Industrial processes generate a unique blend of wastewater requiring specialized treatment before being safely released or reused. These systems rely on a multi-stage approach to effectively remove contaminants, often exceeding the standards for domestic wastewater treatment.
Stage 1: Pre-treatment
This initial stage focuses on removing large solids, grit, and oils that could damage equipment downstream. It employs:
From pre-treatment to sludge management, ChemREADY designs systems that meet compliance and performance goals.
Stage 2: Primary Treatment
This stage focuses on removing settleable and floatable solids. It primarily involves:
Stage 3: Secondary Treatment
This crucial stage removes dissolved organic matter and biological contaminants like bacteria. Two common methods are:
Stage 4: Tertiary Treatment (Optional)
This final stage removes additional pollutants for specific purposes, like:
Protect your operation from violations and costly shutdowns with a properly engineered treatment program.
Beyond Treatment: Sludge Management
Throughout the process, solid waste accumulates in the form of sludge. This requires proper treatment and disposal, such as:
By meticulously addressing each stage, industrial wastewater treatment systems ensure that treated water meets environmental regulations and can be safely discharged or even reused, minimizing its environmental impact ChemREADY offers custom solutions to industrial wastewater processes, from pre-treatment to sludge management, and everything in between.
