ETP stands for “Effluent Treatment Plant.” Similar to the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), an ETP is a facility designed to treat wastewater, but it specifically focuses on treating industrial effluent or wastewater generated by various industries and manufacturing processes. The primary objective of an ETP is to remove harmful pollutants, contaminants, and toxic substances from industrial wastewater before it is discharged into the environment or reused for non-potable purposes.

Effluent Treatment Plants are essential in mitigating the environmental impact of industrial wastewater discharge. Proper treatment ensures that industrial effluents do not contaminate water bodies, harm aquatic life, or negatively affect human health. Compliance with environmental regulations and sustainable water management practices are critical aspects of operating an efficient ETP.
