Water treatment processes

 Treatment of water is done to remove any contamination present in the water to make it fit for
human consumption. Water is treated by public or private water utilities to make it potable to
meet the needs of the community at a reasonable cost.
 All surface waters carry pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms and must be disinfected
prior to human consumption. This is carried on by a sequence of treatment processes that
typically includes coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration.

 Coagulation is accomplished by adding chemical coagulants, usually aluminium or iron salts, to

neutralize the negative charge on the surfaces of the suspended solids present in the water.
 Coagulated particles are aggregated into large, rapidly settling "floc" particles by flocculation,
accomplished by gently stirring the water using paddles, turbines, or impellers.
 The flocculated water is then gently introduced into a sedimentation basin, where the floc
particles are given some time to settle out.
 Then the filtration is done to remove the matter from water by forcing the water to pass through
porous media.
 Disinfection process is then carried out which eliminates pathogenic microorganisms from the
water. It does not render the water completely sterile but does make it safe to drink from a
microbial standpoint.

Project Concept

The widening gap between growing water needs of population and scarcity in supply
in major coastal cities in India is giving rise to alternative water treatment processes
such as desalination plants, STP, ETP and CETP

 Desalination is a process that removes minerals from saline water to produce fresh water
suitable for consumption and has applications in municipal, industrial, or commercial.
 ETP purifies the waste water used in various industries and is majorly used in chemical industry
by pharmaceutical companies to purify water and to remove toxic material. ETP is also used in
industrial sectors such as leather and tanneries.
 STP is used to remove the contaminants from wastewater primarily from household sewage.
STP technique involves three stages primary, secondary and tertiary treatment.
 CETP used by the cluster of small scale tanneries as the centralized treatment place for
wastewater management. Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) costs less to build
and operate on a per-cubic-meter-treated basis than a collection of individual sites.

However, at present provision of safe drinking water to large population in India is a

difficult task
 Approximately, 225 million people in India do not have access to safe drinking water
 In India, more than 37 million people are affected by waterborne diseases , 1.5 million children
die of diarrhea
 It is also estimated that more than 73 million working days are lost due to waterborne disease
annually, resulting in an economic burden of US$600 million every year
 Around 66 million Indians are at risk due to excess fluoride and 10 million due to excess
arsenic in groundwater

The trend of urbanization in India and the rapid growth of population has exerted stress on civic
authorities to provide basic requirement such as safe drinking water, sanitation and infrastructure
which requires exploration of raw water sources, developing treatment and distribution systems

Gujarat, one of the leading state in terms of economic growth and

industrialization, falls under the water-stressed category
 Despite having 185 rivers, 5.96% of the total area of the country and 4.93% of the total
population, Gujarat has only 2.28% of the total surface water resources available in India.
 70% of Gujarat's fresh water resources are located only in 30% of its geographical area. At

wastewater treatment facilities

Nearly 50% of the Gujarat population lives in urban areas in

Urbanization comparison to around 30% Indian average. In addition, rural population
of Gujarat is shifting to urban centres leading to stressed safe water supply for
consumption. This require a huge addition to the capacity of water and
wastewater treatment facilities in major cities

Decreasing per capital water availability, high industrial consumption and low water quality
generates the strong growth opportunities for the water treatment market

Approvals / Incentives

Approvals Required

• Setting up of Business: The facility can be operated by the private player through a built-
operate-transfer (BOT) model.

• Regulation for water supply sewage services: Gujarat water supply & sewage board
(GWSS) works for rural water supply system as well as operational management of Rural
Regional water supply schemes covering cluster of villages.

• Power & Water Connection: Additional power for the project can be procured from the
existing supplier – Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Ltd. (PGVCL). Similarly, water for the project
can be procured from the Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board.

• Environmental Clearance: CRZ Clearance (Coastal Clearance) needs to be obtained from

Gujarat Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA). Additionally, pollution clearance from
Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) is also required.

Incentives from Government of Gujarat

1 Gujarat government is also promoting water treatment because of environmental concerns.

The use of solar photo voltaic power in the process would further reduce the operation cost.

2 Financial assistance for skill development centres, for technology acquisition and also for
supporting energy and water conservation as well as for environmental compliance.

3 Tax holidays: The benefits of tax holidays as provided under Section 80 (I) (A) of the Income
Tax Act for development, operation and maintenance of power plants, airports, ports, waste
management facilities, water treatment plants, etc. is available to the developer.
