Sewage Treatment Plants

A Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is a facility that cleans wastewater collected from homes and industries before releasing it back into the environment. It uses physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove solids, harmful chemicals, and contaminants. The treatment typically involves initial screening, settling, biological digestion, and disinfection stages to ensure the water is safe. Effective sewage treatment protects public health, aquatic ecosystems, and prevents pollution. In essence, an STP transforms dirty wastewater into cleaner water, making it suitable for discharge or reuse.
