STPs AT PUNJAB

Estimated sewage generation for the State of Punjab is 1,889 MLD and total treatment capacity is
1,781 MLD (119 STPs). Figure 4.20 depicts sewage generation, treatment capacity, operational
capacity, actual utilization, complied capacity, capacities of non-operational STPs, under construction
STPs and proposed STPs. Based on data analysis, following observations are made:

1. Installed capacity is 1,781 MLD (94.28 %) against sewage generation of 1,889 MLD. It shows that
there is gap of 108 MLD (5.72 %) in treatment capacity.

2. Out of 1781 MLD of installed capacity developed, operationalized capacity is 1601 MLD (89.89 %)
and actual utilized capacity is 1,360 MLD (84.94 %). Further , the capacity of complied STPs is only
441 MLD.

3. SBR, MBBR and WSP based STPs are predominant as compared to other conventional treatment
systems.
