Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Transforming Cities with Reliable Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Municipal Wastewater Treatment Solutions for Sustainable Cities

The rapid pace of urbanization has placed enormous pressure on municipal infrastructure across India and worldwide. As cities expand, managing wastewater has become one of the most pressing challenges. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Indian urban centers generate nearly 72,368 million liters per day (MLD) of wastewater, while treatment capacity exists for only about 31,841 MLD. This leaves more than half of urban wastewater untreated, often discharged directly into rivers, lakes, or groundwater.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment is not just a compliance obligation—it is a critical enabler of urban water management. Efficient treatment ensures public health, reduces environmental degradation, supports water reuse, and helps municipalities lower their long-term operational costs.

At Hydrateq, we engineer wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for municipalities that combine cutting-edge design, sustainability, and scalability. Our approach ensures that treatment facilities deliver reliable results, meet regulatory standards, and integrate seamlessly with future city growth.

What we do

No shortcuts. Just performance you can trust.

Hydrateq provides customized solutions across the full spectrum of municipal wastewater treatment. Our offerings include:

Design & Engineering of Treatment Plants

Our core strength lies in engineering municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs) tailored to population density, wastewater characteristics, and regulatory norms. We design scalable systems that accommodate growth while minimizing lifecycle costs.

Installation & Commissioning of STPs

From small-capacity decentralized units to large-capacity centralized facilities, Hydrateq provides turnkey solutions. Our project teams ensure smooth execution, on-time delivery, and operational readiness.

Advanced Treatment Technologies

We integrate aerobic, anaerobic, and hybrid systems based on site needs. Options include Activated Sludge Process (ASP), Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR), Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR), and Membrane Bioreactors (MBR).

Operation & Maintenance Contracts

Cities often struggle to maintain STPs after commissioning. Hydrateq’s O&M services ensure plants run consistently at optimal performance with trained operators, preventive maintenance, and performance guarantees.

Upgradation of Existing STPs

Many municipal STPs underperform due to outdated technology or poor design. Hydrateq upgrades systems with modern processes, improving efficiency and compliance without requiring complete rebuilds.

Reuse & Recycling Solutions

Treated municipal wastewater can be reused for landscaping, construction, flushing, or cooling towers. Our solutions help municipalities reduce freshwater demand while creating sustainable water cycles.

Unique Selling Proposition

Benefits

While many players operate in this space, Hydrateq stands apart because we don’t just install equipment—we engineer reliability.

Performance Beyond Compliance

We focus not only on meeting discharge norms but also on ensuring that water is reusable and sustainable. Our systems are designed for efficiency, even under fluctuating load conditions.
Lifecycle Cost Advantage

Short-term cost-cutting often leads to plant failures. Hydrateq delivers optimized capital expenditure (CAPEX) and reduced operating expenditure (OPEX), ensuring maximum ROI over the long term.
Design-First Philosophy

Unlike vendors who retrofit solutions, we engineer treatment plants based on the municipality’s growth projections, water balance, and site-specific challenges.

End-to-End Services

From design to maintenance, Hydrateq offers full lifecycle services. Municipalities benefit from a single, accountable partner instead of fragmented vendors.
Energy Recovery

Generate renewable energy from anaerobic processes.
Sustainability Integration

We enable circular economy practices by promoting treated water reuse, sludge-to-energy projects, and renewable energy integration, helping cities meet SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) targets.

Our Process

How We Do It

We follow a structured, transparent process to ensure every municipal wastewater project achieves lasting success.

Step 1: Assessment & Feasibility

We start with a detailed study of wastewater volumes, influent quality, land availability, and projected population growth. This ensures treatment plants are future-ready.

Step 2: Design Engineering

Based on site conditions, Hydrateq selects the most suitable technology (e.g., MBBR, SBR, or MBR). Every design balances efficiency, cost, and sustainability.

Step 3: Project Execution

Our team oversees civil works, equipment supply, and installation. With strict quality control, we ensure commissioning timelines are met without compromise.

Step 4: Training & Handover

Municipal staff receive operational training and detailed documentation, ensuring smooth day-to-day management.

Step 5: Long-Term Support

Through O&M contracts, Hydrateq provides preventive maintenance, periodic audits, and system upgrades—ensuring reliable plant performance over decades.
