Advantages OF CETP
Exclusive Advantages
Advantage 1
Saving in Capital and Operating Cost of treatment plant. The Common Treatment is always cheaper than small scattered treatment units.
Advantage 2
Addressing the 'lack of space' issue – CETPs can be planned in advance to ensure adequate space is available, including plans for future expansion. The regulatory authorities will find that using a common treatment facility makes it much easier to ensure that the rules are followed;
Advantage 3
Facilitating 'economy of scale' in wastewater treatment, thereby lowering the cost of pollution abatement for individual SMEs;
Advantage 4
Availability of land which is difficult to be ensured by all individual units in the event they go for individual treatment plants.
Advantage 5
Contribution of nutrient and diluting potential, making the complex industrial waste more amenable to degradation.
Advantage 6
The neutralization and equalization of heterogeneous waste makes its treatment techno-economically viable.
Advantage 7
Professional and Trained staff can be made available for operation of CETP which is not possible in case of individual plants.
Advantage 8
Disposal of treated wastewater & sludge becomes more organized.
Advantage 9
Reduced burden of various regulatory authorities in ensuring pollution control requirement.
