What Is a Sewage Treatment Plant?

A sewage treatment plant (STP) treats sewage by reducing solids and pollutants through a sequence of treatment stages. The process is designed around the incoming wastewater and the quality needed for its intended reuse or discharge.

Depending on the project, treatment can include preliminary screening, biological treatment, clarification, filtration, and disinfection. The selected process and equipment vary with wastewater composition, capacity, and applicable requirements.

How Sewage Treatment Works

01

Wastewater Inlet

Sewage enters the plant for treatment according to the system design

02

Screening

Screens separate larger debris and solids from the incoming wastewater

03

Biological Treatment

Where included in the process, biological treatment reduces biodegradable organic matter

04

Clarification & Filtration

Selected separation stages remove suspended solids to meet process requirements

05

Final Treatment

Additional treatment, such as disinfection, can be provided when required for reuse or discharge
