The process of removing contaminants from sewage or industrial wastewater and improving the physicochemical and biological characteristics of water using various physical, chemical, and biological processes that allow the safe discharge of used water into the environment or the reuse of water for domestic or industrial purposes is known as wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment is usually performed in a sewage treatment plant for sewage water and an effluent treatment plant for industrial wastewater.
Depending on the source of origin, wastewater can be classified as domestic wastewater, also known as sewage water, and industrial wastewater, also known as effluent.
Sewage water usually consists of liquid discharge from the sanitary facility, cooking, bathing, laundry, and domestic use from residential, commercial, or institutional sources. The water discharge originating from a wide variety of manufacturing processes from the commercial and industrial sectors is known as industrial wastewater or effluent.
Wastewater treatment is a process that helps to clean contaminated water so that it can be returned to the water cycle.
Many different methods can be used to remove contaminants, and the type of method used will depend on the type and amount of contamination present.
The most common types of wastewater treatment plants are effluent treatment plants (ETP), sewage treatment plants (STP), and common and combined effluent treatment plants (CETP).
Effluent treatment plants (ETP) are usually used by industries with high manufacturing capacities, such as textile, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, containing organic or inorganic wastewater or a combination of both with high COD, TDS, and extreme pH, making the wastewater highly toxic.
Effluent treatment plants are selected and designed according to the type and volume of incurring industrial effluent.
Sewage treatment plants remove contaminants from domestic wastewater, such as residential colonies, institutions, hospitality industries, etc.
STPs contain wastewater with a high amount of organic material that can be treated without much difficulty.
Common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) are designed to treat wastewater from various small-scale industries that are not able to treat effluents on-site at a common effluent treatment plant.
CETPs are usually constructed in industrial estates or industrial development corporations (IDC).
The wastewater treatment consists of 3 stages. The primary stage consists of various techniques for removing large solid materials from the incoming water.
Bar screening filters out any large solid material like wood, plastic, rags, etc.
Primary clarifier allows the settling of solids via gravity; sometimes, coagulants and flocculants are used to precipitate and settle the dissolved solids. Secondary treatment of wastewater (commonly known as biological wastewater treatment) is the microbe-mediated wastewater treatment coming from a primary clarifier. It involves aerobic, anaerobic treatment, or a combination of both processes to treat the organic material in the wastewater by reducing COD, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. The tertiary stage is the final stage of wastewater treatment to improve the water quality to a level that allows the discharge of water into the environment or the reuse of treated water. It involves processes like disinfection, membrane filtration, carbon filtration, etc.
Microorganisms are intrinsic to the secondary treatment of wastewater.
This is because they are mediators in the degradation of organic material present in wastewater.
In biological wastewater treatment, microbes consume the organic material present in wastewater as a source of food containing carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other essential nutrients to grow.
In return, they convert the highly toxic contaminants into smaller, non-toxic materials that can be discharged safely into the environment.
Secondary treatment of wastewater requires a combination of different microorganisms.
The most common bacteria in wastewater treatment are Bacillus and Pseudomonas species.
There is a variety of Bacillus species, like B. licheniformis, B. subtilis, B. megaterium, B. pumilus, B. coagulans, etc., while in Pseudomonas, P. aeruginosa, P. putida, P. fluorescens, etc., potential strains of these bacteria are most commonly used to treat pollutants present in the wastewater treatment system.
The basis of microbes being chosen for treating wastewater solely depends on their genetic and enzymatic machinery that makes them capable of degrading substrates found in certain types of wastewater.
Apart from this, there are higher life forms such as free-swimming ciliates, stalked ciliates, rotifers, and tardigrades that help in creating bio-enzymes for wastewater treatment by feeding on free bacterial cells and help in maintaining good flocculation in the wastewater treatment system.
An aerobic process involves a set of microorganisms that grow optimally in the presence of oxygen.
Anaerobic wastewater treatment involves microorganisms that grow in the absence of oxygen.
It is an energy-intensive process as it utilizes continuous electricity for aeration and monitoring of the aeration parameters.
Because of accelerated microbial activity, the retention time for waste degradation is less than that required for anaerobic treatment.
Selecting the process for biological wastewater treatment in an industry is based on various factors such as :
In a wastewater treatment plant, usually, a D.O. level between 1 to 2 mg/L is maintained. Low DO levels can hamper microbial growth and thus reduce the treatment efficiency of your treatment plant.
Biogas is produced as a result of bacteria breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. This process is formally known as anaerobic digestion.
A biological wastewater treatment system uses bacteria and other microorganisms to clean water. This technology is effective in treating water contaminated with organic materials, such as sewage.
Biological wastewater treatment is a process that uses microorganisms to break down pollutants in effluent water. This process is designed to help reduce up to 80% of the pollutants in the effluent before release.
Wastewater treatment processes use one or more of the following: phase separation, such as sedimentation; biological and chemical processes, such as oxidation; or polishing.
