Decentralized STPs are a fairly new trend that many have not caught onto yet. However, it is clear that this method can make great contributions to the conservation of water and in better quality treated wastewater. We’re open to all kinds of questions and opinions on this subject for those interested to discuss this further with us.

Going from Centralized
Wastewater Treatment to
Decentralized Wastewater
Treatment

2. The Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
Here are a few points on what we
need to know about this
wastewater treatment method:

3. The Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
01 Central civic or municipalities
usually use this method of
wastewater treatment.

4. The Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
02 The treated water is just
drained into nearby oceans,
rivers, lakes, and other such
bodies of water.

5. The Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
03 Since it is an underground
system, most if not all the people
in the community are unaware of
all the wastewater
they are generating.

6. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
The notion of the negative impacts of this
wastewater treatment was only strengthened when
the following instances started happening:

7. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
Cities and towns are “bursting at the seam” due to
the volume of sewage being generated and
increasing in geometric progression.

8. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
Many industries and micro-industries often have
wastewater that is more difficult to treat compared to
ordinary sewage.

9. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
03 There is an increasing awareness about the
impact of all forms of pollution on the current and
future generation of all living things on this planet.

10. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
Plants make large surrounding areas of land
unlivable due to the odor and the breeding of insects
like mosquitoes in the vicinity, usually around the
pumping stations.

11. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
Municipalities are now unable to find enough
overground and underground space to increase the
size of the treatment plant to accommodate the
increase in sewage water volume.

12. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
More and more people are starting to have the
perception of the unjust work conditions of sanitation
workers, as these said work conditions often
have them working in filth.

13. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
The increase of cost on the installation of sewerage
systems as well as operating and maintenance has
made it hard for municipalities to
manage financially.

14. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
Sewage blockages cause a significantly bad odor in
the whole city or town, and the only way to get rid of
the odor is to clear the blockage.

15. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
There are also increasing costs in the aspects of
Conventional/Centralized Wastewater Treatment.

16. The Problems of Conventional/Centralized Treatment Method
As water becomes an increasingly scarce resource,
dumping well-treated water in lakes, rivers or other
bodies of water has become
a criminal act.

17. Considering the Decentralized STP Option
There are quite a number of advantages
communities can reap from Decentralized STPs,
and these advantages include the following:

18. Considering the Decentralized STP Option
With the right technology and design, this approach
can result in the reduction or even elimination of
underground sewerage systems.

19. Considering the Decentralized STP Option
The plants are scalable, meaning we can keep
building plants based on the growing needs of the
community
at any given time.

20. Considering the Decentralized STP Option
Decentralized STPs are known to have much lower
operating and
maintenance costs.

21. Decentralized STPs are a fairly new trend that many have not
caught onto yet. However, it is clear that this method can make
great contributions to the conservation of water and in better
quality treated wastewater.
