Why are apartment STP running costs so high?
Conventional plants run blowers and pumps continuously, need operators and produce sludge that must be removed. Aquatron separates solids first, and published comparisons show up to 65% less electricity and up to 80% lower OPEX.
Can an existing apartment STP be upgraded?
India Water Systems offers retrofit assessments for underperforming STPs. Feasibility depends on the existing layout, plumbing and flow; see the retrofit feasibility guide.
How is apartment STP capacity worked out?
Capacity is based on actual or designer-approved daily wastewater flow. 1 KLD equals 1,000 litres per day. See the capacity calculation guide.
Is there a residential project example?
Voora’s Ocean 27, a residential tower in Chennai, uses a 110 KLD Aquatron STP. More projects are listed on the references page.
Does the association still need an AMC?
Yes. Aquatron is low maintenance, not maintenance-free. Agree a written AMC covering the bio-chamber, filters, UV and water-quality testing.
