Industrial Wastewater Treatment And Its Benefits

By Jennifer Parker


Water treatment process is usually divided into various stages. This is done with intention improving the quality of output. In preliminary stage, large filtering screens are used to ensure large solid materials are removed. Items removed during this stage include; papers, metals, plastics, silt and grit. Second stage in Industrial Wastewater Treatment plant is primary stage. During this stage, organic materials are removed by passing waste water through sedimentation tank (primary). Wastes are removed using both biological and physical processes.

This second stage ends at secondary sedimentation tank. Within this tank sludge is formed when biomass settles. Clear water forms on upper part of tank. This water is then allowed to move to tertiary treatment stage. This is actually the third stage. Here pathogens present in clear water are killed using appropriate chemicals. This process is usually repeated many times, in case water is to come into contact with individuals.

Although, wastewater treatment is an expensive procedure, untold benefits are enjoyed, if process is conducted appropriately. Process ensures that water consumed by people is not only clean, but also safe for human consumption. Procedure plays an important role in improving the comfort of individuals. Benefits increases tremendously in case, process is carried out in correct manner. Fewer benefits are likely to be realized, in case, management is not done as expected.

Procedure is really helpful in reducing amount of waste produced in a country. In other words, it plays an essential role in reducing amount waste released into surroundings. This creates a nice and healthy environment for the good of people and animals living within it. Procedure contributes abundantly in reduction of environmental pollution. This allows people to live comfortably and happily owing to lack of discomforts associated with dirt.

Most importantly, this procedure plays an essential role in reducing water pollution. This is accomplished as a result of removal of both inorganic and organic solids from water. This impacts health of aquatic animals and of people positively. Amount of money spent by authority in financing projects intended keep environment clean is reduces drastically, if appropriate methods are used when treating wastewater.

Substances trapped within primary and secondary sedimentation tanks form sludge. It is important to understand that these substances are usually small organic solids. This means they are biodegradable. Sludge can help in production of energy. This is only achievable if treatment of biodegradable material is done within an enclosed area using anaerobic bacteria. Methane gas released by the bacteria can be used to produce energy like electricity.

Biodegradable material collected within the tanks during primary stage can be dried, hence forming natural fertilizer. In most cases, drying is usually done within drying lagoons so as to acquire pleasing results. Resulting fertilizer can be applied in agricultural sector to increase crop yields. This leads to reduction in the usage of chemical fertilizers, which pollute the surroundings.

When water is treated using appropriate methods, the number of people who becomes sick as a result of drinking untreated water decreases. People become healthy and strong. This enables them to work hard, hence improving economy of a country. Their living standards are also likely to improve because less money will be used in paying hospital bills.
