Sewage Treatment Plant For Hotels And Resorts
Sewage Treatment Plant for Hotels and Resorts: A Complete Guide by Aquacaresee Pvt. Ltd.
With over 18 years of experience (established in 2006), Aquacaresee Pvt. Ltd. stands as a pioneer in sewage treatment plants for hotels and resorts. Combining industrial wastewater purification, sustainable filtration, and superior wastewater management, we deliver turnkey solutions tailored to the hospitality industry’s unique demands. This guide explores the why, what, and how of choosing the right STP for hotels, sharing expertise built over almost two decades.
Introduction to STP in Hospitality
Hotels and resorts generate large volumes of domestic sewage, containing organic waste, detergents, oils, and suspended solids. Without treatment, these effluents harm the environment and violate discharge norms. A sewage treatment plant (STP) is critical to treat wastewater to reusable or safe discharge levels—aligned with ESR guidelines and local environmental regulations.Aquacaresee excels in delivering tailored STP solutions for hospitality, including membrane bioreactors, aerated lagoons, and chemical-free systems, ensuring zero liquid discharge (ZLD) or reclaimed quality water suitable for landscaping and cleaning.
Why Hotels & Resorts Need Sewage Treatment Plants
- High daily water usage: Pools, laundries, kitchens, and guest rooms.
- Strict discharge regulations: Violation leads to legal fines and closure risk.
- Environmental commitment: Eco-conscious guests expect sustainable operations.
- Operational efficiency: Treated water helps offset municipal supply costs.
- Brand reputation & certifications: LEED, EarthCheck, and local green certifications demand water recycling.
By installing a dedicated hotel STP, you ensure compliance, save costs, and strengthen your brand’s green positioning.
Key Benefits of Hotel Sewage Treatment Systems
- Regulatory compliance: Meet standards like BOD, COD, TSS limits.
- Cost savings: Lower water procurement through reuse.
- Green credentials: Improve sustainability scores, achieve certifications.
- Environmental stewardship: Reduce freshwater withdrawal and reduce pollution footprint.
- Value-addition: Offer guests eco-friendly initiatives—added marketing angle.

Types of Sewage Treatment Plant Systems for Hotels
1.Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS)
Ideal for small to medium-sized hotels — cost-effective with simple operation and moderate footprint.
2.Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR)
Batch-based aerated systems offering compact design and flexibility for peak guest-season flows. Often used in resorts.
3.Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
Combines ultrafiltration membranes with activated sludge; delivers higher-quality permeate. Perfect for hotels reusing water and meeting advanced discharge standards.
4.MBBR – Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor
Provides high treatment efficiency in smaller tank volume. Robust for hotels with variable flow loads.
5.Aerated Lagoon & Oxidation Ponds
Best for rural resorts with space. Natural treatment with low-energy consumption.
6. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs)
Treat resistant contaminants (e.g., sanitizer chemicals). Used in luxury resorts with spas and wellness operations.
Design Considerations for Hotels & Resorts
1.Flow Forecasting & Retention Plans
- Average flow = rooms × consumption norm (e.g., 350 L/room/day).
- Peak flow forecasts for occupancy surges.
Occupancy Variation – Modular Systems
- Modular STPs adapt to peak and low seasons—ensuring operational efficiency.
Footprint & Civil Integration
- Design to use underground space or landscaped utility areas.
- Comply with architectural aesthetics—e.g., fake rock covers, green roofing.
Odor Control
- Activated carbon filters, biofilters, and closed tanks prevent guest exposure to odors.
Automation & SCADA
- Remote monitoring, alarms, and data logging reduce manual inspections. Auto-dosing of chemicals ensures stable performance.
Sustainable Technology & Green Features
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Options
Treat for reuse to near-zero discharge; integrate evaporation pits or MVR technology.
Water Reuse & Recycling
- Landscaping irrigation
- Toilet flushing
- HVAC makeup water
- Fire-fighting reserves
Energy Optimization
- Solar aerators, efficient blowers, VFD pumps
- Methane recovery from sludge digestion
Green Certifications & LEED Points
- LEED Water Efficiency: Up to 2–4 credits
- IGBC Green Water Efficiency rating
- EarthCheck and GRIHA compliance
Permits, Compliance & Standards
Fees and rules vary by state/municipality, but typical parameters include:
- BOD < 30 mg/L
- COD < 250 mg/L
- TSS < 30 mg/L
- Additional norms for pH, nutrients, residual chlorine
Aquacaresee helps with:
- Designations: Gram Panchayat, Gram Sabha, IDA.

FAQs on Sewage Treatment in Hospitality
Q1: How much space does a hotel STP require?
Depends on the technology. MBR requires ~1/3rd space of CAS. Modular containerized units further reduce footprint.
Q2: Can treated water be reused for guest services?
Yes—for flushing, HVAC, irrigation. Potable reuse requires additional RO & disinfection.
Q3: What’s the payback period?
Typically 2–4 years, depending on tariff and reuse application scope.
Q4: Who handles regulatory compliance post-installation?
Our service includes monthly sample tests, submission of analysis reports, and liaison with authorities.
Q5: Is automation necessary?
Automation ensures stable performance, minimizes manual checks, and provides real-time alerts—crucial for resorts in remote areas.
