Types of Wastewater Treatment Plants

Global records count India as the next vulnerable place with major water scarcity. Water demand will grow in the coming years with rigorous water usage in diverse sectors. This concern has alarmed the industries about water wastage. The impact of industrial wastewater is detrimental to the environment. Industries need to adopt modern wastewater treatment techniques to cure the cause. For this reason, sustainable wastewater treatment solutions have been introduced to support the environment, society, and industrial needs.

This write-up shares some of these solutions that improve water quality, supply and wastewater management.

Municipal Water Treatment Plants

 Municipal Water caters to the water requirement for basic household activities. However, there are challenges that municipalities overcome to ensure water safety for conducting those activities. The Municipal Water Treatment Plants treat the wastewater that comes from multiple sources varying from sinks and baths to sewage and other domestic activities. It is a process where water crosses through various stages before it is considered fit to meet the quality standards and regulations.

Sewage Water Treatment Plants

Sewage water consists of human waste and pollutants from routine household activities that can harm the health of humans and aquatic life. It is the wastewater generated from usual household chores that results in the accumulation of these impurities into sewage. Therefore, wastewater management companies in India collect and treat this water in their sewage water treatment plants. Thereby, making the water suitable for the environment. 

Common Effluent Treatment Plants

 CETPs are counted among the best wastewater treatment solutions that help in collectively resolving wastewater problems faced by small-scale industries. Most of the small-scale industries favour CETPs as they can treat wastewater from multiple industries and also provide various cost-saving benefits. Therefore, addressing problems such as scarcity of land, big capital investments, and operations & maintenance costs, etc.

Recycle and Reuse of Water

 Untreated water from washrooms, sinks, and other similar sources can pollute the water resources. For this reason, wastewater management companies in India have dedicated treatment plants to recycle the contaminated water for reuse. In the recycling phase, the wastewater undergoes advanced filtration processes to meet the water quality standards, so it can be reused for various industrial purposes.

Conclusion

 The modern water treatment plants aim to enhance the quality of marine and human life. Thus, wastewater treatment is essential for minimising the detrimental impact of polluted water on the environment.
