Industrial wastewater treatment systems come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, from simple, compact units to intricate, multi-unit applications that support numerous processes. Your needs and the processes you are designing for must be taken into account when planning your water treatment system.
Complex processes are combined in an industrial wastewater treatment plant. Basically, this system converts waste streams into effluent that can be released into the environment or municipal sewage treatment facilities. The methods used to treat the water are heavily influenced by the types of pollutants found in the used streams. It's critical to comprehend how each industry's processes differ from one another and which will best meet your needs.
Basically, there are three things you should consider before making a wastewater treatment facility investment.
Does the effluent from your plant's processes contain a lot of BOD, oil, and grease?
Does the effluent contain a high concentration of suspended metal particles, such as iron, nickel, zinc, and lead? This kind of effluent is typically found in plants that work with metal.
Do inorganic contaminants present in the effluent have a high concentration?
These factors largely determine how industrial wastewater treatment technologies are divided. Understanding the regulatory requirements is a crucial component of designing your wastewater treatment facility. The regulations and authorities that apply to your plant will vary depending on where it is located. These authorities will prefer either sending the treated effluent to the nearby municipal plant or releasing it into the environment.
The regulatory authority will have rules for the treated effluent, including restrictions on what and how much can be discharged each day. For instance, the wastewater generated by the processing of canned beans at your facility must undergo biological wastewater treatment, where the organic materials are broken down. After primary treatment, it is used to remove any contaminants that were not removed. If you are discharging the effluent into a lake, this is especially problematic because an environment with a high concentration of organic waste will have a significant impact on the habitat's natural composition.
To decide which processes to include in your industrial wastewater treatment plant, have a treat-ability study performed. Which contaminants are in your wastewater will be determined by this investigation or test. You should be able to select from the various industrial wastewater treatment systems on the basis of these findings.
