Advanced Wastewater Treatment in India: Challenges and Solutions by Healthy Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. in Odisha

In a rapidly developing country like India, the challenge of treating wastewater has never been more critical. From the industrial zones of Odisha to the residential suburbs of Tier-1 cities, untreated wastewater remains a threat to public health and environmental sustainability. At Healthy Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we’re committed to delivering state-of-the-art wastewater treatment systems, tailored for local needs, especially in Odisha, where industrial growth is booming but infrastructure lags behind.

Why Treating Wastewater is Essential in India

India produces over 61,000 million litres of wastewater every day, but less than 30% is treated properly. The rest is discharged into rivers, lakes, and agricultural lands—causing:

Waterborne diseases
Soil degradation
Loss of biodiversity
Severe pollution in urban and industrial belts

In Odisha, cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Rourkela are experiencing significant industrial growth, leading to a spike in wastewater from steel plants, pharmaceuticals, textile units, and food processing industries.

Modern Technologies for Wastewater Treatment in India

Healthy Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd., headquartered in India, deploys advanced treatment methods for both domestic and industrial wastewater:

1. Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

High-efficiency biological treatment with membrane filtration
Produces high-quality treated water
Compact footprint, ideal for urban locations in Odisha

2. Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR)

Cost-effective for medium-sized industries
Uses biofilm media for faster digestion of organic matter

3. Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR)

Advanced version of the activated sludge process
Efficient for municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs)

4. Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

No discharge to the environment
Complete reuse of treated water in process industries

Disadvantages and Limitations of Advanced Wastewater Treatment

Even the most advanced wastewater treatment systems come with challenges and drawbacks, especially when scaled across diverse geographies like India:

1. High Capital and Operating Costs

Membrane-based systems (MBR, UF, RO) are expensive to install and maintain
Electricity and chemical consumption can increase operational cost by 30–50%
In Odisha, small and medium industries struggle to afford such setups without government support

2. Skilled Manpower Shortage

Advanced technologies require technically skilled staff
In semi-urban areas of Odisha, trained operators are hard to find and retain

3. Sludge Management

Treatment processes generate huge quantities of biological and chemical sludge
Disposal and drying of sludge is a major challenge due to land constraints and lack of awareness

4. Regulatory and Compliance Gaps

Lack of enforcement of CPCB and SPCB guidelines in rural and industrial belts
Many units install ETPs/STPs for formality, and do not operate them effectively

5. Technological Suitability

Not all technologies work well in Odisha’s diverse climate and industrial profiles
Seasonal variation in wastewater composition affects process performance

6. Limited Public Awareness

Poor understanding among local industries and municipalities about the importance of wastewater reuse
Grey water reuse for flushing or gardening is still not mainstream

How Healthy Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is Solving These Issues

We, at Healthy Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd., focus on localization, affordability, and durability when designing wastewater treatment solutions for Odisha and other Indian states:

Custom-Designed Systems

Tailored ETPs and STPs based on industry type, space availability, and budget
Containerized and skid-mounted plants for plug-and-play operations

Robust AMC and Operator Training

We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) to ensure systems run 24/7
Conduct on-site training programs for plant operators in regional languages

Eco-Friendly Technologies

Emphasis on low-sludge processes and chemical-free disinfection
Promote reuse of treated water for cooling towers, flushing, and horticulture

Government Liaison and Compliance Support

Assistance with documentation for Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) approvals
Help clients upgrade plants to meet evolving pollution norms

Real-World Impact in Odisha

We have successfully implemented over 50+ projects across Odisha, helping industrial clients:

Save lakhs in water bills through reuse
Avoid penalties from OSPCB and NGT
Improve their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) scores

Our recent installations in Jharsuguda, Paradeep, and Bhubaneswar include:

20 KLD STP for a residential society
150 KLD ETP for a food processing plant
ZLD solution for a dyeing unit in Balasore

Conclusion: The Road Ahead for Wastewater Treatment in India

As India moves towards a water-scarce future, wastewater treatment is no longer optional—it’s a critical infrastructure. While advanced technologies offer great promise, they must be adapted to local conditions, backed by policy enforcement, and made accessible for all sectors.

At Healthy Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we continue to innovate and support industries, builders, and municipalities in Odisha and beyond to make wastewater a reusable resource, not a liability.
