Why You Need A Waste Water Treatment Plant

Nowadays the pollution standard has highly increased. It is affecting the living organisms. All the natural elements including food, water, plants, animals and even small insects are corrupted by the waste materials and chemicals which result in their death, dysfunction or illness. The water that we drink daily, and its usage in various sectors has also contaminated itself. Owing to all these problems the waste water treatment plant for cleaning the residuals and chemicals pertaining in the water is introduced. This process helps in improving the quality of wastewater.

WHAT DOES THIS PLAN ACHEIVE ?

REMOVING DIRT & FILTH-

The waste water treatment plant removes materials like rocks, filth, wood and carcasses of dead animals which spread foul smell and infectious air-borne diseases. They have to be removed or else severe health problems would be caused in the future.

The solid waste materials are kept in huge combusted tanks called the digester, for about 20 to 30 days. These tanks bear high temperatures. The microorganisms break down the material and decrease its volume. The foul smell and micro organisms which are infectious are removed. They are either sent to landfills or are used as fertilizers.

FORCE OF GRAVITY-

The system of wastewater is dependent on the gravitational force to shift the sewage from your residence to the treatment plant. These plants therefore are located on the ground, that is lower essentially near a river. The excess water can be released there. By default, if the plant is located above the ground, than the wastewater has to be pumped out by aeration tanks. After this, the gravitational force helps to circulate the wastewater through the process.

The effluent treatment plants are used by thermal, automobile, steel and metal finishing and industries. There are other water treatment plants such as, sewage treatment plants (STP) and common & combined effluent treatment plants (CETP).

BACTERIA AND NUTRIENTS-

The BOD or the biodegradable organics act as food substance for the microorganisms. These microorganisms bring together this matter with oxygen from the H2O, to get the required energy to double themselves. These oxygen is also needed by fish and other marine creatures in the river water. Such water pollution filled with filth and infection, creates a dead zone where not a single fish is seen. Heavy organic waste discharged in the river leads to killing of marine creatures. The water plants help in removing this bacterias, and thus saving the marine world from dying.

NUTRIENTS & NITRATES

These includes phosphates and nitrates. It can lead to excessive algae, and turn themselves into the heavy loads of biodegradable waste. The treatment process removes such loads, and it also functions at the industrial plant, before discharging the water in municipality pipes or rivers.

The effluent treatment plants prevent the air and water pollution. They are installed in order to reduce the biodegradable waste, and control the level of contamination in the purification process. The pharmaceutical, leather and chemical industries are the prime users of this plant.

DIVERSE PROCESSES

The waste water plants use several dirt removal processes. They are:

• The double stage activated solids with nitrification tank.
• 
  
• elongated aeration.
• 
  
• circulating biological contacts and
• 
  
• solids activated by purified oxygen.

Other methods include chlorination and ultraviolet radiation disinfection. The noticeable concentrations have the range from 0.20 to 1.4 for ciprofloxacin, 0.061 to 1.1 for tetracycline and 0.21 to 7.9 for trimethoprim. There is a visible difference in the concentrations of the antibiotics in both the processes. The whole treatment process concluded that, pollutants in the waste water can be removed by the combination of physiological and biological chemical processes along with the general operating system of the plant.
