Abstract

The Common Effluent Treatment Plants are considered an essential infrastructure for wastewater management worldwide. They provide an economical and one-point solution for wastewater by offering a specific treatment scheme for all types of industrial effluent having various characteristics. Developing countries like India are growing in the industrial sector vigorously. It is essential to meet the environmental effluent discharge standards for medium and small-scale industries. This study discusses the treatment schemes adopted by various CETPs in India. This review paper also discusses the multiple technologies CETPs use for industrial clusters. Since most of CETPs in India use conventional treatment methods, it is evident that innovative and efficient technologies must be deployed. This review study provides various advanced technologies, including advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) like Electro Fenton, Ozonation, Photocatalysis, Cavitation and Membrane technologies. Overall, the paper provides a brief overview of the current scenario in CETPs and the potential adoption of cutting-edge technology for improvements in wastewater treatment.
