HECS Customized Sewage Treatment Plants for Educational Institutions – STP for Schools, Colleges & Universities
Transform your campus into a green, sustainable space with a sewage treatment plant for educational institutions. Whether it’s a school, college, university, or hostel, managing wastewater efficiently is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. With HECS’s advanced STP solutions, implementing an STP for colleges, an STP for schools, or even an STP for universities becomes simple, cost-effective, and fully compliant with environmental norms.
Educational campuses generate large volumes of wastewater daily. Without proper treatment, it poses health risks and violates pollution control regulations. That’s where a reliable STP for hostels and institutions makes all the difference—reducing water wastage, cutting down operational costs, and promoting eco-awareness among students.
At HECS, we believe in supporting sustainable education by providing efficient, low-maintenance sewage treatment systems tailored to institutional needs. Join the movement toward a cleaner tomorrow—because every drop of treated water today builds a better future.
Why Do Educational Institutions Need a Sewage Treatment Plant?
With India’s rapidly growing student population and increasing awareness about environmental responsibility, educational institutions face mounting pressure to manage wastewater effectively. Schools and colleges generate substantial volumes of sewage from hostels, cafeterias, laboratories, and administrative buildings, making proper treatment essential.The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) mandates that institutions with significant water consumption must install sewage treatment systems to prevent groundwater contamination and surface water pollution. Modern educational campuses are embracing institutional wastewater treatment not just for compliance, but as part of their commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development goals.
Beyond regulatory requirements, untreated sewage poses serious health risks to students and staff. At the same time, proper treatment enables water reuse for gardening, cleaning, and flushing, significantly reducing operational costs and water dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of STP installation for educational institutions varies based on capacity and technology. For a typical school (100-500 students), a compact STP plant ranges from ₹3-8 lakhs, while colleges (500-2000 students) may require systems costing ₹8-25 lakhs. Factors affecting cost include:
- Treatment capacity (KLD - Kiloliters per Day)
- Technology used (MBBR, FAB, Extended Aeration)
- Installation complexity and site conditions
- Brand and manufacturer reputation
- Additional features like automation and monitoring systems
STP capacity calculation involves determining total water discharge based on:
- Student population: 40-60 liters per student per day
- Staff and faculty: 50-70 liters per person per day
- Residential facilities: 135-150 liters per resident per day
- Safety factor: Add 20-30% buffer for peak loads
- Example: For 500 students + 50 staff = (500×50) + (50×60) + 30% buffer = 32.5 KLD capacity required
Key benefits include:
- Water Conservation: Treated water can be reused for gardening, flushing, and cooling systems
- Cost Savings: Reduced water bills and municipal sewage charges
- Environmental Compliance: Meets pollution control board regulations
- Educational Value: Serves as a practical learning tool for environmental science
- Campus Sustainability: Demonstrates commitment to green practices

A sewage treatment plant (STP) is a facility designed to remove contaminants and pollutants from wastewater and sewage before it is discharged back into the environment or reused. These plants use physical, chemical, and biological processes to clean wastewater from homes, businesses, and industries, making it safe for the environment and human health.
The primary purpose is to protect public health and the environment by removing harmful substances like bacteria, viruses, organic matter, nutrients, and toxic chemicals from wastewater.
