Basic terminology used in the Treatment of Wastewater.

water pollution is one of The global Environmental issues. Water pollution is caused by different areas like, Residential areas, Industrial actions, oil leaches, landfill sites, etc.

So This wastewater should be treated before discharge in any slim. There are certain wastewater treatment plants are used to treat different type of wastewater.

Before We start treatment techniques, We need to understand the basic terminology used in the Treatment of Wastewater.

1. Characteristics: General classes of wastewater such as physical, chemical and biological.

2. Composition: The make-up of wastewater, including physical, chemical, and biological ingredients.

3. Disinfection: Reduction of disease-causing and harmful microorganisms by physical and chemical actions.

4.Effluent: wastewater discharge from unit steps.

5.Impurities: Constituents addes to the water through use.

6. Parameter: A measurable factor such as total suspended solid.

7. Pollutants: Constituents added to the water through use.

8. Recycling: The reuse of treated wastewater.

9. Reuse: Benificial use of treated water.

10. Sludge: Solid removed from wastewater treatment plants. Its also called biosolids.

Main Objective of Sewage Treatment Plant

Sewage is generated from the residential area and some kind of industry. Their sewage is contain of high organic meters and some amount of other pollutants. 

As I explain in the past blog1. Wastewater is one of the global environmental issues. It has to be treat before discharge into any water body like a lake, river, and sea.

Main objectives of sewage treatment plants are as follows:

 1) to remove organic meters from the wastewater.

 2) to reduce water parameters.

 3) to neutralize wastewater before discharge.

 4) to kill pathogens.

Basic introduction about wasterwater

water is a basic need for any living being. for the survival of animals and plants and to complete bio-diversity, water is necessary. 

due to rapid industrialization, groundwater sources like river, pond, leak, etc.. are going to contaminated. As a result, drinkable water sources are very less, and many states are facing a Lack of water.

but for change, new techniques and treatment processes are invented to reduce gound waster pollution. Which gives treated and recycled waster for residential purposes.

In further blogs, I will talk about different effects of wastewater on environments, different pollutants that are present in wastewater, and also explain the treatment process which is used to treat wastewater.
