Untreated sewage is one of the major 21st-century challenges faced by the world today. Several factors such as population growth, rapid urbanization, industrialization and lack of innovative sewage water treatment solutions have led to an increase in sewage volume globally.

An extensive amount of sewage water is generated every day from households, industries and agriculture. Raw sewage contains harmful components such as chemicals, dangerous pathogens, toxin substances, debris and heavy metals. Therefore, when the sewage is released into the environment without proper sewage water treatment, it causes water pollution. Consequently, it threatens to impact human health and the environment

Wastewater treatment plants are used across the world to treat the extensive amount of wastewater generated every day. The main aim is to protect the public from health hazards caused due to untreated wastewater. Moreover, wastewater treatment is essential to prevent environmental pollution. Biological wastewater treatment is the most important process at any treatment facility where living microorganisms play a vital role in degrading organic waste. Among the various components of the system, MLSS is an operational control parameter that needs to be optimized for best treatment results.

Portable toilets have the potential to revolutionize the sanitation and hygiene standards in the construction industry. In India, workers typically spend 8 to 9 hours at construction sites, which are sometimes located at far off places or the outskirts of the city. There are other concerns like open defecation practice, which is still prevalent. It is also important to maintain cleanliness and promote hygiene among workers, as part of the Swachh Bharat initiative by the government of India.

The petrochemical industry is one of the fastest growing industries which contributes significantly to the growth of world economies. However, different refinery activities such as equipment cooling and desalting which involves water results in the generation of effluents. Also, an extensive amount of hazardous waste consisting of organic and inorganic compounds are left behind, which needs treatment. 

Today, a large amount of wastewater is generated from urban and rural households, manufacturing industries, agricultural activities etc. It has become a major global challenge to treat sewage efficiently. The sewage treatment plants have been utilizing physical, biological and chemical treatment methods to treat all kinds of solid waste, toxins, chemicals and other harmful substances present in the sewage.

Wastewater originates from mainly two sources: households and industries. An extensive amount of domestic waste and waste from manufacturing processes are generated every day, which contains chemicals, toxic substances, biodegradable materials or organic waste and much more. Other sources include agricultural activities, rain runoff and animal wastes.

The anaerobic treatment of waste consists of primarily four stages where different microorganisms act in an oxygen-free environment and produce methane-CH4.

The process mainly contained three stages namely: Primary treatment, Secondary Treatment, and Tertiary Treatment. In the primary treatment, large objects, solids are screened using filters and removed. In the secondary treatment, more solid particles and organic matter present in the wastewater is removed using biological treatment. In the tertiary process, disinfection or chlorination takes place to make the effluent good enough to be released or reused.

We humans have the tendency to generate waste and sewage wherever we live without thinking about the need to dispose of it holistically. The raw sewage that has been fed into Oceans not only disturbs its ecosystem but poses a great threat of disease to the marine flora-fauna as well as humans.

Background: A 40-year-old public limited company, located in Mahad MIDC, Maharashtra, is one of the manufacturers of acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate. The unit generated two streams of different characteristics. One stream has high COD, low TDS levels whereas the second stream has low COD, high TDS levels. This varied characteristic of effluent created a challenge [...]

Wastewater which contains a large amount of toxic chemical is treated well before releasing it into the environment to prevent harm to humans, animals and plants. The anaerobic process is one of the most effective and efficient biological processes for the treatment of wastewater where micro-organisms are used to degrade the organic matter. The process is undertaken in the absence of oxygen.

Without proper wastewater treatment, it disturbs the environment as it is highly harmful to humans, animals and plant ecosystem. Therefore, the primary objective of the wastewater treatment process is to dispose of the wastewater into the surrounding without causing any damage to human health as well as the environment.

The post-apocalyptic vision of the future that many a movie have depicted involves a scenario where water becomes unaffordable for common folk. This scary future could very soon come true for Gulf countries.

Wastewater treatment is essential not only to ensure that our groundwater sources are protected from contamination but also to ensure that scarce freshwater can be used for essential purposes only. And one big and often unheralded aspect of wastewater treatment is odour control.

Drug resistant disease strains are one of the biggest healthcare concerns globally today. Overuse of antibiotics is only one reason why diseases are becoming drug resistant though. An equally big role is played by inefficient wastewater treatment which results in antibiotic residues seeping into soil and water.

The Swachh Bharat story cannot become reality unless we ensure manual scavenging is actually eradicated. And this can only happen when we change individual practises and upgrade India’s sanitation infrastructure. And when we make sure we don’t treat lives of sanitation workers as disposable.

Our clients also have a meat processing [...]

Untreated waste is not just a critical threat to public health, it is also a major threat to the environment. Toxic waste contaminates our air, soil and water, creating a cycle of harm breaking which will need all of us to make lifestyle changes at an individual level too.

Solid waste management is fast becoming an urban crisis in cities all across India. Managing this will require individuals to also support civic bodies and be conscious of the waste they generate. An ideal start would be waste segregation and for all housing societies to start composting organic waste.

There isn’t enough conversation about septic tanks in our regular day-to-day lives. As a consequence, we don’t know enough about septic tanks. What do they do and how do they work and how do we maintain them? These are all questions everybody should know the answers too.

It is crucial to examine what goes into our waste water, and know and understand where it goes once it leaves our home. It is time to start examining what we put in our cleaning products and how toxic the waste water we create is. Because the health of our waterways, oceans and all the living beings depends on it.

Locals spotted several blue dogs in the Taloja industrial area. The dismal story of the pollution of the Kasadi river by industries in the area is the causal heart rending eye-opener. The life of animals, both aquatic and terrestrial is under high risk. The once lively river is now full of untreated harmful waste that has depleted the aquatic life of the river. The number of crabs and fish has drastically fallen down. The major contributors to the raging pollution levels are the dye and chemical industries that are in the proximity of the water body. This is a clear impact of effluents from industries affecting innocent and helpless animals. Social workers and activists striving to save the river since a decade hold the irresponsible behaviour of the industries and the neglect shown by the waste water treatment body as the major cause, and rightly so.

The general awareness regarding microbes has greatly increased over the past few decades. However, little is known about their distant cousins, ‘Protozoans and Metazoans’, more popularly known as ‘higher life forms’. Both these categories of organisms are of great value to industrial effluent treatment. Microorganisms constitute 95% of population in an ideal activated sludge ,of which 4 % of this microbial population consist of higher life forms. Although these higher life forms contribute very little to the removal of organic nutrients, their presence however greatly enhances the clarity of the water and provides an indication of effluent condition (Eg. Toxicity,organic load, dissolved oxygen etc.).

Mumbai is the city of glitz and glamor; of highrises and plush hotels and housing complexes, of bars and exotic restaurants, of soaring real estate values, of gilded star homes at Bandra and Juhu, of swanky cars and malls and international brands etc. But underneath all that jazz, Mumbai grapples with a giant problem- waste management. The city’s faring poorly when it comes to handling proper, hygienic disposal of human and kitchen refuse. Any number of factors might be responsible for this.

In recent times, due to the limited availability of water resources and rapid industrialization, it is mandatory to preserve water quality. Ammonia is one of the most common pollutant observed in industrial and agricultural effluents. It is used as a bleaching agent in chemical industries and also in production of fertilizers, plastics and explosives. In effluents ammonia exists in equilibrium with ammonium ions. The concentration of ammonia gas increases with increase in pH and temperature. At neutral pH most of the ammonia exists as dissolved ammonium ions, but as the pH increases to 12, both ammonium ions and gaseous ammonia coexist in the effluent. The estimation of Ammonia in effluents is generally carried out by Nessler’s method and is determined as Ammonical Nitrogen (NH3-N) in ppm.
