Wastewater Treatment - Domestic, Commercial & Industrial

Author: Shubham Karnani

Mandatory treatment of wastewater is the need of the hour to get rid of harmful pollutants excreted by domestic, commercial, agricultural or industrial applications.

Wastewater Treatment rendering otherwise unsuitable water for domestic, industrial or commercial utilization. The sources which can be anything from mildly polluted storm water run-off to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and industries. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended particulate matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with the quality and need treatment to make it reusable.

Domestic wastewater contains large suspended wastes like rags, single-use plastics, smaller colloids like papers, peels and other minute pollutants resulting from human wastes, laundry wash offs, kitchen applications. Commercial wastewater constitutes pollutants from commercial properties like offices, hospitals, hotels, etc., that end up back in the environment springing harmful effects on the same. Industrial waste includes toxic chemicals, organic effluents, heavy metals, harmful microorganisms, foul odor which when discharged in nearby water sources like small canals, ponds, river streams, alters its original chemistry. The gruesome fact is these are the only water sources for many other domestic and potable applications. The treatment technologies that are followed considerably depends upon a series of steps tin order to reduce the waste toxicity and concentration.

Simple ways by which contamination of water can be prevented:

  • Advanced technologies to prevent microbial induced contamination
  • Properly treated water be allowed to flow from industries into water sources.
  • Prevent farm run-offs with chemicals and pathogens into water sources
  • Drinking water sources should not be used for any other potable applications
  • Exercise Chemical treatment of industrial and commercial water

Preliminary treatment involves the removal of unwanted, suspended or dissolved solids from sewage. This treatment primarily involves the use of polyelectrolytes which traps strong objects and sediments to evacuate suspended solids. Following up with this treatment is the removal of dissolved organic matter that may have missed out by any chance on the prelim phase. Final treatment cleans as well as disinfects relatively considerable number of polluting elements from sewage, producing effluent of water through routine chemical treatment. This chemical treatment involves the use of biocides, disinfectants, deodorizers, decoloring agents, coagulants, flocculants and others.

  • In domestic and commercial applications, wastewater is routed through pipelines to nearby drainage facilities that connect water bodies. What can be done is, the wastewater be transported to a sewage treatment plant before making its way to outer environment. · Industries can afford their own waste water treatment plant where the wastewater may be treated with proper chemicals using technologically advanced resources before its exposure. This treated water can be used for innumerable applications including its reuse in the same industry, saving water. All that is required is proper knowledge and execution.
Chemtex Speciality Limited is one of the leading manufacturers of Wastewater Treatment Chemicals based on cationic, anionic and non-ionic polyelectrolytes, organic and inorganic polymers, formulated with extensive operational and scientific research that meets all the standard industrial and commercial needs and requirements.
