Water Recycling Treatment Process

Do you know what the three processes for wastewater treatment are? Do you know how to make your wastewater treatment process more profitable?

Wastewater is defined as that which has been previously used in industrial or household processes. When drinking water is used to wash dishes, clothes, washing machines or any other process and is returned to the drain or to the pipe, it becomes wastewater.

Wastewater is loaded, to a greater or lesser extent, with pollutants resulting from the Water Recycling Treatment Process to which it has been subjected. These contaminants prevent its immediate reuse for human consumption or for any of the aforementioned processes.

Wastewater treatments have the function of restoring the usable condition to the waters through different processes that help to restore some degrees of potability. In this way, the water that has undergone treatment can be used for irrigation, fountains and other public uses.

To carry out the treatment of wastewater, specialized plants are built, where the waters are subjected to specific processes that are usually the same in all plants in the world.

Wastewater treatment processes

There are three processes for wastewater treatment, which are:

Physical treatment

This treatment is responsible for removing solid pollutants such as sand, garbage, plastics, among others. Typically, the precipitation process is used with or without coagulating agents.

Chemical treatment

For this treatment, chemical agents are added to the water, which has the function of reacting with the pollutants to eliminate them, dissolve them or separate them from the water.

Biological treatment

This treatment uses processes such as post-precipitation, artificial wetlands, anaerobic digestion, and others where the purifying agents are biological.

However, the costs of these treatments are often high and the resulting water quality is not always the best. For this reason, it is necessary to find a way to use processes that make wastewater treatment profitable and also offer higher quality in them.

Modern wastewater treatments include a combination of chemical, physical and biological processes.

The first step to optimize the wastewater treatment system is to make an adequate selection of these three processes and, once the technology has been chosen, it is necessary to make it efficient and adaptable according to the conditions of each process to comply with the requirements of quality and environment of each company.

Flexible and modular system design service providers for wastewater treatment

Here are Plants Technology Services, a provider of flexible and modular systems design services for wastewater treatment:

A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a division of plants created to efficiently support the production units of the plants.

WWTP, a world-class supplier, offers its experience and knowledge to the Chemical, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage, Cosmetic and Personal Hygiene sectors; through a wide portfolio of technological and engineering services.

Within its wide range of products, it offers design services for modular and flexible systems for wastewater treatment.

As a success story in biological systems, Plants has integrated modular and flexible systems into its projects to optimize operating costs and increase the quality of treated water. Other benefits obtained have been the reduction of space in relation to conventional systems, greater security in the protection of the water table and the reduction in energy consumption.

There are many projects that Plants have developed, of different magnitudes and complexities around the world, managing to optimize costs without forgetting the improvement in the quality of the treated water.

Wastewater treatment is a constantly evolving business - whether through new regulations or new manufacturing processes. This is why manufacturers shouldn't get attached to rigid systems - installing a platform that can be broken down into modules and updated or added as needed.
