With severe water scarcity issues exacerbated by depleting groundwater levels and water pollution, businesses and facilities across India are under pressure to adopt efficient sewage treatment plants in India. Hotels, residential apartments, malls, institutions, industrial factories, and resorts all need reliable STP plants in India to ensure regulatory compliance, prevent environmental hazards, and enable water reuse for non-potable purposes.
Effective sewage wastewater management is a mandatory and smart responsibility for maintaining environmental sustainability, ensuring regulatory compliance, and protecting public health and local ecosystems for the following reasons:
- Installing a high-efficiency sewage wastewater plant can almost eliminate your water running expenses for non-potable applications that don’t require fresh groundwater, such as toilet flushing, gardening, cleaning, car washing, floor mopping, horticulture, irrigation, landscaping, and sprinklers.
- Poorly managed sewage wastewater from facilities can introduce pathogens, heavy metals, biomedical residues, toxic chemicals, and suspended solids into nearby water bodies, leading to serious risks such as foaming lakes, algal blooms, groundwater contamination, and threats to public safety.
- The Government of India mandates the installation of sewage treatment plants for residential, commercial, hospitality, institutional, and industrial projects that exceed a built-up area of 2,000 sq.m or generate more than 10 KLD of sewage water. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, operational shutdowns, and legal actions.

Why Choose SKF Elixer Vulcan Sewage Treat Plant
Inside the AABR bio-reactor, wastewater flows across advanced synthetic media specifically designed to support the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
These naturally occurring microorganisms actively consume and break down organic matter and pollutants, including Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), nitrogen, phosphorus, and other contaminants, while significantly reducing the total sludge load.
Unlike traditional systems that rely on free-floating sludge, the AABR process occurs on fixed surfaces. This fixed biofilm design maintains oxygen-rich aerobic conditions throughout, drastically reducing harmful waste and ensuring the treatment remains stable and effective even during peak loads or power fluctuations.
The treated water then moves to subsequent stages cleaner and more efficiently.
The fixed biofilm approach in AABR provides greater process stability, faster biomass development, and minimal maintenance requirements, making it odor-free and perfectly suited for residential complexes, hospitals, gated communities, malls and institutions where reliable, continuous operation and compact designs are essential—whether in space-limited Bengaluru malls or remote resorts. Here are the expanded key benefits of AABR technology, tailored to address common pain points in the state:
- High Durability: Engineered to withstand continuous biological activity, chemical exposure, and harsh environmental conditions like India’s high temperatures and humidity, ensuring the system lasts for decades without degradation.
- UV Resistant: The synthetic media doesn’t crack, fade, or degrade when exposed to direct sunlight over time, ideal for outdoor or semi-exposed installations.
- Non-Clogging: Prevents blockages in pipelines, pumps, and diffusers—unlike conventional plastic media that often fail in high-solid sewage from industrial or hotel sources, reducing emergency calls and overflows.
