Based on the results of the comparative analysis between the
performances of the CST and the present packaged system carried
out during the present study, the present system can be a potential
alternative to the CST. Although, the packaged system could not
fulfil the Indian Disposal Standards on its own indicating the need
for further post treatment, it achieved considerably high removal
efficiency for BOD, COD, TSS and coliforms without requiring
frequent desludging. Due to its appreciably treatment efficiency for
primary onsite black water treatment and other favourable
economic and operational features, it can be a feasible alternative
to the CST for application in the rural and peri-urban areas of the
developing countries like India, where centralized treatment
facilities are not available.
