The Hindu
The capacity of the Sewage Treatment Plant is 564 MLD
Water Minister and Delhi Jal Board (DJB) Chairman Satyendar Jain visited the construction site of what the Delhi government claimed was India’s largest Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Okhla on Friday.
The STP will have a capacity of 564 Million Litres Per Day (MLD) and will be spread over an area of 110 acres and will be completed by the end of 2022, following which sewage that flows into the Yamuna will get treated. This treated water will then be used for rejuvenating underground water while the rest will be discharged into the Yamuna.
“This means, after its construction, this STP will stop 564 MLD of sewage from flowing into the Yamuna by treating to the latest norms of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) 10 mg/L and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 10 mg/L with nutrient removal,” Mr. Jain said.
