Abstract: The present study is focused on a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) located at Umaraya, District Baroda. Waste water from about thirty five small and medium scale industries majorly comprising of chemical manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries are treated in this CETP. The study here is aimed for providing economic feasibility report of the proposed physicochemical process replacing the conventional biological treatment in the CETP. It has been suggested to replace by advanced oxidation and filtration units. The cost estimation consisting of capital cost, materials cost and operation and maintenance cost were carried out for the proposed structure. The feasibility studies conducted shows that replacement with the proposed treatment system is technically feasible but expensive.
