Tertiary Treatment: From Compliance to Reuse-Grade Water

As Indian environmental regulations tighten and groundwater availability decreases, paper mills are under growing pressure to reduce freshwater intake and move toward closed-loop water systems. Tertiary effluent treatment — the polishing stage after biological secondary treatment — is the bridge between compliance and reuse. Rajshree Group designs tertiary systems that transform secondary-treated effluent into water clean enough for reuse in non-critical mill processes, significantly reducing raw water consumption.

Paper mill tertiary challenges centre on colour removal — lignin degradation products from kraft cooking and bleaching produce persistent brown colouration that biological treatment cannot fully remove. Rajshree's tertiary systems use coagulation-flocculation with specialised colour-removal coagulants, followed by dissolved air flotation (DAF) or multimedia pressure filtration, to achieve colour below 150 Hazen units — the threshold for reuse in most mill applications.

For ZLD applications, Rajshree adds membrane filtration (ultrafiltration + reverse osmosis) after colour removal to produce permeate water suitable for boiler makeup, cooling tower, or direct process reuse. The RO concentrate — a small, high-strength stream — is then sent to a multiple-effect evaporator or spray dryer for final volume reduction and salt recovery.

💧 Water Reuse Potential

A well-designed tertiary system can enable a paper mill to reuse 40–60% of its treated effluent volume for wood yard washing, vacuum pump sealing water, or ash handling — cutting freshwater intake and reducing surface water withdrawal consents needed from state water authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tertiary treatment removes colour (from lignin derivatives and bleaching chemicals), residual suspended solids, and dissolved organics that survive biological treatment. It also reduces turbidity, heavy metals (if present), and specific priority pollutants. For mills targeting ZLD, tertiary treatment is the bridge between biological effluent and the membrane/evaporator system.
Rajshree designs tertiary ETP systems using: coagulation-flocculation with alum or ferric coagulants (for colour and TSS removal), activated carbon filtration (for COD polishing and colour removal), ozonation (for high-degree colour destruction), sand/multimedia filtration, and UV disinfection. The appropriate combination is selected based on treated water end-use requirements.
Yes. Rajshree designs tertiary ETP systems specifically to produce water quality suitable for reuse in the paper machine system (shower water, pulp dilution, etc.). This reduces fresh water consumption by 40–70% in mills that implement recycle. The tertiary system design is aligned with the specific water quality requirements of the paper machine manufacturer.
Rajshree's coagulation-flocculation systems achieve colour reduction of 85–95% from the secondary ETP outlet. Combined with activated carbon polishing, colour reduction can reach 98–99%. For ECF-bleached pulp mill effluent, colour after full tertiary treatment is typically below 50 ADMI units — meeting most surface water discharge standards.
Yes. Rajshree has designed ZLD systems for paper mills combining primary + secondary + tertiary treatment, followed by reverse osmosis (RO) or MBR for permeate recovery, and a multiple-effect evaporator to concentrate and crystallise the RO reject. The ZLD system recycles 85–95% of treated effluent back to the process, with only a small solid waste stream for disposal.
