The trial run of the revamped sewage treatment plant (STP) has started at the Government Medical College, Ernakulam.
The delay in the completion of the work has come under the radar of the National Green Tribunal and the State Level Monitoring Committee on Solid Waste Management. Senior officials of the State Pollution Control Board said that the commissioning work of the plant began two weeks ago. The renovated plant has a capacity to treat 500 kilo litres per day. The estimated generation of effluents is around 500 kilo litres per day, as per the board.
The renovation work of the STP was undertaken by Infrastructure Kerala Ltd. (INKEL). The board will assess the efficiency of the renovated plant after one week. Samples will be taken to ascertain whether the facility is operating as per the environmental standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board.
