ADVANCED WASTEWATER POLISHING SOLUTIONS

Industrial Tertiary
Treatment Plant for
Water Reuse

WTE tertiary treatment plant solutions are engineered to polish biologically treated wastewater from STP and ETP systems through pressure filtration, activated carbon adsorption, micron filtration, ultrafiltration, and disinfection. Our TTP systems reduce TSS, turbidity, colour, odour, residual organics, and microbial load to support compliant discharge and reliable non-potable water reuse.

Engineered Tertiary Wastewater Polishing System

Secondary treated water from STP, ETP, MBBR, SBR, MBR, or clarifier outlets enters the Tertiary Treatment Plant for final polishing.

Fine solids, turbidity, colour, odour, residual organics, and microbial load are reduced through staged filtration and disinfection before reuse or discharge.

Treated Water InletClarified STP or ETP water is collected in a feed tank for stable flow, dosing, and pressure filtration.
Media FiltrationPressure sand, dual media, or multimedia filters remove fine TSS, turbidity, flocs, and carry-over solids.

Overview

What Is a Tertiary Treatment Plant?

A Tertiary Treatment Plant is an advanced wastewater polishing system installed after secondary treatment to improve final treated water quality for reuse or compliant discharge. WTE designs TTP plants for turbidity reduction, TSS removal, colour and odour control, residual COD/BOD polishing, pathogen reduction, and consistent reuse-ready output.

For a complete wastewater recovery line, the tertiary treatment plant can be integrated after Sewage Treatment Plant, Effluent Treatment Plant, biological treatment, clarification, MBR systems, and upstream of RO Plant or Zero Liquid Discharge System solutions.

Key Benefits

Tertiary Treatment Plant Benefits for Daily Operation

A properly designed Tertiary Treatment Plant improves final water clarity, reduces suspended solids and turbidity, protects reuse systems, and supports reliable discharge compliance.

Reliable TSS & Turbidity RemovalStaged media filtration removes fine particles, biological carry-over, flocs, and suspended solids from secondary treated water.
Better Treated Water ReusePolished and disinfected water can be reused for flushing, gardening, washing, cooling tower make-up, and non-potable utilities.
Colour, Odour & Organics ControlActivated carbon and dosing options help reduce colour, odour, residual organics, chlorine traces, and aesthetic issues.
Automatic Backwash OperationPLC-based automation manages feed pumps, dosing, filter backwash, valve sequencing, disinfection, alarms, and operating cycles.
Compact Modular DesignSkid-mounted polishing systems reduce installation time, simplify expansion, and integrate easily with existing STP or ETP outlets.
Compliance & Reuse SupportSystem design considers inlet TSS/turbidity, filtration velocity, media depth, backwash rate, contact time, and outlet norms.
Working Process

How a Tertiary Treatment Plant Works

A Tertiary Treatment Plant uses feed equalization, dosing, pressure filtration, carbon polishing, fine filtration, disinfection, and monitoring to produce reuse-ready treated water.

1

Treated Water Collection

Secondary treated outlet from STP, ETP, clarifier, or MBR is collected in a feed tank for stable flow and steady pumping.

2

Dosing & Media Filtration

Coagulant, pH correction, or antiscalant dosing is provided before pressure sand, dual media, or multimedia filtration.

3

Carbon / Fine Polishing

Activated carbon, micron cartridges, or ultrafiltration reduce colour, odour, residual organics, fine colloids, and microbial carry-over.

4

Disinfection & Reuse Storage

UV, chlorine, or ozone disinfection controls pathogens before polished water is stored for reuse or compliant discharge.

Applications

Tertiary Treatment Plant Applications for Reuse and Compliance

Used in residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality, healthcare, and industrial facilities that need polished wastewater reuse, low turbidity, final disinfection, and dependable discharge compliance.

This tertiary treatment plant is designed for facilities that need advanced treated water polishing, consistent reuse quality, lower turbidity, disinfection, and compliant discharge.

Typical Tertiary Treatment Plant Applications

WTE recommends the right Tertiary Treatment Plant after reviewing treated water source, TSS, turbidity, residual COD/BOD, reuse target, operating pattern, and site layout.

  • • STP treated water polishing for flushing, gardening, washing, and cooling tower make-up
  • • ETP treated effluent polishing for turbidity, TSS, colour, odour, and residual organics reduction
  • • Pre-treatment before RO, UF, reuse distribution, process utilities, or ZLD recovery systems
