2.2 WATER REQUIREMENT, WASTE WATER GENERATION AND TREATMENT
 The Total water requirement is 1207.5 KL/Day. Out of that 207.5 KLD ground water for
which NOC from CGWA/PWD available and remaining 1000 KLD applied to get from
government water source.
 The total wastewater generation will be 705 KL/Day. Industrial process wastewater =
600 KL/Day + washing = 75 KL/Day + Boiler/cooling = 30 KL/Day). and will be
segregated into two stream High COD Stream & Low COD stream.
 Low COD stream: Low COD effluent (105 KL/Day) will be treated by Biological
treatment method and followed by conventional wastewater treatment system and
the pass through RO system.
 High TDS Stream: Neutralized concentrate effluent (600 KL/Day) and rejects from RO
(225 KL/Day) will be evaporated in multi effective evaporator (MEE). The treated
wastewater will be totally recycled and the solid waste generated will be disposed to
TSDF (Common disposal Facility).
 Domestic wastewater (100 KL/Day) will send to STP and Reuse in domestic and
gardening purpose after treatment.
