Wastewater is any water whose quality has been adversely affected by human activity. Wastewater can begin from a variety of sources such as residential, industrial, business, or agricultural activities, etc. Depending on the source, the composition of wastewater ranges from mildly polluted stormwater run-off to toxic wastewater from chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and metal industries. The presence of pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended particulate matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, pesticides, bio-solids, and many more undesirable substances can impair the quality of water.

Why treats wastewater?

Domestic wastewater contains a large amount of solid material, food particles, toilet paper, grease, oil, soap, salts, metal detergent, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Industrial wastewater is released from different commercial and manufacturing units such as textiles, printing, F&B, and production to name a few. it contains toxic chemicals, organic effluents, and harmful microorganisms. The discharge of industrial, and commercial waste into nearby water sources is another major cause of water pollution. The effects can be seen in water resources such as streams, ponds, tanks, and pipelines, which are often contaminated or polluted due to the discharge of sewage and garbage. Different kinds of germs which cause diseases grow in polluted water. There are a number of ways in which wastewater can cause pollution problems. These water bodies are the main sources of many other domestic applications. So, Proper treatments need to be carried out before it is exposed to another body of water.

Simple ways by which contamination of water can be prevented:

• Preventing microbial contamination by using advanced technologies
• Water sources should not be contaminated by farm run-off with chemicals and pathogens
• Use of pesticides should be reduced
• Reducing industrial wastes being discharged onto agricultural fields
• Safer practices for the use of wastewater
• Should not throw discarded antibiotics or other medication down the toilet or sink

By treating wastewater, we can protect the environment and the planet as a whole. Wastewater treatment easily removes impurities from wastewater and is converted into effluent that can be returned back to the water cycle or reused. The treatment process takes place in a wastewater treatment plant.

The primary level of treatment includes the removal of unwanted, suspended, or dissolved solids from sewage. In this process, strong objects are trapped by sieving procedures and suspended solids are eliminated by sedimentation. These large materials are disposed of at the landfill.

Secondary treatment also removes remaining biodegradable matter and suspended solids that may have missed out on the primary level of treatment. In this process, wastewater gets mixed with bacteria and oxygen. The oxygen helps to eradicate pollutants faster. Then the water is taken to settling tanks where the sludge again settles, leaving the water free of pollutants.

Tertiary treatment eradicates a relatively considerable number of polluting elements and remaining dissolved substances like color, metals, organic chemicals, and nutrients such as nitrogen, and phosphorus. This chemical treatment involves the use of physical, chemical, and biological techniques to remove contaminants from water.

Chemtex Speciality Limited manufactures wastewater treatment chemicals meeting all standard requirements, helping in the removal and elimination of harmful pathogens, and bacteria, and taking out hazardous chemicals, detergents, and toxins from the wastewater.
