Color Discharge Limit in India: 2026 CPCB Standards & Treatment Guide

Published: Jul 29, 2026

Color discharge limit in India under CPCB Schedule VI Part A is 400 Pt-Co for inland surface water unless a sector or CTO sets a tighter value. Textile CTOs commonly require 100–150 Pt-Co; CETP inlets often allow 200–400 Pt-Co; ZLD reuse streams are typically ≤50 Pt-Co. Report true and apparent color with IS 3025 Part 4: 2021 method codes. Fenton, DAF, and ozone polishing are the usual train to hit 100 Pt-Co at 500 m³/day.

South Africa Industrial Effluent Compliance Guide 2026

Published: Jul 29, 2026

South Africa's industrial effluent standard rests on the National Water Act 36 of 1998, GN R.399 General and Special limit values, and the 2013 GN 526 amendment that tightened COD to 30 mg/L Special, fluoride to 1.0 mg/L, and arsenic to 0.02 mg/L. Limit category follows the receiving-water class and RQOs, not industry type. This guide maps sector overlays, Section 53 penalties, and the treatment train — DAF, MBR, dosing, filtration — that holds each limit.
