Effluent treatment Plant for Metal Industry
Overview
Pharmaceutical manufacturing generates complex wastewater containing high organic loads, solvents, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chemicals, suspended solids, and variable pH levels. Vikas Engineering designs and supplies advanced Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) that ensure compliance with environmental regulations while enabling water reuse and reducing disposal costs.
Treatment Process Flow
Collection Tank → Equalization Tank → Oil & Grease Trap → pH Correction → Heavy Metal Precipitation → Coagulation & Flocculation → Primary Clarifier → Pressure Sand Filter → Activated Carbon Filter → UF/RO System (Optional) → Water Reuse / Discharge
