How Wastewater Treatment Helps in Boosting Environmental Sustainability?

Image
  Did you know only a small percentage (3%) of the world’s water is suitable for human consumption? Wastewater treatment   was never a topic of discussion until water scarcity becomes the largest threat. The United Nations has emphasized water due significance by considering it as one of its millennium development targets. It has encouraged governments to start building new projects and technologies to cushion its effects on the global population. he initiatives are rainwater harvesting, desalination, water location transfers, and wastewater treatment. With these practices, water treatment is encouraging environmental sustainability through the following ways- 1. Energy Production:  By using microorganisms (bacteria) in the sludge phase to disintegrate organic matter, it leads to biomass production. Further, methane with a high percentage of biogas is used for generating energy to run the water treatment complex. Biogas is also useful for producing electricity and domestic cooking fuel

Organic & Inorganic Waste – How Bar Screening Can Help Simplify Water Treatment

Image
 Most people think about wastewater inorganic removal and treatment procedures as very complicated and critical tasks. No doubt, these procedures are very critical but they can be made simpler and more efficient if the company chooses to invest in the right wastewater bar screens , the most appropriate sludge screening systems , and an efficient fat and oil grease screening apparatus. All of these tools form a very important component of wastewater treatment plants. People usually envision a wastewater treatment facility as a place that is overly hazardous and laced with chemicals and toxic fumes all over. This is not the case. Different types of waste materials pose different types of risks to the people handling these waste streams. Not all of them are hazardous and similarly, not all of them should be taken lightly. What Is Organic Waste? Organic water waste comes from a wide variety of sources. The primary source of organic waste is domestic wastewater. This is discharged into var

Role of Wastewater Clarifiers and How to Select Them

Image
 Clarification is essential in a wastewater treatment procedure to eradicate suspended solids through gravity settling, giving clarified liquid sewerage. Primary and Secondary Clarification Primary clarifiers, located downstream of the plant's grit chambers and screening, use gravity to separate settleable solids from the influent of raw wastewater. Secondary clarifiers are built downstream of the activated sludge facility or biological treatment to separate the treated wastewater from the biological mass used for treatment. Primary Clarification It removes oil, grease, and suspended solids. Solids floating at the surface are eradicated before biological treatment. Secondary Clarification It tracks the biological treatment to return activated sludge. Waste sludge is eradicated and thickened before the digestion method. Determine Which Type of Wastewater Clarifiers are Right for Your Plant Circular Clarifier: It has different forms, including a spiral scraper, hydraulic removal ty

Wastewater Treatment: An Overview!

Image
 With the ephemeral boost in population comes an increase in water consumption and pollution. Therefore, the challenge is to build wastewater treatment technologies that are accessible and efficient so that no polluted water is discharged into the environment. Firstly, it is essential to know what wastewater is and how you recognize it as waste. It includes water from businesses and homes and runoff from outdoor activities. This post highlights different steps and methods used to treat wastewater and characteristics taken into account while choosing the right wastewater treatment system. Read on to learn about the wastewater treatment system: Importance of Wastewater Treatment Wastewater consists of different types of pollutants. They are physical, biological, and chemical. It is vital to ensure that water released into the environment is clean and is useful for agricultural purposes like soil irrigation. The objective is to preserve nature while saving energy and costs. Different Pha

Wastewater Biological Treatment – 2 Types Of Water Clarifiers That Make It A Success

Image
 A wastewater biological treatment plant uses several complicated components such as a wastewater screw pump, screens, and wastewater clarifiers . The entire process of biological water treatment seems to be very easy but it requires a complex array of connections and intersections to be successful. Any such treatment is going to rely heavily on the successful breakdown and removal of bacteria and other small organisms, nematodes, and organic wastes.  The most important objective of biological wastewater treatment is to achieve efficient and effective decomposition of waste so that this material can be collected at the end for proper and ethical disposal. Biological treatment is one of the easiest to perform and ecologically as well as economically friendly processes as compared to any other chemical or mechanical water treatment process. It makes use of several wastewater screens , screw pumps, and water clarifiers at various stages. These components help remove the organic matter a

7 Types, Importance & Cleaning Of Wastewater Screens

Image
 Wastewater screening is a very essential procedure of the entire wastewater treatment process. There are different types of screens that are installed in any plant along with other components such as wastewater screw pumps and wastewater clarifiers . All of these have different functions and uses. To put it in perspective, a screen is a device that has several openings in it. It is used to remove big suspended or floating matter from the sewage water. Any treatment unit would be incomplete without these screens because they prevent any potential damage that might occur to the equipment if the wastewater goes in and out without proper screening. Let us have a look at a few most commonly used wastewater screens in any wastewater biological treatment plant:  Coarse Screens   These are also known by the name of racks. These are usually bar screens that have vertical or inclined bars. These are spaced at equal intervals across the entire construction of the screen. The whole setup is pos

Pumps, Screens & Clarifiers - 3 Valuable Investments For Your Wastewater Treatment Plant

Image
If you run a wastewater biological treatment plant, you must have done your research on wastewater screw pumps , screens, and wastewater clarifiers already. These are not just a few products that facilitate the smooth operation of your plant. These are your valuable investments and you should make sure to invest in only the best quality available in the market. Wastewater Screw Pumps Two of the most popular types are centrifugal pumps and booster pumps. Centrifugal pump is a generic name for pumps that have one or more impellers. You should be able to find different types of configurations for different applications. These are typically electric motor driven but other drive types are also available. Centrifugal pumps are suitable for almost all kinds of liquids. They are able to handle the highest level of flow rate without any problem. You can install them to handle both dirty and clean liquids and fluids with low viscosity levels. The only thing that you have to take care of is that
