Waste Water is Hazardous if not Treated Through Plants

Wastewater treatment is a critical process that is followed by industries


across the world to contribute to environment. Waste water treatment
plants India suppliers are making their range of plants as per the
standards set by the national and international bodies. Waste water is
formed through several sources including bathing, washing, toilet
waste, and rainwater runoff. Wastewater is a polluted form of water that
has many contaminants like bacteria, chemicals, and other harmful
toxins. The treatment of wastewater aims at reducing the contaminants
to acceptable levels to treat water and discharge into environment.

Water that is no longer fit for use and includes more contaminants is
known as wastewater. You have to treat wastewater to reduce pollution
in water bodies. The process is done by following many steps with the
help of precision plants and machines.
Fig Wastewater treatment process and its various stages

Lets dig out these stages in detail-

Wastewater collection

This is the initial step taken by wastewater plants runner. Collection


systems are put in place by home owners, municipal administration and
business owners to ensure that all the wastewater is gathered and taken
to the central point. This collected water is taken to the plant for further
treatment.

Odor control

At the plant, experts treat the odor of wastewater. Since it has lots of
dirty substances that cause a foul smell over time, odor treatment
process is performed at the treatment plant. In this process, experts use
chemicals to neutralize the foul smell producing elements. This is the
first treatment performed by the plant.
Screening

This is the next step that involves the removal of large objects for
instant cotton buds, nappies, diapers, plastics, rags, face wipes, broken
bottles, or other damaged equipments. In the plant, there is specialized
equipment used to get rid of grit, which is washed down inside the
sewer lines during rain. The collected waste is later removed and
transported and landfill.

Primary treatment

Primary treatment of wastewater involves the separation of macrobiotic


solid matter from the wastewater. Primary treatment is done by treating
wastewater inside big tanks, where solids are settled at the surface. The
sludge or solid waste settled at the tanks surface is removed by large
scrappers and is pushed to the center of the cylindrical tanks and
pumped out of the tanks for further treatment. The rest of the water is
forwarded to secondary treatment phase.

Secondary treatment

This treatment is also known as activated sludge process. Air is first


pumped inside the huge aeration tanks that mix the wastewater with the
seed sludge and boost the growth of bacteria. This bacteria uses oxygen
and small microorganisms consume the remaining organic matter. In
this process, large particles are formed and settled down at the bottom
of the huge tanks. The wastewater is passes through the large tanks for
3-6 hours.

Bio solids handling

All the solid matter is directed to digesters. These digesters are heated at
room temperature. The solid waste collected is treated for a month
through anaerobic digestion process. Methane gases are produced and
nutrient rich bio-solids are formed and later recycled and dewatered
inside local farms.
Tertiary treatment

This stage is similar to the drinking water treatment plants that clean
raw water and make it potable. In this process, 99% of impurities are
removed from water.

Disinfection

Disinfecting mixture of chlorine and sodium hypochlorite is used to


eliminate some disiease causing organisms inside the treated
wastewater.

Sludge treatment

Sludge collected from the primary and secondary processes is


transferred to the thickening tanks that allow it to settle down and later
extracted from the water. This is a time consuming process that runs for
24 hours. Remaining sludge is sent to huge aeration tanks for further
treatment. Treated sludge is used in agriculture.

All these steps are done by proficient experts that know the best use of
treatment plants. For more details about waste water and its treatment,
you can anytime contact the suppliers of Waste Water Treatment Plants
India. Write your query and wait for the experts to respond you.
