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 & FILTHThe 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 GRAVITYThe 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 NUTRIENTSThe 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:

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.
