STP solutions

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 does a 1 MLD STP cost?

Indicative CAPEX: Aquatron ₹5.14 Cr, MBR ₹7.61 Cr, SBR ₹8.24 Cr, MBBR ₹9.15 Cr. See the full STP cost guide.

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.
