Effluent Treatment Plant Design

Effluent treatment is process of removing contaminants from wastewater. It contains physical, biological and chemical processes. Its aim is to release safe water to environment so that it cannot harm to environment. This Article explains how to create and what are the factors needs to be considered in effluent treatment plant design process.

Benefits of Effluent Treatment Plant

All manufacturing companies face strict regulations on waste and discharge. Non-Compliance can lead to fine and operations interference from pollution control board.

Wastewater treatment plant can be beneficial for :

• Stay in compliance
• Eliminate municipal fine
• Reduce supply cost by recovering production materials out of the waste stream for recycle
• Eliminate extra water usage during processing
• Reduce hauling and off-site treatment cost

Wastewater treatment plant design is primary process in which untreated waste water is analysed and based on requirement of uses of treated effluent plant is designed. Also design of effluent treatment plan is highly site and industry specific.

Design of effluent treatment plant is to treat non-hazardous industrial waste water and should focus on cost-effective, minimal maintenance and requires minimal manpower etc.

Also these plants should include processes such as pH change, aerated lagoon, polishing/infiltration ponds and sedimentation/facultative basins etc.
