ECOTECH 360 AUDIT AND STP/ETP REFURBISHMENT

Turn around your Dysfunctional STP/ETP

Struggling with the inefficiencies of your treatment plant and an unresponsive O&M vendor? Worried about water security, health and safety, unexpected PCB audits, and steep penalties? Look no further—Ecotech is your solution. We specialize in conducting thorough audits of residential, commercial STPs, and industrial ETPs, crafting effective plans to bring your system back on track.

The Ecotech 360 Audit

Our gold-standard expert audit, the Ecotech 360 Audit, offers a comprehensive assessment of your STP/ETP, covering every aspect from the bar screen to the final treated water tank, including all electromechanical equipment and civil units in between. Many STP/ETP owners grapple with dysfunctional plants, facing frustration with their current O&M vendor, who may be concealing vital facts, manipulating treated water test reports, and illegally discharging untreated sewage, posing risks of excessive freshwater purchases and legal consequences.

Whether you’re dealing with issues like unpleasant odors, poor water quality, high freshwater expenses, increased energy consumption, or frequent equipment breakdowns, the Ecotech 360 Audit delves into the root causes—(a) Choice of Treatment Technology, (b) Design, (c) Engineering, and (d) Operation & Maintenance. Our expert audit team visits your site, gathers facts in each of these areas, and our Technical Team provides an unbiased, detailed report with a transparent view of your plant. This report identifies the root causes of your challenges and advises on feasible solutions, including refurbishment.

Revitalization of Dysfunctional STPs and ETPs

With a 100% success rate, we’ve effectively revitalized over 70 dysfunctional STPs and ETPs. Many clients recover refurbishment costs within months, benefitting from substantial monthly savings in freshwater purchases. Our successful refurbishments span across India, serving approximately 30 premier commercial clients, including Phoenix Market City, the Marriott Group of Hotels, SAP Labs, Volvo, Tata Communications, and Microsoft, among others. We’ve also catered to about 40 residential complexes, ranging from 30 KLD to over 2000 KLD.
