"CPHEEO Compliant. Ergon Powered. Total Per Capita Accountability."
📘 CPHEEO LPCD – Design Basis
Clause C-1: Definition of LPCD
Liters Per Capita Per Day (LPCD) is the average quantity of water supplied
or wastewater generated per person per day and forms the primary basis
for sewage and greywater system design.
Clause C-2: CPHEEO Recommended Domestic LPCD
As per the standard domestic water demand for urban areas with full water supply
shall be taken as 135 LPCD. 50 sewage , 85 Greywater
Clause C-3: Post-COVID Design Adoption
Considering enhanced hygiene practices, frequent handwashing, and
increased cleaning, a higher LPCD may be adopted for realistic and safe
design. Accordingly, 200 LPCD is adopted as a
project-specific CPHEEO-compliant design value.
| Area Category | CPHEEO Standard (Per Capita) | Compliance Goal |
| Metropolitan / Mega Cities | 150 LPCD | Full Sewerage & Industrial projects |
| Urban Cities (with Sewerage) | 135 Post Covid 200 LPCD | Domestic + Commercial + Villas |
| Towns (without Sewerage) | 70 LPCD | Basic Domestic |
| Public Stand Posts (PSPs) | 40 LPCD | Minimum Hygiene Standard |
🟢 Sewage Generation – CPHEEO- 50 LPCD
Clause S-1: Sewage Generation Factor
CPHEEO recommends that 80% to 90% of total water supply
shall be considered as sewage generation.
Sewage Flow (KLD) = Population × LPCD × 0.8 to 0.9 ÷ 1000
Clause S-2: Design Intent
The adopted sewage factor shall account for conveyance losses,
consumptive use, and evaporation, while ensuring that treatment units
are not hydraulically under-sized.
🔵 Greywater Generation – CPHEEO - Post Covid - 150 LPCD
Clause G-1: Greywater Definition
Greywater includes wastewater generated from bath, wash basin,
laundry, and kitchen (after grease trap), excluding toilet waste.
Clause G-2: Greywater Proportion
As per CPHEEO planning practice, greywater typically constitutes 60% to 70% of total domestic water consumption.
Greywater Flow (KLD) = Population × Greywater LPCD ÷ 1000
Clause G-3: Post-COVID Greywater LPCD
In post-COVID conditions, greywater generation shall be adopted as 150 LPCD due to increased washing and cleaning practices,
unless supported by lower metered data approved by authorities.
📐 Design & Compliance Note
LPCD values adopted for sewage and greywater design shall be clearly stated in DPRs, drawings, and tender documents and shall conform to CPHEEO philosophy, subject to approval by local bodies and Pollution Control Boards.
Separate treatment of sewage and greywater is encouraged to improve
reuse efficiency, reduce load on STPs, and promote sustainable water
management.
🟢 Primary Bio Collection & Bio Anaerobic & Anaerobic Bacterial Digestion
Raw domestic sewage is treated through where naturally occurring anaerobic bacteria decompose organic matter without oxygen, power, or chemicals. Raw sewage comprising blackwater and greywater first enters the Ergon Bio Collection Tank, sealed anaerobic Cylindrical Bio Collection Tank biological digestion, a sealed anaerobic chamber engineered with Ergon’s proprietary Bio-Nano coating. In the absence of oxygen, specialized anaerobic microorganisms—supported by the Ergon Bio Cleanser enzyme process—initiate natural biological digestion.
During this stage, complex organic matter such as fecal solids, fats, oils, grease, starches, and proteins undergo sequential biochemical transformations (hydrolysis → acidogenesis → acetogenesis → methanogenesis). This process significantly reduces organic load, odour, and suspended solids, converting raw sewage into partially treated, odourless, and stabilized effluent without electricity, chemicals, or mechanical equipment.

Glucose → VFAs + CO₂ + H₂
Stage 3 – Acetogenesis
CPHEEO 2013 Sec. 7.4.3 | IS 2470-1 Cl. 5.3
VFAs → Acetate + CO₂ + H₂
Stage 4 – Methanogenesis

Stage II Secondary Bio Evaporation Tank
🔵 Secondary Bio Evaporation Tank – Stage II: Aerobic Polishing & Evapotranspiration (ZLD)
Secondary Bio Evaporation Tank - Aerobic Biological Treatment with Evapotranspiration
In Stage II, the pre-treated effluent enters the Ergon Bio Evaporation Tank, where aerobic microorganisms further oxidize residual organic matter in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. This aerobic bio-polishing process reduces remaining BOD, COD, and pathogens, producing clear, non-toxic, and environmentally safe water.
- Aerobic Oxidation: Organics → CO₂ + H₂O
- Nitrification: NH₄⁺ → NO₃⁻ → N₂
- Evaporation & Transpiration
