About Us

Taloja CETP Co-operative Society Ltd. has cluster of 950 Member Industries. These units are mainly involved in manufacturing of viz. chemicals, Bulk drugs, drug Intermediates, Fertilizers, Glass, Petrochemicals, Pigments, Dyes and Intermediates, Specialty chemicals, Engineering and Textile, Food and Fish processing. The product range results in a set of individual effluents, which have to be provided for a combined treatment. Under the guidelines from Ministry of Environment & Forests, New Delhi, the Common Effluent Treatment Plant facility for industries in Taloja MIDC area was proposed in 1994. The CETP initially was conceptualized for Small Scale Industries considering their space, financial and technical constraints of effluent treatment. Later on the large and medium scale industries were made the part of CETP due to common effluent collection and disposal line and considering their treated effluent as a dilutant of effluent to make the treatment scheme feasible.

 

The CETP of 10 MLD capacity was constructed and brought into operation in December 1999.

In the course of time CETP modifications were carried out. The equalization volume was increased by converting disposal sump into equalization tank and the inefficient surface aerators in aeration tank were replaced with Diffused Aeration System costing about Rs. 1.31 Crore. The Decanter Centrifuge costing Rs. 24.18 lacs was installed. The CETP capacity thus was increased to 12.5 MLD.

 

Meanwhile, the process of coming up of new units in the industrial area and existing units expanding their production capacities started and resulted in the increase of the effluent quantity considerably. Therefore, Taloja CETP Society decided to go for the expansion of CETP by another 10 MLD. The additional 10 MLD Expansion Project thus has been commissioned in February 2008 and is into operation.

Thus the capacity of Taloja CETP became 22.5 MLD.

The detailed Project Report of the First Phase was approved by NEERI, Nagpur and Second Phase was approved by IIT, Mumbai.

The effluents after treatment are being disposed in the creek through the HDPE disposal line.

 

For the on line measurement of various parameter, CETP has installed On Line pH Meter, Dissolved Oxygen and Flow Meter and connected to website. The microscope with CCTV camera has been installed for the microscopic observation of microorganisms in the biological treatment unit i.e. Aeration Tank. The electrically driven actuator valves with timer have been fitted for sludge removal.

Hooter (alarm) system installed for  indication of overloading of scrapper mechanisms due to accumulation of sludge.

The 20% amount of the project cost is collected from the Member Industries as the capital contribution, 30% amount is taken as loan from IDBI and balance 50% is received from Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) - 5%, Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) - 20% and Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi (MoEF) - 25% as subsidy.

 

The operation and maintenance cost of CETP is recovered from the member industries through Treatment Charges (TC) and Hydraulic Charges (HC).

The small scale industries (SSI) have to treat their effluent for the preliminary treatment in terms of pH adjustment, detoxification, degreasing and removal suspended solids as per MPCB Disposal Norms and Large and Medium Scale Industries LSI & MSI) in addition to preliminary treatment have to operate secondary / tertiary treatment facilities before sending it to CETP to achieve all the consented parameters within MPCB limits.

TREATMENT PROCESS DESCRIPTION

 

The effluent generated by the industries is collected through gravity lines in two Collection Sumps, one near Ghot Village and the other at CETP. From the Collection Sump near Ghot village effluent is pumped to the Collection Sumps at CETP. The Equalization Tank is used to dampen the variations in the quality and flow rate. In order to keep the effluent suspended solids away from settling and to ensure proper mixing Floating Aerators have been installed in old plant and diffused coarse aeration is there in expansion plant.  The pH correction is carried out with lime if required.

 

The effluent is pumped to flash mixer wherein PAC is dosed with rapid mixing and led to Clariflocculator to flocculate and settle suspended solids as well as remove certain portion of suspended organic matter.

 

The Suspended Solids settle down in Primary Clarifloculator leaving the clear supernatant overflow from the weir top and it is the primary treated effluent, which goes to Aeration Tank for secondary biological treatment.  The settled sludge is scrapped with scrapper mechanism and pumped to sludge sump which is further thickened in thickener and dewatered with Centrifuge Decanter.  The centrate of the Centrifuge Decanter is taken to Equalization Tank for further treatment.

 

 

In Aeration Tank, the Biomass has been developed which is the culture of aerobic microorganism.  The oxygen required for microorganism is supplied by Diffused Aeration System.  The bacteria consume the organic matters present in the effluent as the source of their food producing the new bacterial cells and Carbon Dioxide and water as by-products.

 

 

The overflow of Aeration Tank goes to Secondary Clarifier where Biomass (MLSS) settles down leaving clear supernatant at the top which is treated water. 

 

The treated water is discharged in the Waghivali Creek by pumping through HDPE closed pipeline.

 

The settled sludge is partially recycled back to Aeration Tank for maintaining the MLSS concentration in it and partially wasted in sludge sump and is dewatered and dried with sludge generated in primary treatment. The dried sludge is sent to Mumbai Waste Management Ltd., for further disposal by secured land filling as per the consent conditions.
