Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Protecting Our Environment
Industrial processes generate wastewater laden with pollutants that threaten our water bodies and ecosystems. The use of an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) plays a critical role in safeguarding the environment by treating this wastewater to comply with regulations before discharge.
Treatment of ETP Process
The specific ETP design depends on the nature of the industrial wastewater. Here are the main categories:
- Chemical Treatment Process: Employ chemical reactions
to address wastewater containing high concentrations
of specific pollutants. - Biological Treatment Process: Utilize biological processes
with microorganisms to break down organic matter. - Tertiary Treatment Process: Rely on physical methods
like filtration and sedimentation to remove contaminants.
