtra were non-compliant to prescribed norms
mainly due to various shortfalls occurred right from designing stage to operational stage of
CETPs. Few of them are discussed below.
Influent characteristics and hydraulic load are not representative of actual design criteria. For
example, in Vapi, Gujarat the design concentration of influent COD is 1000mg/l but actual
influent concentration of COD is more than 3000mg/l. This has happened mainly due to
improper database, industries were not responsive in database preparation at design stage
of CETP. Also frequent change of product particularly in small-scale sector is another
serious problem in maintaining influent characteristics as per design criteria of CETP. Similar
trend is observed in case of other CETPs too.
Many important parameters like NH3 – N, Phenol and other toxicants including heavy metals
were not included into the design aspects of CETP, resulting in improper treatment and non-
compliance of prescribed norms. Toxic effluents some time destroy whole biomass of CETP.
Most of the CETPs particularly in Gujarat were commissioned within a short period of time
without conducting proper treatability study of influent. It is indeed another major shortfall in
designing a proper and effective CETP.
Modular design of ETP is an important concept in proper handling of variable hydraulic load.
Unfortunately, except in few CETPs, no CETP has modular arrangement.
Due to absence of adequate equalization capacity and guard pond, CETPs are not able to
contain shock load. To avoid such shock load CETPs are forced to bypass its effluent
without any treatment. However, many CETPs off late either augmenting their existing
equalization tank or commissioning additional equalization tank to handle shock load.
Vapi CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 03.01.2005 the treated effluent
was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD, TDS, NH3-N, SO4 and Chlorides.
Effluent was overflowing from sludge beds and housekeeping was poor.
Nandesari CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 20/21.09.2004, the
treated effluent was meeting the standards in terms of pH, BOD and TSS but COD,
Chlorides, SO4 and TDS were exceeding the limit. COD level (295 mg/L) was slightly higher
than standard of 250 mg/l. The sludge drying beds were found full. The effluent collection
system is not fool proof.
Ankleshwar CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 18/19.11.2004, the
treated effluent was meeting the standards in terms of pH, BOD, COD, and TSS but TDS
was exceeding the limit. Besides, NH3-N level (56 mg/L) was also beyond limit of 50 mg/L
The sludge was being dumped in open yard with impervious layer. The effluent collection
system is not fool proof. Special measures for reduction for NH3-N and TDS are required.
Sachin (0.5 MLD) CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 11.01.2005, the
treated effluent was meeting the standards in terms of pH, BOD, COD and TSS but TDS
was exceeding the limit. The effluent collection system is not fool proof.
Sachin (50 MLD) CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 11.01.2005, only
primary treatment units were operational whereas the secondary treatment units are under
commissioning. The final effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD,
TDS and Chlorides.
Sarigum CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 3/4.01.2005, the treated
effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD, TDS and NH3-N. The
effluent collection system is not fool proof and therefore the plant receives very less flow.
Dhareshwar CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 19.01.2005, the
treated effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD and COD. CETP does not
have laboratory facility. The effluent collection system is not fool proof.
Jetpur CETP (Gujrat): The plant receives 70% industrial effluent from member units and
30% city sewage. At the time of inspection of the plant on 19.01.2005, the treated effluent
was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD, TSS, TDS and NH3-N. CETP does
not have laboratory facility. The effluent collection system is not fool proof.
Panoli CETP (Gujrat): At the time of inspection of the plant on 23/24.09.2004, the treated
effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, Chlorides, and
NH3-N. The sludge was being dumped in open land with impervious layer. The effluent
collection system is not fool proof.
Dombivelli CETP Phase-I (Maharashtra): At the time of recent inspection of the plant on
17.02.2005, the sludge drying beds were found full and there was no space left for fresh
sludge. Leakages of effluent were also observed from secondary clarifier and pipeline
conveying effluent to bio filter. Over-all house keeping was unsatisfactory.
Dombivelli CETP Phase-II (Maharashtra): At the time of recent inspection of the plant on
17.02.2005, the surface aerators were being replaced therefore samples collected are not
representative of normal operation conditions.
Tarapur CETP (Maharashtra): At the time of last inspection of the plant on 26/27.10.2004,
the treated effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of COD, TSS, TDS, NH3-N and
SO4. Inspecting team also suspected dilution of waste with fresh water by operating agency.
Taloja CETP (Maharashtra): At the time of recent inspection of the plant on 16.02.2005, the
treated effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, NH3-N,
Chlorides and SO4 . At the time of inspection, two surface aerators were under maintenance
therefore samples collected are not representative of normal operation conditions. The plant
does not have auxiliary power supply.
5.5 Common Effluent Treatment Plants in MP
Govindpura CETP (MP): At the time of monitoring of the plant on 24/25.11.2004, the the
treated effluent was not meeting the standards in terms of BOD, COD and TSS. One
brewery unit contributes about 995 KLD of wastewater. In the treatment scheme, no sludge
drying beds have been provided and no secondary settling tank has been employed after
aeration tank, the terminal treatment unit. Modifications in treatment scheme seem
necessary. The plant does not have auxiliary power supply.
Phillore CETP: The Phillore CETP uses anaerobic filter followed by ASP for treatment of
effluent mainly from tannery units and have an inflow capacity of 0.035 MLD. The CETP is
located at Ramdaspura Noormahal Road Phillore in Jalandhar District. 28 units are the
members of the CETP. The treated effluent goes to STP-Phillore and the sludge is being kept
within the CETP premises. Dr Ambedkar Leather Association is running the CETP. The
capital cost in 1996 was 28 lakhs.
Jalandhar CETP: The ASP based Jalandhar CETP at Leather Complex Jalandhar has an
inflow of 1.5 MLD for treatment of effluent mainly from tannery units. The treated effluent is
discharged into open drain (Kala Singha) and the sludge is being disposed of
indiscriminately. PSIEC is entrusted with the operation, and maintenance of the CETP. The
Jalandhar CETP is currently under stabilization as it was closed for over two years. The CLRI
recommended construction of Primary Effluent Treatment Plants (PETPs). 29 units are the
members of the CETP. Many units do not have PETPs and some are also not operating them
properly. Most of them are not capable of complying prescribed primary standards as per
CLRI. Some of the tannery units are also refusing to obtain consent under the Water Act.
There is a mismatch in the estimated and actual wastewater generation from individual units.
The PSIEC also does not own any responsibility to operate the plant so as to comply the
prescribed standards. The matter is sub-judice in reference to Civil Writ Petition No CWP No
5307 of 2000 in the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court filed by the member units of
CETP. Most of the industries are operational and highly polluted combined wastewater from
tanneries is discharged, into a municipal drain (Kala Singha drain), which ultimately meets R.
Satluj. It was understood that in the 20 km stretch of the drain the wastewater is partly utilized
in irrigation by farmers. This brings up a very serious environmental situation. Punjab
Pollution Control Board should plead with the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana for
taking cognizance of hazards associated with discharge of untreated tannery wastewater. Till
such time the case is resolved, the industries are required to either completely closedown or
immediately stop chrome tanning.
Balotra CETP: CETP Balotra is of 6 MLD capacity, however it received 12 MLD influent. As
a result, 6 MLD was being discharged directly in to the river, without any treatment. The
reason for inadequate capacity is the increase in the number of water polluting industries to
600 from 319 at the time when the feasibility study was conducted by NEERI. Majority of
industries are cotton textile processing units comprising mainly of dyeing and printing. The
major process are desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, printing and finishing.
The cost of Rs.2.95 crores was borne by the trust with the help of Ministry of Textiles. No
grant was availed from MoEF. The CETP has been operated and maintained by Balotra
Water Pollution Control & Research Foundation Trust (BWPCRFT). The BWPCRFT is
establishing another 12 MLD CETP (Physico-chemical treatment + biological) at Balotra. It
was in initial stage of construction.
The CETP was not achieving the designed efficiency level. The CETP was not initially
designed with O&G separator. The O&G separator had been added to the CETP but was not
working properly. There were two floating type aerators provided in the equalization tank but
were not working properly. Effluent from primary and secondary settling tanks mostly over
flowed because of launder problem resulting into total submergence of weirs. The launder’s
overflow goes to the aeration tank. Waste papers and foam goes to the flocculator and not
cleaned regularly. During the power cut the CETP does not run, as there is no backup.
Chemical and biological sludge is removed once in a day. Both types of sludges were
dumped together, all the sludge drying beds were full, the dried sludge was dumped
unscientifically within the CETP premises and covered with a polythene partially.
Jasol CETP: The Jasol CETP was not commissioned till during December 2004 when last
inspected. The 2.5 MLD CETP was constructed for treating wastewater from the 60 textile
dyeing and printing industries by Jasol Water Polluting Control & Treatment Trust with a
capital cost of Rs.2.89 crores. It was a 100% grant. The CETP was designed by NEERI
and construction and commissioning by Air Effodetox Incineration Ltd., Mumbai. It was
commissioned on 15.10.2004 for trial run with the DG set for three days. Permanent
electrical connection from the State Electricity Board was awaited. The entire industrial
effluent was being discharged in to the Luni River without any treatment. The
commissioning of the plant was expected by the end of January 2005.
Bithuja CETP: The Bithuja CETP was not commissioned till during December 2004 when
last inspected. The 30 MLD CETP was under construction for treating the effluent from 161
textile bleaching and mercerizing units at Bithuja Industrial Area. The capital cost has been
estimated as 11.5 crorers. The treatment system consists of screen chamber, grit chamber,
equalization tank, primary settling, sludge drying beds and waste stabilization ponds. The
effluent was being discharged in to river Luni without any treatment.
Jodhpur CETP: The 20 MLD CETP at Sangaria has been established by Jodhpur
Pradushan Niwaran Trust at a cost of Rs.10.0 crores at Industrial Area, jodhpur to treat the
wastewater from 150 textile units and 100 stainless steel rolling mills. The CETP was
designed by NEERI, construction and commissioned by Hydro Air Technonic Pvt. Ltd.,
Mumbai. It was commissioned in July 2004, but could not be stabilized due to faulty blower
till December 2004 when last inspected. As a result it was not being operated continuously.
The treatment system consists of screen chamber, grit chamber, separate equalization tanks
for acidic and alkaline waste, flash mixer, clariflocculator, aeration tank (diffused aerators),
secondary settling tank, sand and activated carbon filters and sludge decanter. Separate
channels have been constructed for carrying wastewater from textile units to CETP. Closed
pipeline has been laid for carrying wastewater from rolling mills (stainless steel) to CETP.
The effluent flow measured was 12 MLD. Alkaline to acidic effluent flow was in the ratio of
3:1. pH of alkaline effluent was 8 and that of acidic effluent was 1.
Bhiwadi CETP: The Bhiwadi CETP with a capacity of 6 MLD has been provided by RIICO in
RIICO Industrial Area for the treatment of combined industrial and domestic wastewater. As
estimated, 2.5 MLD of industrial effluent will be treated along with 3.5 MLD of domestic
effluent. Around 50-55 industries will be contributing its effluent to CETP along with domestic
effluent from the industrial area as well as from the city. On the day of inspection, the CETP
was under trial run. The CETP was likely to be handed-over to RIICO by November 2004.
Pali CETPs: There are three CETPs in pali having installed capacity 23 MLD were treating
about 9 MLD mixed industrial waste and sewage, and still about 10-20% of the effluent
generated from Pali city was being discharged without any treatment. At the time of
inspection on 03.07.2002 CETP Unit-I was found closed since March 2000 due to unknown
reasons and capacity utilization for both Unit-II and Unit-III was 60% only. More than 50% of
the effluent reaching CETP I & II was being let out through the emergency outlet to join the
River Bandi. There was no proper arrangement for safe disposal of about 300 MT/month
hazardous sludge and it was being dumped at Puniyata road near CETP-III. Treated
effluents of CETPs were not meeting the standards.
Machheri CETP, Jaipur: The Machheri CETP was closed during inspection because the
five member tanneries, which process raw hides had been closed by SPCB on account of
not providing the primary treatment for soak liquor. Biomass was being developed for restart
of the CETP. There are 9 tanneries connected to CETP, four processing wet blues to
finished leather only. There was no arrangement for disposal of hazardous sludge.
There are thirty-three CETPs in Tamil Nadu. During the current financial year, a total of 26
CETP(s) in Tirupur, Karur and Vellore districts in Tamil Nadu were monitored. The salient
features highlighting issues connected to CETP(s) are listed as below:
i. A total of eight CETP(s) handle the industrial waste waters from 281 units (Textile) with
capacities ranging from 1.5 to 10 MLD and discharge the treated waste waters into river
Noyyal which ultimately gets impounded in Orathupalayam dam. The dam water is meant to
be used as irrigation water.
ii. The results of analysis clearly show that the CETP(s) have been designed towards
primary treatment only using lime, alum and poly-electrolytes as coagulation agents.
iii. The incoming TDS in the ETP range between 6000-9000 mg/l and slight increase was
noticed in the treated effluents, perhaps due to soluble fractions of coagulants during
treatment. As such CETP(s) remove only the colour and other suspended organic matter.
iv. As against standard (2100 mg/l) for TDS, the existing TDS levels above 5000 mg/l is a
severe gross violation. The Noyyal River and ground water survey in Tirupur shows that TDS
has grossly contaminated the waters. As such the water is not fit for irrigation in the
downstream stretches.
v. The CETP(s) remove only 40% of the COD, BOD and most of the time the BOD of the
treated waste waters is above 100 mg/l as against limiting standard of 30 mg/l for discharge
into river waters. This is yet another non-compliance by the CETP(s).
vi. It is generally seen that Sodium (Na+) and Chloride (Cl-) ions dominate in the
wastewaters indicating use of common salt (NaCl) in the dyeing processes. Relatively lower
levels of Sulphates (SO4--) indicate that Sodium Sulphate (Na2SO4) is used to a much lesser
extent.
vii. Generally Sodium Chloride is recoverable (50-70%) from Dye bath solutions using nano
filtration membranes and recovered Brine is reusable in dyeing processes along with low
hardness water recovered through Reverse Osmosis processes. Almost 33 individual Units
are in the process of installing R.O./Nano Systems followed by Multi Stage evaporator
systems (MSES) to attain zero discharge from these Units.
viii. In order to reverse the ecological damages in the area, the existing CETP(s) shall also
require upgradation in terms of R.O/Nano systems followed by MSES to constrain high TDS
discharges into the river. The approximate expenditure towards this has been worked out as
high as 126 crores Indian Rupees and almost 35 crores for routing operation and
maintenance of these systems.
ix. It is worthwhile to mention that all the CETP(s) in Tamil Nadu has enjoyed part funding
from Government of India (MoEF) and failed to keep pollution under control.
x. South Zonal Office of CPCB is interacting with companies that may deliver 97% of NaCl
recovery which shall help in alleviating the need for a MSES (which is expensive to operate)
in CETP(s).
Yet another 8 Nos of CETP(s) are in operation at Karur where primarily yarn dyeing is
prevailing. The treated effluents are being discharged into river Amaravati basin, which is a
tributary to river Cauvery. The salient features are given below:
i) The design of CETP(s) is similar to that of CETP(s) in Tirupur and as such fail to
constrain TDS during treatment process. Though not many complaints are arising from the
area, yet the ground and surface waters may be subjected to gradual increase in TDS and
shortly the Tirupur scenario could be repeated.
ii) An action plan as a preventive strategy shall be formulated and implemented on the lines
of CETP(s) at Tirupur by TNPCB. The common salt (NaCl) recovered shall be reusable in the
dye house.
iii) Huge quantities of hazardous CETP sludges are being stored in CETP premises that
require safe disposal.
There are 10 nos of CETP(s) in operation in the Vellore district and handling industrial
effluents from Tannery sector and discharging treated effluents in Palar river basin. There is
no water flow in River Palar at present due to construction of many water reservoirs across
the tributaries in AP and Karnataka. Due to high permeability of riverbed, the treated effluents
infiltrate into the soil and almost little (or no) discharge is visible in the river. The salient
features are listed as below:
i) Generally there are three types of wastewater from tanneries i.e soaking effluent,
chromium effluent and other wastewater. Soaking wastewater containing high TDS is
commonly allowed for solar evaporation either in the premises or at CETPs.
ii) It is reported that about 600 and odd numbers of tannery units are in operation in the
District of Vellore. Most of the tanneries are linked with CETPs and some are having
individual effluent treatment plants. The effluents are generally high in TDS and BOD and
CETP(s) also receives chromium in significant concentrations.
iii) The designed capacities of the CETPs are ranging from 1000 m3/D to 4400 m3/D. The
CETP comprising collection/equalization tank, Chemical flocculation, primary clarifier,
anaerobic lagoon/aeration tank, secondary clarifier and sludge filter (Mechanical filter). Some
of the CETPs are having centralized solar evaporation systems for evaporating high TDS
effluents and some are having Chrome Recovery Plant (CRP).
iv) Only a few CETPs are meeting the standards in terms of BOD and none of the CETPs
are meeting the standard in terms of TDS as stipulated by Tamil Nadu Pollution Control
Board. None of the CETPs have been issued either Consent Order or direction by TNPCB.
v) As per the direction of Hon’ble Supreme Court, all the units generating the sludge out of
ETP operation should be disposed with in the premises by providing a secured land fill as per
the guidelines and norms stipulated by CPCB. But none of the CETPs which were monitored
had the secured land fill. Hazardous waste disposal facilities were not found scientifically
sound. Chromium containing wastes had been dumped in unscientific manner that have to be
taken to secured landfill. Common TSDF is required for this purpose.
Kanpur CETP
The USAB based Kanpur CETP at Jajmau has an inflow capacity of 36 MLD mainly treats
tannery effluent. 334 units are the members of the CETP. The treated effluent is used for
irrigation and disposed in Ganga River. The sludge is disposed on land. Sludge lifting by
Kanpur Nagar Nigam is highly irregular and mostly dumped near the by-pass channel leading
to River Ganga. The CETP is being run by UP Jal Nigam. Although the plant is operational
but is not being maintained properly. Untreated sewage gets bypassed to Ganga River.
Pumps at central sewage pumping station were not being properly operated and maintained.
Pumps in tannery conveyance system were not regularly operated during power cut for want
of diesel. 10 out of 13 pumps are non operational. Plant operates on less than 70% treatment
efficiency. Tannery effluent to sewage (T: S) blending ratio is disturbed from 1:3 to 1:1.5. The
capacity of the plant is only partially utilized as only 28 % of the designed flow reaches the
plant. The PETPs at individual units are not working properly resulting in high Cr and SS.
Also some units are not paying O & M costs. The plant is in state of poor economy due to non
/ irregular payment of O & M cost by State Govt. Due to heavy power shortage (load
shedding for 5 hrs) plant as well as pumping stations remain non-operational. This results in
discharge of untreated tannery wastewater into River Ganga
Unnao CETP
The Activate Sludge Process based Unnao CETP at Site-II, UPSIDC Indl Area has an inflow
2.15 MLD. It mainly treats tannery waste. Only 21 units are the members of the CETP. The
treated effluent is discharged into municipal drain (Loni) and the sludge was being kept within
the CETP premises. The Unnao Tanneries Pollution Control Co was running the CETP. Plant
achieves designed efficiency. PETPs in some units were not operated properly. Inspite of all
the required units having CRPs, the plant at times received high Chromium in raw
wastewater. Innovative efforts on pilot scale (Phyto-remediation of hazardous sludge) were
made for better performance. Disposal of sludge requires additional space and also
considerable improvement, as it was not in proper shape.
Mathura CETP
The Activate Sludge Process based Mathura CETP at Mathura Indl Area has an inflow
capacity of 6.25 MLD. It mainly treats effluents form Textiles (Cotton) dying/printing units.
Only 30 units are the members of the CETP. The treated effluent is discharged into municipal
drain and the sludge was being kept within the CETP premises. The Mathura Industrial Area
Pollution. Control Co. Ltd was running the CETP. The capital cost in 1997 was 188 lakhs
Inlet flow is low, about 70% of the designed flow. Plant is operational but on less than 50%
efficiency. Plant operation is not proper. Equipment downtime is long. Conveyance system is
in bad shape. Significant content of floating oil was observed in raw wastewater. Onsite
testing facility is not in operational state since long even though space and equipment exist.
Hazardous solid waste is indiscriminately disposed of by the member units. Cost of treatment
has increased significantly from Rs 0.74/Kl. to approx Rs. 12/Kl.
ii. In the leather complex, it was roughly estimated that about 1000 MT of raw hides will be
processed thereby generating more or less 30 MLD of polluted liquid effluent. For the
treatment of 30 MLD wastewater from the whole complex, six modules of Common Effluent
Treatment Plant of capacity 5 MLD each was proposed. It was also decided that Four
Modules will be constructed and commissioned by the West Bengal State Government
through Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) and the rest Two will be
managed by the BOT Party i.e. Dalmia & Co.
iii. The modules 1 & 2 had been already commissioned by the State Government, reportedly
in March’ 2004, whereas the construction of other two modules 3 & 4 were in advanced stage
and were expected to be commissioned by January 2005. For want of influent, the modules 1
& 2 were not in operation. It was observed that for the module 5 & 6 (to be constructed by
Dalmia & Co), construction has been started.
iv. The effluent treatment system for all the six modules will be identical in design. Modules 1
& 2 were already constructed and consists of Equalization (in 2 compartments with diffused
aeration), Primary Clarifier, Diffused Aeration (in 3 compartments) and Secondary Clarifier in
each module.
v. The treated effluent is designed to be discharged to Storm Water Channel (SW Channel),
which meets River Vidyadhari at a distance of about 15 kms from the area. The river
ultimately meets the Bay of Bengal.
vi. For the management of Sludge, provision of Sludge Thickener (Filter Press) and also 12
Sludge Drying Beds (SDBs) as standby had been commissioned for the module 1 & 2 and
was seen under trial operation. There are six filter presses for each module and each filter
press was seen having 75 plates. The filter presses were designed to operate for 8
cycles/day having 2 hours cycle operation and sludge filtering capacity of 3.2 MT/day/module.
vii. For storing the Sludge (hazardous waste), a hazardous waste landfill facility will be
developed in 51 acres of land, for which Draft Project Report (DPR) was also submitted by
Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI). As this will take time, a temporary arrangement of
secured land filling is under construction in the CETP premises for storing the sludge for
about 5000 m3 – 6000 m3.
viii. For the transportation of effluent from the member tannery units, 8 numbers of Effluent
Pumping Stations (EPS) have been made. From the pumping stations effluent will be lifted to
the Common Holding Tank already constructed near the CETP of capacity 30 MLD. The 5
pipelines from the 5 EPS managed by KMDA leading to the common holding tank (total
designed flow 20 MLD). have been commissioned. The rest 3 pumping lines from the 3 EPS
of total flow 10 MLD is yet to be constructed by Dalmia & Co.
ix. For the Chrome tanned leather-manufacturing units, a common Chrome Recovery Unit
(CRU) is under process of installation. The total capacity will be 360 m3 in 3 modules for 109
interested member tanneries, which are chromium Sulfate consuming units. The other
chrome tanning units will install chrome recovery units on their own The 2 modules of 120 m3
capacity each CRU are being constructed near the Common Holding Tank.
x. As the tannery units have not yet started their operation and moreover, as the connecting
pipelines to the main Trunk from the individual member units have not yet been joined, the
CETP is not getting any effluent till date and becoming non-functional.
6. RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 In general, the performance of CETPs has been found to be very unsatisfactory, largely
because of poor operation and maintenance. Therefore, the State Pollution Control Boards
should conduct regular monitoring of CETPs and persuade them to ensure proper operation
and maintenance failing which they should initiate action against negligent agencies and
wilful defaulters.
6.2 Achieving standards for treated effluent quality from CETPs is dependent on meeting the
designed criteria of inlet quality to the CETPs that inter alia depends on effluent quality from
each industry. The State Pollution Control Boards are required to prescribe standards for
discharge effluent to CETP from each industry and enforce the same.
6.4 CETP operating agencies should engage experts to advice them from time to time for proper
operation and maintenance of CETP besides employing skilled manpower.
6.5 High TDS in the raw influent reaching CETPs and, as a result, in treated effluent of CETPs is
a major cause of concern, more so because it is generally caused by high salinity which
requires costly treatments such as Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nano Filtration Systems
followed by Multi Stage evaporator systems (MSES). Area specific thoughtful approach is
required to tackle this problem. First attempt should be reduction in release of TDS
contributing chemicals from problem industries by adopting cleaner production technologies
and recovery and recycling of chemicals from the waste streams. Second option should be
treatment of waste stream for TDS at the level of individual industry. Treatment of TDS at the
CETP should be the last option unless some special conditions demand so. State Pollution
Control Boards should investigate all the TDS related problem areas and compel the
industries/CETPs for its solution.
6.6 The State Pollution Control Boards may consider prescribing location specific regulations for
the control of TDS at the industry level. Setting time limits in future for compliance of new
regulations, compliance of which requires significant investment, is an industry-friendly and
effective approach. The same approach is suggested for prescribing location specific
regulations for the control of TDS at the industry level.
6.7 Capability and limitations of filter unit in a wastewater treatment scheme, as explained in
section 3.11, must be kept in mind while using these units wherever they exist in CETPs
6.8 Capability and limitations of activated carbon bed, as explained in section 3.12, must be
considered while including it as a terminal treatment unit in wastewater treatment. In
treatment schemes that already include activated carbon bed as terminal treatment unit, the
dependence on this unit should be based accordingly.
6.9 Operation of treatment units based on biological treatment (Activated Sludge Process) is
sensitive and requires understanding of important controlling parameters. Use of Solid
Retention Time (SRT), the ratio of solids in the system and solids wasted per day, as
controlling parameter is recommended because it is most simple and treatment efficiency,
sludge production, oxygen requirements and nutrients requirements are dependent on SRT.
6.10 Collection of wastewater from individual industries through tankers is not a foolproof system
and should be discouraged in new areas and reviewed and rectified in old ones by the
SPCBs unless it is technically impossible.
