STP Visit

When we have a fully functional Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) on our campus, it becomes an opportunity for practical learning beyond the classroom. To make the most of this, we organised a visit for the S6 B.Tech students of our department on 30th March 2026.


Although many of the students had visited the STP earlier, revisiting it after learning the theoretical concepts in class made a difference. It helped them better connect what they studied with how things actually work in real life.

The session was guided by Mr. Shibumon M. Thomas, Plumbing-cum-Maintenance Assistant at the STP, who provided a clear and insightful explanation of the plant’s working and treatment mechanisms in a very accessible manner.

During the visit, students explored the various stages and components involved in the treatment process, including screening, grit removal, oil separation, primary sedimentation, anaerobic treatment, aeration, aerobic treatment, secondary sedimentation, and pressure filtration. They also observed the flow of wastewater through each unit and understood how impurities are progressively removed at different stages.

The visit was an engaging and informative, reinforcing classroom learning and giving students a better understanding of wastewater treatment processes.
