Advice for the selection of a plant according to the type of waste water

Advice for the selection of a plant according to the type of waste water

Choosing the right type and size of wastewater treatment plant is essential to properly treat your wastewater. The type of system will depend on many factors, such as the amount of flow and the chemical composition of your wastewater stream. In this article we will look at some criteria to consider when selecting a wastewater treatment plant, as well as some common types of plants that can be used for different types of wastewater flows.

Factors to consider when selecting the size of a wastewater plant.

To determine the best plant size, it is important to take into account

  • The flow rate of wastewater. Usually measured in gallons per day or liters per second.
  • The concentration of the wastewater. If the wastewater is extremely concentrated (such as from an oil refinery), the plant will need to be larger than if the liquid entering the facility is more dilute (such as when domestic drains are clogged).
  • The temperature at which the system will operate can affect the amount of energy needed for pumping and other tasks. This will also affect the amount of heat that needs to be removed from the system using cooling towers or other means before it exits through a discharge pipe to rivers or lakes nearby communities living downstream from where the wastewater treatment plants discharge their effluent into drinking water supplies.

Chlorine resistance of different types of sewage treatment plants

The importance of chlorine resistance. The type of wastewater treatment plant should be selected according to the type of wastewater. Chlorine resistance is an important characteristic for the selection of a wastewater treatment plant. The most common types of wastewater are

  • Wastewater (sewage): Wastewater is produced by households, restaurants, hospitals and other institutions that produce human or industrial waste from toilets, sinks and showers. This type of wastewater contains toilet paper with oils and grease from sinks, etc. It also contains harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals, which must be removed before being discharged into nature so as not to contaminate rivers or groundwater sources.
  • Industrial (industrial) wastewater: includes chemical plants that produce products such as fertilizers or detergents and use large quantities of water in their production processes; textile factories that use large quantities of chemicals; etc., these types require advanced treatment systems because they contain more toxic substances than domestic wastewater but less than municipal wastewater, so they are treated differently depending on the type.

Conclusion: the correct choice of the type and size of a system is essential to achieve adequate wastewater treatment.

Now that we have discussed the different types of systems and their associated features, it is time to make a choice. The type and size of system you choose should be based on your needs, as well as the characteristics of the wastewater being treated. Once you have decided on a suitable system, hopefully your installation will be easy and trouble-free. After reading this article, you should have a better understanding of the different types of wastewater treatment plants available and how they work. To help you decide which system is best for your needs, we have outlined a few things to consider when choosing between them. First, consider what type of wastewater you have: fresh or salt water? If it is fresh water, choose an aeration system because it does not require any chemicals and can treat up to 300 people per day; if it is salt water, choose an oxidation pond because it only needs sunlight and a depth of more than 3 meters.
