Wastewater Management with Chemtex Speciality Limited
About four-fifth of the total water supply, after going through various domestic and industrial applications revert to environment as contaminated water, making it unfit for re-use. But if treated and managed properly, a sizeable rate of this increasing demand can be dealt with, requiring most treatment plants to function optimally with proper physical and chemical mechanisms.
Legally and ethically, wastewater must be treated before its exposure in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries.
Wastewater Management correlates with the purification of polluted water, making it re-usable for comprehensive applications. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, dissolved gases, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with water quality, changing its chemistry making treatment a requirement for its reusability.
About 2000 – 3000 Liters of water is required for one person’s daily food production.
Lack of freshwater supply has compulsively persuaded rural farmers to treat wastewater from all possible sources, otherwise contaminated with domestic and commercial wastes. These effects can be seen on water resources like streams, ponds, tanks, and pipelines, generally contaminated or polluted because of the convergence of urbanization and unplanned utilization. Untreated wastewater utilized for watering system pose a potential risk to wellbeing of both consumers and irrigators, and wastewater sanitation concerns need to be satisfactorily attended.
Wastewater treatment deals with the processes required to decrease contaminant levels present in the water before its disposal in the environment, depending upon the source of water and their geographical conditions. We are witnessing a lot of implementation of physicochemical processes which handles wastewaters starting from simple removal of suspended matters to cleaning of RO membrane systems. The process may range from simple sedimentation and decantation to use of UV technology, depending upon the type of level of contamination. The treated waste water can be used for agriculture, soil conditioning, energy generation, etc.
Wastewater management has been neglected for a long period of time, owing to the confusion related to its infrastructure and installments but the time has come to rethink as the potential risk factor is increasing at a staggering rate. The problems and complications associated with fresh water availability is projected to hit up drastically by this decade and every socio-economic factor has to face the consequences.
Chemtex Speciality Limited deals with chemical treatment of wastewater, globally accepted by leading treatment plants, enhancing waste water process and clarification operations. Application of Wastewater treatment chemicals helps in removal and elimination of harmful pathogens, taking out hazardous chemicals, detergents and toxins, reducing odor and separating sediments from the wastewater. The treatment chemicals mainly include the use of coagulants and flocculants, basically working for essential settling of suspended solids in effluent water, causing secondary setlling of particles. Alum, Ferrous Sulfate, Ferric Chloride, PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride) are mainly used as coagulants. Flocculation is carried out by Anionic, Cationic and Non-ionic polyacrylamides, Polyamine, Poly DADMAC, etc.
