Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade in Rithala
The rehabilitation and upgradation of the 182,000 m³/day Wastewater Treatment Plant in Rithala strengthens New Delhi’s urban sanitation infrastructure. Executed for Delhi Jal Board under the Yamuna Action Plan with financial support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant improves treatment performance and nutrient removal. The Wastewater Treatment Plant also supports long-term restoration of the Yamuna River.
This Wastewater Treatment Plant combines infrastructure rehabilitation with biological nutrient removal and energy recovery. Among Wastewater Treatment Solutions India, the project demonstrates how a modern Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant can improve environmental compliance while supporting the sanitation needs of a growing capital city.
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant for Delhi’s Growing Needs
The Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant has a treatment capacity of 182,000 m³/day and has been upgraded for stable operation under changing wastewater loads. The Wastewater Treatment Plant incorporates improved biological reactors, modern sludge handling and energy-efficient systems. Within Wastewater Treatment Solutions India, the upgraded Wastewater Treatment Plant delivers dependable performance and consistent treated effluent quality.
Wasterwater Treatment Plant Scope and Execution
- Scope: Comprehensive DBO delivery covering design, engineering, supply, construction, installation and commissioning of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
- Operations: Eleven years of operation and maintenance for the Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant after commissioning.
- Technology: MLE biological treatment, chemical precipitation for phosphorus removal, anaerobic sludge digestion and biogas-based power generation for the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
- Impact: The Wastewater Treatment Plant reduces nutrient loads and strengthens the value of Wastewater Treatment Solutions India.
Wastewater Treatment Solutions India for an Energy-Efficient Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Wastewater Treatment Plant uses the Modified Ludzack-Ettinger biological process for nitrogen removal, supported by chemical precipitation for phosphorus control. Enhanced aeration, optimised mixing and upgraded mechanical systems improve treatment efficiency. Anaerobic digestion converts sludge into biogas that is used for green power generation.
These systems enable the Wastewater Treatment Plant to combine reliable wastewater treatment with renewable energy recovery. The integration of biological nutrient removal and sludge-to-energy systems positions the project among sustainable Wastewater Treatment Solutions India for major urban centres.
