Low cost STP: lower lifetime cost, not just a lower price
The cheapest STP to buy is often the most expensive to run. Look at the full cost over the plant’s life: build cost, electricity, operators, sludge disposal and maintenance.
The short answer
Against a conventional STP of the same capacity, published comparisons show about 35% lower project CAPEX, 65% less electricity, 80% lower annual OPEX and 60% less built-up space. Figures are indicative comparisons against a conventional STP of the same capacity, not a quotation or guaranteed result. Final design, cost and performance depend on a site assessment.
Buyer questions, answered
What about a smaller project?
In the published 75 KLD villa example, Aquatron costs ₹88.9 L against ₹1.64 Cr, with AMC of ₹3.2 L against ₹15 L.
Where do running-cost savings come from?
No power in the separation stage, no sludge disposal and, per published details, no dedicated operator up to 500 KLD.
Is a cheaper STP a riskier STP?
Compare on treatment targets, design life and service support, not price alone. Aquatron has a published 50-year design life.
