With recent developments taking place all over the place, it
also leads to many more problems to the world and to the environment as well.
Many countries are now taking great measures to protect the environment while working
for their development. One of the major issues in front of the government is
how to protect water from getting degraded from the waste produced by the
industries and industrial effluents mostly dumped into the water. Other than
industries, many household waste is also being dumped in water and thus making
it harmful and unhealthy for further use.
It is necessary that the waste water that are being extracted
from industries and household premises are being treated so that it can be used
again and thus water can also be saved as there’s already a dearth of pure
water. Wastewater treatment plant manufacturers are making such processes and mechanisms that are used to
treat waters contaminated from any kind of chemicals so that it can be re-used.
Some of the industries where waste water is released in large amount are iron
and steel industry, food industry, mines and quarries, paper and pulp industry,
water treatment, complex organic chemicals industry and nuclear industry.
Waste from all these industries contains different kind of
chemicals and toxic acids that can harm the whole environment in some or the
other way. To treat different kinds of chemicals, different treatment equipments
and filters are used. Brine treatment is the most common treatment in which
dissolved salt ions are being removed from the water. Then comes solids removal
where by using simple sedimentation process, big solid particles are removed
from water. Oil and Greece removal is another big usage of water waste
management, where by the process of skimming, these oils are removed. It is
also a very cheap way to treat waste water. And then removal of biodegradable
organics which is done by use of trickling filters.
