STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) Contractor for Buildings & Hospitals
In today's environmentally conscious era, domestic wastewater treatment has become a vital necessity for various types of facilities, from office buildings, apartments, and hotels to hospitals. This system, known as STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) or Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah Domestik, treats wastewater to make it safe before discharge into the environment.
For owners or managers of large facilities, choosing an experienced STP contractor is a key step to ensure that the system operates efficiently, reliably, and in full compliance with environmental regulations.
What Is a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)?
An STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) is a system designed to treat domestic wastewater from toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, and other human activities. Its main goal is to remove organic materials, suspended solids, and pathogenic microorganisms, so that the treated effluent is safe to release into municipal drains or the surrounding environment.
| STP Process Stage | Main Function |
| Preliminary Treatment (Screening & Sedimentation) | Removes coarse solids such as tissues, sand, and debris. |
| Biological Treatment (Aeration or Biofilter) | Decomposes organic matter using natural microorganisms. |
| Advanced Treatment (Filtration & Disinfection) | Clarifies water and eliminates pathogens through chlorination or UV disinfection. |
With proper system design, the treated water from an STP can meet domestic effluent quality standards set by Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK).
Why Buildings & Hospitals Need an STP
Commercial buildings and healthcare facilities produce large volumes of complex wastewater. Hospitals, for instance, generate wastewater that contains pathogenic microorganisms, chemical residues, and pharmaceutical waste, all of which pose serious environmental risks.
Key reasons why STPs are essential for these facilities include:
- Compliance with environmental regulations such as Ministerial Regulation LHK No. P.68/Menlhk/Setjen/Kum.1/8/2016
- Environmental protection, preventing contamination of soil and groundwater
- Enhanced public trust and improved institutional reputation — especially for hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Water reuse opportunities, as treated water can be used for landscaping or toilet flushing
The Role of a Professional STP Contractor
Building an STP is not just a mechanical installation project, it requires comprehensive planning, system design, and a deep understanding of wastewater characteristics.
A professional STP contractor understands both the technical and regulatory aspects, ensuring that every installation functions optimally.
Key roles of an experienced contractor like PJL Enviro include:
- Survey & Needs Analysis: Identifying wastewater volume, type, and characteristics to determine system capacity.
- System Design & Engineering: Configuring aeration, sedimentation, and filtration units based on site conditions.
- Construction & Installation: Executing civil, mechanical, and electrical works according to the approved design.
- Testing & Commissioning: Verifying system performance before full operation.
- Maintenance & Upgrades: Providing after-sales services such as tank cleaning, blower checks, and capacity expansion.
Modern STP Technologies Used Today
| Technology | Key Advantages |
| Extended Aeration System | Stable performance; ideal for fluctuating loads (e.g., hotels, apartments). |
| Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) | Highly efficient, space-saving, and easy to maintain. |
| Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) | Flexible and effective for hospitals with variable wastewater loads. |
| Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) | Produces high-quality effluent suitable for reuse (reuse-ready). |
The choice of system depends on the type of wastewater, plant capacity, and available space.
