STP Performance Dashboard

Turn a running sewage treatment plant's daily readings into live performance. Enter flow, inlet and outlet BOD, power and residual chlorine — get BOD removal efficiency, specific energy and a compliance status at a glance.

Residual chlorine (mg/L)0.5 mg/L

Free residual chlorine at the outlet — CPCB expects ≥0.3 mg/L for disinfected treated sewage.

How this is calculated

BOD removal = (1 − outlet ÷ inlet) × 100 = (1 − 8 ÷ 300) × 100 = 97.3 %.
Specific energy = power ÷ flow = 160 ÷ 200 = 0.80 kWh/m³ (Typical).
Inlet load = flow × inlet BOD ÷ 1000 = 60 kg/day; outlet load = 1.6 kg/day.
Compliance is met when outlet BOD ≤ 10 mg/L and residual chlorine ≥ 0.3 mg/L — currently met.

Indicative operational KPIs for monitoring a running plant. Actual discharge consent limits and sampling protocols are set by your SPCB/CPCB authorisation — treat these as a daily health check, not a legal test.
