Abstract: Compact Sewage Treatment Process (CSTP) is essentially adopted for the collection, treatment and disposal or reuse of treated wastewater from individual household, isolated communities, Industries and other parts of communities. Centralized wastewater treatment system involves large quantities of wastewater. However, centralized collection and treatment of wastewater requires pumps, piping materials and energy, ultimately increasing the cost of the treatment system. Hence, constructing a centralized treatment system for small communities or urban areas will result in burden for low income countries. To overcome this problems or lacunae, the Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems (DEWATS) are the good alternatives which are more cost effective and efficient way of wastewater treatment to improve environmental health conditions as well as providing opportunities for re-use and resource recovery.
